Rather late to this post, but... I feel what ur saying Artchic. That unfortunately thru the flood of social media a lot of young girls are getting really mixed messages on what it means love ourselves and to be tastefully proud of the natural beauty of our bodies and own individual views of sexuality. Instead I feel that it has gone to the other extreme where being popular online getting followers and such has become the motivation behind a lot of these bra n panties to nude selfies, that some I do believe are done with the right ideas in mind but I depresses me to see so many young girls online like it's one big Mardi Gras spring break girls gone wild, type of thing... but I guess regardless of how myself or others view these images, it really still comes down to the same thing just in a new genre... how do they feel about themselves? Right... there will always be those who express their bodies and sexuality outta self love and feeling empowerment and those who do it outta a need to have others tell them their worth, and then the ones who do it outta peer pressure really or misguided belief that it's just what everyone does. So...I guess I don't think much has changed except the vehicle for exposure is just way more public and in our face everywhere we turn. Idk.
