Re: Sexting

Sexuality is increasing throughout time.

At least, the openness of sexuality. Except in America.

Teenagers in the States are fighting for their right to express sexuality, as far as I can tell, with all of these things going on. Fight for birth control, fight for 'sexting'.

It seems that the US is one of few countries that prefers to promote abstinence rather than safe sex, making it harder and harder for teens to reach thing such as birth control in hopes that all of a sudden teenagers will no longer be horny, or even teenagers anymore.

Now they're trying to prosecute teens for taking pictures. Of themselves. Oh lord, we're going down down down.

The fact that they even made a word for it shows that people are severely overreacting. Yes, teens may screw up and embarrass themselves, but come on! You don't prosecute screw-ups for everything they do. The only thing these people are doing is screwing up. They aren't hurting anyone but themselves. There's the argument that they're also hurting their family, but come on. This is PERSONAL, not CRIMINAL.
