If you play video games, most female characters are portrayed with unrealistic bodies - huge chests, huge butts and tiny everything else. Remember The Sims video game you - or someone you knew - used to play?

By LYZI WHITE | Apr. 9, 2013Veronica Hardy, a freshman geology major, was shocked and dismayed when her floormate, with whom she was having sexual relations, sent the naked pictures she sent him that he said he wouldn't show a soul to their entire dorm. She didn't understand why Ron Kestler, a freshman undecided major, would betray her trust and the "wonderful and strong relationship of two weeks."

Her neighbors' approval did not alleviate Hardy's sadness. "I just can't fathom why the guy I totally fell for two weeks ago would take my personal pictures that I sent to him in confidence and send them to other people," Hardy said.
