Cmon, man. You've never heard of someone "hacking" a facebook account and changing the profile picture to a poop emoji or something?
It is juvenile prank, sure, but high schoolers are literally juveniles.
Obviously, you shouldn't do stuff like this to someone who will freak out and get upset about it.
Persistent bullying and harassment is, of course, not ok. But most "cyber crimes" that high schoolers commit against each other are NOT that. They are dumb pranks like changing a person's sexual orientation on facebook.
For most situations, the vast majority of kids would just be embarrassed for like 10 seconds, laugh, and maybe try to prank the person back.

- yladiz 9y agoYeah but there's a big difference between 'hacking' a friend's Facebook or MySpace account, since it usually happens if they just leave the account open on a computer, and actually keylogging their password.
