If she was mine, I'd tell her to own it. What's done is done, so the best thing she can do now is hold her head high and not be ashamed if her naked, drunken self is plastered wall to wall.

After all, it's not like she's the first or last girl to get herself photographed like that. It doesn't mean there won't be consequences (ie, any hope of getting a job as a school teacher may be pooched), but she can mitigate some of the worst of it by refusing to let it define her.

Then, having told her this, I'd refocus the conversation on what the hell she's planning to do with her life. Does she have a job? Is she going to school? Are you paying for her school? Where does she plan to be next year? And the year after that?

She's an adult, and it's time to start treating her like one. That means, if she's living at home, it's for a good reason (ie, she's in school) and you get to set some ground rules (grades above a certain percentile and no drunken naked party pics). If she has no good reason to be living at home, then yes - it's time for her to leave and start becoming self-supporting.

But don't make leaving home a punishment! Help her. This is the next big step in her life, analogous to learning to walk. So buy her a copy of "Good to Go" and help her put together her first budget. Walk her through the steps of becoming independent.

And then let her go, to make her own mistakes and (hopefully) learn from them.

There are tons of great books written for young adults about to leave home for the first time. The better ones have checklists for everything from an apartment walkthrough to pantry essentials. Check Amazon.

Edit: This is the one I bought my little sister She says she still refers to it, and she's on her 4th place.
