It is disturbing how many teens and young ones at that are takign nude photos of themselves and posting them on the internet or sending them to friends. It's almost like not a big deal. What's wrong with our society? I don't think this girl should be arrested though and charged with guy pornography and possibly have a SEX OFFENDER RECORD! That's outrageous. She's only 14. A 18 year-old girl can post all the nude photos she wants of herself on the internet and it's fine. If anything, this girl needs counseling. She obviously has some self-esteem issues and didn't think about the consequences of posting these pictures. Now if someone over 18 had taken the pics. then yes, they should get arrested. She took them herself though. I'm sure she didn't even know that it was illegal. I think they should just make a law that guys under 18 can NOT take nude photos of themselves (even on a camera phone) and the penality should not be jail. It could be community service (as a detterant) and definitely required counseling. However, they shouldn't even be handcuffed. They should be issued a ticket and told they have to go to court in which time the judge will decide if the youth needs community service and counseling or just counseling. And all schools starting from like fifth graders should have a police officer and/or a counsler come in and talk to ALL students about that taking these photos is ILLEGAL not just not a good idea. I feel bad for this girl. I'm sure she has some major issues and she must be scared to death thinking she could go to jail! THIS IS SO SAD! |
| Yes, it is absolutely absurd. However, I live in the state of New Jersey and can tell you that only HERE IN THIS HELLHOLE would they enforce something like that on a guy. If ANYBODY is responsible for that happening it is the parents who did not raise their guy to have self respect. Yes the guy did something wrong but I cannot even see who this falls under guy porn statutes when it was of herself...her own body and she was not selling it but merely sharing her photos with friends. Her lawyer will get this thrown out of court and NJ will have egg on their faces for harming a 14 year old and we idiots who are stupid enough to live in NJ will look all the worse |
Accidently saw husbands yahoo photos and he had about 200 photos of teen(14-16yrs who all look similar to me? I talked to him about it he said he hadnt know they were under 18, he did that years ago before we were married, and hadnt looked at them since. I pointed out they were dated last year april timeframe and he just said oh, he said it was the only time he had done that, though I have walking in on him watching porn online (dont know their ages) when I was already in bed. I tried not to be confrontational but I am 20 he is 33, and sometimes I feel like I am just a sex object to him, we met when I was 17, and we have 2 guys together so I dont want to leave him(both times I have he gives me a major guilt trip) over nothing. I am not self sufficient yet no license(just dont know how) no college havent had a job. so even if I wanted to it would take at least a bit to get on my own 2 feet. I love my husband to a degree its just that I am rather insecure now I feel like I am not important really truly that I am just his ideal and when I get to old I worry what I will be left with. please help |
| I went through something like this and it sucks. The only suggestion I can say is try to talk to him and explain your feelings. Don't yell and curse. Just talk. Maybe he'll get it. And also get into school so you can fall back on your own. |
Why does the government keep making absurd sex offender laws? Why does the government keep making absurd sex offender laws instead of reforming the one that obviously do not work?
Case in point
"There's also the case of "Amber" and "Jeremy," a couple of Florida teens who took photos and videos of themselves engaged in sexual acts at Amber's house and then emailed them to Jeremy's computer. They have been convicted of "producing, directing or promoting a photograph featuring the sexual conduct of a guy." Because they were sent to his computer, Jeremy was also convicted of possession of guy pornography.
The conviction was upheld on appeal, the majority opinion stating that the "Appellant was simply too young to make an intelligent decision about engaging in sexual conduct and memorializing it."
If they were too young to make an intelligent decision, how can they then be held legally responsible for it? It's a bizarre paradox where they are too innocent to choose sex, but mature enough to choose be sex offenders. I mean, the courts didn't even release their real names, to protect them!
The dissenting judge in the case rightly pointed out the obvious, that these laws were "designed to protect guyren from abuse by others, but it was used in this case to punish a guy for her own mistake.""

We have a case in CA currently going to court, where a 18 year old was caught having sex with his 15 year old girlfriend over 30 years ago, when there was no "sex offender" registry or Jessica's law. He pled guilty, was fined $50, and went on his way. Two years later he married the girl, and they now have three guyren and several grandguyren.
Last year he got a DUI. Under "Jessica's Law" *any* crime committed by someone who has previously committed a crime that would today be classified as a sex offense causes that offense to be re-activated and the offender registered. As a result, he has to sell his house and move. He cannot live within 2,000 feet of any school or park, which pretty much means he can live only in rural areas of the State.

