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.

DISGUSTING!!!! Its a wonder the Mods dont ban you forever for such Grossosities!
Then beat the warped drive to a pulp with a sledge hammer!
How about a hard drive that you evilly drop in beer?
(for those of you not familiar with the show, the character was licensed as both a therapist and analyst, making him California's first licensed "analrapist"...he should have reviewed how the term would be misread before having business cards printed.)
How about the wonderful Secretaries that gave us xeroxes of their Butts and ****’s:-) Pretty Hot then, nothing today! Oh Well!
Nudity is the best form of birth control for those over 40.
It will ruin the taste depending on the quality of the beer but data can be salvaged.
Have you been teaching long enough to see if a change over time?
I had a hard drive fail. I sent it to a recovery firm, and they can recover nearly anything. I can only imagine the feds have a lot more power.
That said, I will never let a hard drive leave my possession again.
Really?
So how about taking out the disc, and melting it?
Destroy the disk and you are protected.
A few thoughts: First, I said nudity, not barely dressed. Second, there is a lot of man made material there, who knows what she would look like if not for her cosmetic surgeon(s). Third, I’m a “results guy” so, I really don’t care how they got there, I’m just glad they are there.
If you’d just listen to me ... children can’t do anything if you apply enough duct tape to them.
Sassy is sending wicked looks your way. Says she can chew through it Uncle TE.
One of my sons (a senior at a public HS) came home the other day and told us the girl sitting in front of him had took a bunch of naked pic’s on her cell phone and showed them to him. He told her she would have a great career as a whore when she graduated. I was proud of him for that, kinda surprised me.
I had a dog that could snap 3/8ths inch steel chain. A bungee cord fixed that. ;^)
Disturbing. But, when our elected officials begin sharing nude photos of each other, then I’ll worry.
In fifteen years I have witnessed the evaporation of the concepts of shame, modesty, and basic manners.
You don’t need to be a teacher to know this or see this. Take a stroll through your local shopping mall. I was no teen angel, but I never swore in front of adults (and their kids!).
