The premise is simple; a picture is uploaded and viewers are ask to comment on whether they would “smash” (have sex with) or “pass”.

Users can also upload pictures of others and use this as an avenue for humiliation and bullying.
This is just yet another reason for parents to monitor their children’s internet and social network usage. Children need to be taught that not only can there be consequences for posting pictures online; they also lose control of the use of those pictures. Smash or pass pages are also the destination for many pictures obtained through “sexting”.
A simple search on Facebook of “Smash or Pass” reveals many pictures, including the one used in this post. If you are curious or want to know about your area, open a Facebook profile and search the school name along with smash or pass. The results may shock you.
Sidenote – if the movie “The Social Network” is accurate, Facebook was basically started as smash or pass site. Pictures of female students were paired up and viewers were to vote which one was more appealing.
