When it comes to sex, tech and teens don't make the best bedfellows. As tech-savvy teens become increasingly fluent with new technology, from social networking sites to tricked-out new cell phones, research finds the negative consequences stacking up.
According to the results of a survey released today by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and CosmoGirl.com, 22 percent of all teen girls — and 11 percent of teen girls ages 13-16 years old — say they have electronically sent, or posted online, nude or semi-nude images of themselves.
And these racy images are also getting passed around: One-third (33 percent) of teen boys and one-quarter (25 percent) of teen girls say they have had nude/semi-nude images — originally meant to be private — shared with them.

I have one from Helen Thomas want me to post it
As a high school teacher I am, sadly, not surprised.
Many of today’s teens view sexual activity as being with on par with getting a hamburger and fries.
The conversations I’ve heard would curl your teeth.
Vomit carnage!
I didn’t know teeth could curl.
No one in my family has ever been nude so far as I know.
All these cellphone cameras make it really difficult to have a good time and get away with it scot-free
Once someone gets one of these in their limewire shared folder, it goes viral.
I need to inspect that dollar menu more closely...
Youth. We waste it on the young and stupid.
lol - I like your family. Very decent folk.
I’ll swap you a Rosie O’Donnell for a Helen Thomas - tell you what I’ll even throw in a Madeline Allbright.
HE** NO!
If your kids share any of these images on the home computer, the images can be retrieved from the hard drive even if you believe you “deleted” them. Should the authorities ever look on the computer and find these images, get ready to register as a sex offender for a very long time after you get out of prison.
I have a Janet Reno if you would like
No.

Last night I was cleaning out old photos and memorabilia from college. I eliminated some items to sanitize my history ;-) Seriously though, I was thinking that the pics of college kids partying in my day were positively G-rated compared to today. I can’t imagine growing up in today’s world.
