For more than two days now, Amber Cole has become a trending topic on Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites. Although the subject has set Twitter on fire, the big questions must be who is Amber Cole and why is she trending?

Social networking sites have got a new darling offering the always sought after voyeuristic pleasure. Amber Cole -- the 14-year-old schoolgirl videotaped performing oral sex on her classmate, which attracted massive number of views on the internet -- is being viewed as a messed up representative of what and what not is wrong with the current generation's attitude towards teenage sex and intimacy.

The buzz is all about Amber Cole, 14, a school-going girl caught on tape performing oral sex on her boyfriend. This is undoubtedly child pornography. However, if the statistics are to be believed, then a lot of people want to watch it. According to Janelle Harris, a blogger, the word on the Internet is that Cole resorted to the act in order to win back her ex-boyfriend. However, being as young as she is, she probably didn't realize just what she was getting into.

The naïve teenager was humiliated as soon as the video hit the Internet and scrutinized to an extent that new rumors allege -- without evidence -- that Amber has committed suicide.
