One out of five 13- to 19-year-olds have posted nude photos or videos of themselves on the Internet.The survey of 1,280 teenagers by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unwanted Pregnancies found that while most only send nude images to a "boyfriend or girlfriend," 15 percent of teens who have sent out sexual material did so to someone they only knew online.
Teens seem to realize the perils of such behavior, with three quarters of those surveyed agreeing that sending out sexual content can have "serious negative consequences."
If the trend continues to gain steam, this may be the first generation where everyone has seen everyone else naked since the advent of clothes.

Of course science should bring back the Neanderthal: how else can we ever really find out what the world was like when life was worth living...

I do not advocate underage porn, but face it, the kids today are marching to the beat of their own drum. nothing anyone can/will say to them will change what they do, their parents can preach to their kids until they are blue in the face, all that does is make the kids more deermined to do what their parents are telling them not to do. every generation rebels against the adults, the difference is that with advent of the internet it is easier to do what the rebels want to do.. basically anything that their parents say not to do.. Drugs, sex, etc the parents can explain the problems to the kids, but the kids choose to listen and act upoon that which they CHOOSE to listen and act upon

I disagree with that one, big time...
There are so many ways to effectively PUNISH kids around that age. Liberal SCUMBAGS have tied parents arms from doing more effective punishments- like spanking.....
But you can still do other things- such as taking away their computers, cameras, and removing other privileges, etc. If worse comes to worse, you can call the authorities (albeit, it's very pathetic when you have to go to these measures. I understand though if there are some single women who have left a man....Face the facts, women, one way or another- you NEED MEN). Besides that, another problem is that parents are letting their children get away with whatever they want. Parents today also tend to believe that their children "do know wrong" or possibly there ar parents who don't really know what moral "wrong doing" is these days. To some crazy parents (and I have seen some of them), getting naked and taking pictures is an alright thing- even if it's their own kids.
The fact is, people are way too apathetic today..I weep for the future.....

it's depressing. Oh well atleast if everyone starts showing nudes and crazy things online that are like "wtf", if it happens to you, chances are it won't be as bad.
No but seriously. And using Miley's pic is messed up. Seriously? Heard of photoshop? She has gazillions of people bitching on her she doesn't need anymore. How does she not break down IDK.
anyway, yeah, it's sick kids, if you want your bf to see you naked then get all makedup and go INFRONT of him. -.- god

Other people, especially your children, will destroy your life if you do not control them. If there is anything in the world dumber than a teenaged boy, it's a teenaged girl, they are not to be trusted with any decision, this is why the law does not enfranchise them in any way. Let's bring back the Paterfamilias, where no one in the household without a job has any rights. Parents, beat your children until they learn obedience, do not believe anything they tell you, do not give them cars or computers that you do not control, know where they are at all times, kick any boy who touches your daughters in the gonads until they swell up like softballs. Any child psychologist (most of whom have no children, I am certain) who disagrees with this can go shoot herself in the head.

This is a dumb poll - there is a bit of a difference between a 13 year old middle schooler and a freshman or sophomore in college.
