At least the panty lines aren't showing

   A junior at Sickles High School in Tampa didn’t wear underwear to school one day because she didn’t want her panty lines to show.

   Unfortunately, there was a yearbook photo taken that day, and she has found herself in a photo that reminds a lot of viewers of Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct.

   Mom wants the school to stop handing out the yearbooks, collect the ones that have gone out and reprint them without the photo. “I don’t want any yearbooks out there that have this photo in it because it is going to follow her,” she told 10Connects.com.

   Hillsborough County School District spokeswoman Linda Cobbe told 10 Connects the picture is not revealing at all. “We don’t believe there is exposure in the yearbook. … It is a shadow.”

   “Is it a shadow, is it not a shadow? My whole thing is, it doesn’t matter, the photo itself is damaging to a 16-year-old and should not have been published,” the mother said.

   The student says she won’t return to the school for the rest of the year. “All of the administrators are trying to downplay it and saying I should really laugh it off and come back to school, but I’ve been humiliated,” she said.
