Stupid Naked Teens

Damn I feel old. Back when I was in high school, we were just getting e-mail accounts. Most of us didn't have cell phones let alone cell phones that could take pictures.

Well, apparently the new thing with kids is to send naked pictures of themselves to each other. Actually, that part didn't surprise me too much. While I was in college, my roommate received a topless photo from some girl he knew back in high school (he didn't even know her very well. Go figure).

The thing about this phenomenon now is with cell phones, it's easier than ever for teens to take nudie pics of themselves at a moment's notice. Oh, and one other thing: if you're fifteen years old and you take a picture of your genitals and then send it to someone else, technically you are distributing child pornography.

So what to do? Right now enforcement is pretty scattershot. Some states are prosecuting the teens who take the pictures and then send them. Some are prosecuting the people who receive the pics, even if they didn't ask for them. Have I mentioned that child porn is a felony that almost guarantees jail time?

It seems to me that you have to do something to halt this phenomenon if only because the potential for abuse later on is very high (imagine, for example, what would happen if someone forwarded a naked picture of you to hundreds of people and then posted it on the internet as a way to haze you). But criminal proceedings seems like the wrong way to do it.

What do you think?

Edit: Yep. Just found out Makokam already posted about this. Oh well. To keep this thread pseudo-relevant, I'll throw in another story.

13 year old dad! (and 15 year old mom)

The pictures are kind of freaky...

Yea this is nothing new by any means of the imagination. I used to sell porn pictures cut out of magazines like hustler, penthouse, and playboy when I was 7-8 years old.

Lets also not forget about the other kinds of phone camera misuse like; taking naked pictures of each other, taking unwanted nude pictures, using camera phones to cheat on exams.

The number of ways to abuse camera phones is ridiculous.

Which merely points to the fact that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

If I was a teen with these kind of hyper modern cell phones would I misuse them?

The answer is, "hell to the mother fucking yea I would,"

Which leads to the question, who really is at fault here? Is it the teens, or the parents giving teens the phones?

I have two kids of my own. Growing up there were things for kids, and things for adults. Obviously things like sex, drugs, relationships are of the "adult only" variety.

But lets also be realistic here. How many adults do you know that can hardly control their own basic impulses to abuse things like sex and drugs? If these people can't even help themselves, then how on earth are they going to help their kids to know any better?

Its a vicious cycle, and I really do feel that certain people are totally unfit as parents.

However, I do want to point out that things may not be as bad as they appear. Sure the world may be turning out like the movie "idiocracy".

But if you look at history people were getting married 100 years ago at 13 years old. Today 13 years old seems awfully young, but our lifespans have become much longer.

Anyone ever hear the oldies song, "16 candles?"

Its about how an older guy loves a 16 year old. Kind of disturbing.....

"Happy birthday, happy birthday, baby
Oh, I love you so

Sixteen candles make a lovely light
But not as bright as your eyes tonight (as your eyes tonight) (oh)
Blow out the candles, make your wish come true
For I’ll be wishing that you love me, too (that you love me, too)

You’re only sixteen (sixteen)
But you’re my teenage queen (you’re my queen)
You’re the prettiest, loveliest girl I’ve ever seen (I’ve ever seen) (oh!)

Sixteen candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for I love you so (for I love you so)

You’re only sixteen (sixteen)
But you’re my teenage queen (you’re my queen)
Oh, you’re the prettiest, loveliest girl I’ve ever seen (I’ve ever seen) (oh!)

Sixteen candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for I love you so (for I love you so)
For I love you so!!! "

So, this article is interesting. And it just once again raises the point that humans are selfish creatures that have a natural tendency towards the dark side.
THIS is my side, THIS is the demiltarized zone, and THAT is your side.

"Good and Evil" is too complicated. I prefer, "Us and Them".

XD The power of sexting!

Most people consider it harmless because they feel nothing bad can happen.

I think they should be frightened to the point where they wont do it.

I thought she'd been locked up for sexting.

I don't know, I've know girls who do it, and I don't see the big deal. I mean they are nice to look at, and if you're willing to do it then you should be willing to accept the consequences, but apparently not everyone thinsk about the consequences. I think locking people up is too extreme, but honestly if people would just do these things in the privacy of their homes no one would ever know.

Xantar: And for your information, I didn't call on any minions. They got into this on their own, and they seem to be having a blast.

Marci: Screw you too, I'm not your minion.

Xantar: Also, Makokam is not my minion. Just thought I'd point that out.

There is no difference in "risk" between sending your boy/girlfriend a sexy/nude picture of yourself on a phone and giving them a physical photograph. The only difference is that it would take longer to scatter it to the ends of the internet since you have to scan it first. Hell, you could even photo copy it and litterally scatter it to the winds.

This entire subject is over blown to no end. The idea of any legal actions taken against anyone for this act is ludicrous.

Well I kind of meant just stripping in the privacy of your own home. Didn't consider polaroids haha. I mean I can't say it would be smart to give anyone but a husband or wife a picture like that, but kids are horny these days. And I'm not positive what a husband or wife would need with a picture when they have the real thing, maybe for those long business trips or something.

What I was saying is that punishing anyone for this is stupid. If it's over a phone or giving someone a polaroid, the picture can still be distributed, and it's a personal choice as to whether or not someone wants to give someone a picture of themselves. The law should not have anything to do with it, nor should schools.
You want to do something about? Make a PSA, but if you punish a kid for this, you should be beaten. A pic getting away from you and everybody seeing you're naked ass when you didn't want them too should be enough of a consequence.

Yeah I agree completely. I think the big issue is the whole "child porn" thing. Parents just need to teach their kids to behave more responsibly in my opinion. They only have to wait until they are eighteen and then it is completely legal, just embarrassing.

If you sext, the resultant bullying might drive you to suicide.

On the one hand, this is really tragic. On the other hand...come on! You're broadcasting naked pictures of yourself out to people! This is why I don't want children. I just can't risk having any spawn of mine exposed to stupidity like this.
