Why do Teenagers Post Nude Pictures of Themselves Online?

abcnews.go.com — The 15-year-old Ohio girl who was arrested last week and accused of sending nude pictures of herself to classmates is the product of a culture where pornography has gone mainstream and fame can be had in an instant by simply distributing a sexually explicit video with a cell phone or on the Internet.

  • lisaawesome, on 10/14/2008, -6/+466It may not be the wisest thing to be sending or posting explicit material when you're 15 but to prosecute a kid for doing so is just silly. That is something the parents should deal with not the law.
  • theutopian, on 10/14/2008, -11/+373Because teenage girls are ***** stupid, that's why.

    They base their self worth on the attention they get from boys (and other girls). Their reasoning 'if I show him my boobs, he'll love me and my girlfriends will think I'm cool.'

    Once you digitize yourself naked in any form, it will spread across the worldwide web some day. Just don't do it.
  • inactive, on 10/15/2008, -37/+345We bombard people with war images on a daily basis included beheadings, limbs blown off, skin burned, mutilated babies, and when someone flashes a breast we're all up and arms about it.

    This shows what we value in our country. War is good, sex life is wrong. Goddamn Christians.
  • lisaawesome, on 10/14/2008, -1/+288The term sex offender gets applied to EVERYONE nowadays. No one can just be a stupid teenager anymore. Are you a 17 year old getting it on with a 16 year old? You're a sex offender. Take nudies of yourself when you're 15? Sex offender. Pee in public? Sex offender.
  • bicyclethief, on 10/14/2008, -1/+267Peelin bananas in public? Sex offender.
  • geekchic, on 10/14/2008, -3/+248I always presume that most of them are "honey pot" traps by local police forces.
  • Lewie, on 10/15/2008, -0/+244Petting your cat on the front porch? Sex offender.

  • SisyphusFragmnt, on 10/15/2008, -0/+203Planting tulips in public? Sex offender.
  • davdev, on 10/14/2008, -4/+207Exactly, the possibility of this girl having to register as a sex offender is absurd, as is possibly going after the people she sent the files too. It's not their fault she's an idiot
  • JonTheGoose, on 10/15/2008, -0/+197Eating a delicious smoked kielbasa at the county fair? Sex offender.
  • inactive, on 10/15/2008, -0/+196I'm not falling for that again. The last 3 times I showed up and Chris Hansen was there waiting for me.

  • sanman, on 10/14/2008, -5/+183guys posting pics of themselves nekkid is creepy

    but if girls wanna do it, we should see it as promoting gender self-confidence -- women's lib

  • erasedgod, on 10/15/2008, -2/+104Stirring some tuna? Sex offender.
  • raydeen, on 10/15/2008, -5/+106It's funny that two of the most basic acts of living, ***** and *****, are also two of the most frowned upon things in our society. Everybody *****. Everybody *****. Everybody is naked under their clothes. We need to get over ourselves.
  • avataros, on 10/15/2008, -6/+107I posed the same question to the folks at 4chan /b/. Then pedobear called me a party pooper.

  • bram, on 10/15/2008, -0/+95I would love for someone to punk Chris Hanson by showing up on To Catch a Predator with a chainsaw and a meat grinder.
  • ZacT, on 10/15/2008, -2/+95How about staying out of their business instead of telling them that being naked is wrong and illegal. A 15 year old should not be sent to jail for looking at a naked 15 year old. Especially if they are looking at themselves.

  • BXRWXR, on 10/15/2008, -5/+89Because shut up, that's why.
  • DekarCorvus, on 10/15/2008, -3/+87Because they are a generation of attention whores. likely ignored by there parents who are too busy to actually care what they do in day to day life...but are the first to yell at them when they did something wrong. so they gratify themselves by seeking attention the easiest way they can by resorting to humanity's most primitive desires.
  • phuckpolitics, on 10/15/2008, -3/+83Who cares why their doing it.

    We should be asking why this wasn't happening when I was a teenager.
