Idolator

Occasionally^* Gelfling-esque High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens has mostly suppressed the shame of having naked pictures she snapped for an ex hit the blogs back in September, but the incident has left her with a "valuable lesson," one that she "tries to impart on other young women."

"I tell girls all the time: 'Don't post your private business for the world to see!'" she said. "You just have to be careful."

True enough! In fact, it's never a bad time to post this PSA as a general reminder to boys and girls alike:

Hudgens said the scariest part was not having her Disney owned-and-operated junk end up on every celebrity nudie pic clearinghouse on the Internet, but fessing up to her parents, who we guess didn't know how to use Google. "Well everyone can be naked if they want to," her moms reportedly replied to the news. Didn't you watch the PSA, Mrs. Hudgens??

^* Look, sometimes she's looks normal and sometimes she looks like she should be battling a Skeksis. Just sayin'.
