Thank you to everyone who responded so far. I really fear the consequences if young people have total access to the internet. Things are very different compared to when families didn't have computers. Kids are starting in grade 6 and younger looking at porn. In grade 6 they start pairing up and claiming they're 'going out'. You wouldn't believe the crude language they use and I spoke about this on my other thread.
Last Thursday I called the school and told them about this info going around. I also asked them to get grades 7 and 8 together, to remind the kids about sharing appropriate pictures and not to engage in hateful and sexually explicit language. Young boys are being trained by watching porn and this is what their expectations will be -scary thought.
I wanted to comment on the valid point lonegael made. I think its fine for young women to be proud of their bodies and it's fine to walk around on beaches etc but the naked body shouldn't be shared like this. They can be proud but also need to respect their bodies. When I was young, sex was viewed as something you share with the special person you love. It seems today it's just an activity with very little emotional attachment.