How do you feel about celebrities selling their sex appeal for money, selling their souls for money? a lot of celebrities, wear next to nothing...have sex videos...nude photos...write songs without soul...about their sex appeal...drugs, smoking, drinking, pimping, clubbing, etc...teen pregnancies...sex before marriage...multiple arrests...guys dressing like, wanting to look like, their favorite celebrities...guys looking up to stars who smoke, drink, use drugs, and have sex before marriage...celebrities who have eating disorders...how do you feel about these stars who will go to any methods to make millions of dollars?...not caring about their fans, but rather selling their movies/records...selling their souls in the process!!! |
| I really don't support those who are willing to give up everything for temporary fame. I think it's wrong, and I've honestly wondered if they ever stop and think about what they're doing, saying, selling, and encouraging people to do. It's not right. If we want things to change we've got to stop supporting what they're doing. If it means, stop buying there films/cd's, or products then so be it! If enough of us gathered together and decided to stop supporting these "life-wreckers" then we could make a difference! |
How many parents operate and tell guys 'under our roof is prefered and ok' with teen couples 4 safety? How many parents operate and tell guys 'under our roof is prefered and ok' with teen couples 4 safety?
Ie going the oposite of don't ever briang anyone over to this house for sex or making out. The complete opposite pretty much on the basis you are happy they aint the lonley nurdy one no body wants to date or be freind with.
but more so as under your own roof is far safer then going off into the woods or wherever.
As a controlled environment maybe with hidden panic button, condoms, hidden weapon say cs spray behind bed board.
Or just folks in the house with only a light bolt on the door for privacy that breaks easy...
Maybe with fake photos around the house of dad in army, winning martial arts prizes, with biker gang buddies etc.
Subtlely saying u can date my duaghter, even bone her but hurt her you are history...

My parents had this policy as it related to drinking and drugs. If any of my sibblings and I wanted to experiment with drugs or alcohol we were permitted to just as long as we did it at home and not out in the street. At least if you engaged in that kind of thing under my parents roof you knew what you were using and you could be rushed to the hospital in the event that something catastrophic happened. If you did that stuff at a house party or in the street somewhere you were more likely to get some bad substances in the drugs or you were likely to drink some alcohol laced with some other dangerous drug.
Come to think of it, when I was little I recall times when I would go into my cousin's room early Saturday morning to watch cartoons only to find his girlfriend in the bed. My uncle must have had a similar policy. |
What is the cleanest fashion or Teen fashion magazine? I get TeenVogue, but does anyone know of any others that are generally clean? By clean I mean: no articles on sex, no nude or near-nude photo shoots, just fashion. |
For teens I personally love Seventeen, but that has it's off side articles which you aren't looking for.
Although not geared towards teens, you can try People Style watch. That magazine is packed with the latest fashion and accessories!

Current teen issues, photo essay topic? I'm doing a photo essay and am looking for some teen issues.
There are somehtings I don't really want to base my photo essay on like, drugs, smoking, sex etc.
seems corny and uncomfortable to me.
any ideas for topics? |
| how about guyhood/teen obesity? That's a huge problem in todays world. Either that or drugs. That shouldn't be uncomfortable to you. I'm a teenager too and that's not corny or uncomfortable to me |
Do you think two teenagers sexting should be prosecuted and recorded as a sex offender for life? Sexting is sending nude or partial nude photos via cellphone.
I saw this on tonight's news - and curious of your opinions. The pornography laws were written before this type of activity existed, so prosecutors are now getting flooded with these types of cases. Schools are required to turn in the teens. |
I saw it as well..
its crazy. i mean, i wouldn't. but i don't think that if both people are age that they should be considered sex offenders for life. i could see if one is 18 or above and the other isn't.
but its still stupid. stop them from sending things like that, and they'll resort to the real thing. then who feels dumb? |
Teen pregnancy rate has risen? The northeast has the lowest teen birth rates and the south has the highest.
Mississippi has the highest rate at 68 births per 1000.

Does the south not teach sex ed as well as the north? Is there more abstinence-only programs in the south? If there are, they obviously don't work... this makes me sad. |
I'm not surprised at all. Abstinence-only programs don't work.
It is very sad. |
Great or horrible sex? Don't you think fewer people would have premarital sex if they saw what std's really look like?

I think showing teens these photos would make them vomit, rather than get it on. Why don't they show these at school? |
| That would probably stop them from ever wanting to even encounter sex. Those photo's made me almost vomit. But sex education should be improved and they should show it maybe not to say that you can't have sex before your married but rather show what happens when you sleep around, it would probably encourage people to stop having sex with random people or cheating on their husbands or boyfriends and just trying to find that one person that makes them happy, instead of indulging in a life of self-pleasure and satisfaction and never finding that one person that completes them. It will also encourage safe sex, something which a lot of people don't do or even consider. |
