U.S. Study: Young People are Sexting. A Lot.
A study released this week revealed teens are "sexting" way more than previously thought. Sharing explicit photos, videos, and texts with each other, it turns out, is a consequence of many things, including social networks.

When will they stop prying into people's private lives, is it any of their business? What are they going to do now, ban social networks like myspace, hi5 and facebook?

Every year more and more rules and regulations come up. If they keep at this, the american people are going to launch a civil revolt against the government for attempting to control its people and virtually EVERYTHING that they do. I wouldn't be surprised if there was another civil war.

Meh, Aldous Huxley called humanity out on this a long time ago in Brave New World when he mentioned that the children in Utopia begin having sex with one another at a very, very young age.

Sample from the book:[hide]
Aldous Huxley said:
OUTSIDE, in the garden, it was playtime. Naked in the warm June sunshine, six or seven hundred little boys and girls were running with shrill yells over the lawns, or playing ball games, or squatting silently in twos and threes among the flowering shrubs. The roses were in bloom, two nightingales soliloquized in the boskage, a cuckoo was just going out of tune among the lime trees. The air was drowsy with the murmur of bees and helicopters.

..."That's a charming little group," he said, pointing.

In a little grassy bay between tall clumps of Mediterranean heather, two children, a little boy of about seven and a little girl who might have been a year older, were playing, very gravely and with all the focussed attention of scientists intent on a labour of discovery, a rudimentary sexual game.

"Charming, charming!" the D.H.C. repeated sentimentally.

"Charming," the boys politely agreed. But their smile was rather patronizing. They had put aside similar childish amusements too recently to be able to watch them now without a touch of contempt. Charming? but it was just a pair of kids fooling about; that was all. Just kids.

"I always think," the Director was continuing in the same rather maudlin tone, when he was interrupted by a loud boo-hooing.

From a neighbouring shrubbery emerged a nurse, leading by the hand a small boy, who howled as he went. An anxious-looking little girl trotted at her heels.

"What's the matter?" asked the Director.

The nurse shrugged her shoulders. "Nothing much," she answered. "It's just that this little boy seems rather reluctant to join in the ordinary erotic play. I'd noticed it once or twice before. And now again to-day. He started yelling just now …"

"Honestly," put in the anxious-looking little girl, "I didn't mean to hurt him or anything. Honestly."

"Of course you didn't, dear," said the nurse reassuringly. "And so," she went on, turning back to the Director, "I'm taking him in to see the Assistant Superintendent of Psychology. Just to see if anything's at all abnormal."

"Quite right," said the Director. "Take him in. You stay here, little girl," he added, as the nurse moved away with her still howling charge. "What's your name?"

"Polly Trotsky."

"And a very good name too," said the Director. "Run away now and see if you can find some other little boy to play with."

The child scampered off into the bushes and was lost to sight.

"Exquisite little creature!" said the Director, looking after her. Then, turning to his students, "What I'm going to tell you now," he said, "may sound incredible. But then, when you're not accustomed to history, most facts about the past do sound incredible."

He let out the amazing truth. For a very long period before the time of Our Ford, and even for some generations afterwards, erotic play between children had been regarded as abnormal (there was a roar of laughter); and not only abnormal, actually immoral (no!): and had therefore been rigorously suppressed.

A look of astonished incredulity appeared on the faces of his listeners. Poor little kids not allowed to amuse themselves? They could not believe it.

"Even adolescents," the D.H.C. was saying, "even adolescents like yourselves …"

"Not possible!"

"Barring a little surreptitious auto-erotism and homosexuality - absolutely nothing."

"Nothing?"

"In most cases, till they were over twenty years old."

"Twenty years old?" echoed the students in a chorus of loud disbelief.

"Twenty," the Director repeated. "I told you that you'd find it incredible."

"But what happened?" they asked. "What were the results?"

"The results were terrible." A deep resonant voice broke startlingly into the dialogue.

They looked around. On the fringe of the little group stood a stranger –a man of middle height, black-haired, with a hooked nose, full red lips, eyes very piercing and dark. "Terrible," he repeated.

The D.H.C. had at that moment sat down on one of the steel and rubber benches conveniently scattered through the gardens; but at the sight of the stranger, he sprang to his feet and darted forward, his hand outstretched, smiling with all his teeth, effusive.

"Controller! What an unexpected pleasure! Boys, what are you thinking of? This is the Controller; this is his fordship, Mustapha Mond."

His fordship Mustapha Mond! The eyes of the saluting students almost popped out of their heads. Mustapha Mond! The Resident Controller for Western Europe! One of the Ten World Controllers. One of the Ten … and he sat down on the bench with the D.H.C., he was going to stay, to stay, yes, and actually talk to them … straight from the horse's mouth. Straight from the mouth of Ford himself.

Two shrimp-brown children emerged from a neighbouring shrubbery, stared at them for a moment with large, astonished eyes, then returned to their amusements among the leaves...

Now, before anyone gets too excited, I'm not saying that Huxley expressed the opinion "Hooray for little kids exploring their sexuality through fornication and intercourse with one another!" What I'm saying is that Aldous Huxley said what everyone else was thinking but was too afraid to say out loud: "little kids have sexual desires; and left to their own devices they would have sex with one another from a very young age."

The point I am making is, the modern-day media is making a big hullabaloo about so-called "sexting" amongst teens, but the truth of the matter is that they know -- we all know, having once been young ourselves -- that little boys and little girls first start feeling the desire to kiss, embrace, wrap themselves around, etc. members of the opposite sex long, LONG before they're 15 or 16 years old. So my point is, I don't think it all that surprising to discover that teens "sext." What I would consider surprising would be to discover that 7-year olds "sext." That would be surprising. And alarming.

What is alarming is that the government is wasting funds researching stupid areas like these. What exactly do they want to accomplish? For every action there is always and equal and opposite reaction. When you push someone they push back and trust me, when they push back, they push hard. Look at software piracy, the more the push on the topic the stronger people get, they will always find another way and when all the resources are depleted, they resort to locking people up.

Yeah, it sounds like a utopia alright. The US wants everyone to be perfect, we were born sinners and will die as sinners.

The article that you quote was written by an Associated Press educational journalist. She didn't reference any of her statements, and the data she presented came from of an independent survey taken by MTV, which is a tabloid cable television network. What does any of this have to do with the US Government?

YOu seem to be missing the point, that is precisely the next question you will be asking yourself when THEY DO butt in.

Why not, it's mostly used by kids to show themselves either smoking pot/drinking or posting nude pictures of themselves for their friends.. Networking is just the facade those sites hide behind..

How does stickam stay online for that matter? It's mostly kids either getting nude or killing themselves..

Get rid of all the crap that plagues the internet like 4chan, myspace, stickam, etc., etc..

Of course I realize that it would take action for those sites to die, but people can dream..

:nooo:

Now that I think of it, I do agree with you. It wont stop them from doing it on their cell phones tho. Its just humanity, sin is everywhere and no matter how perfect you want things to be, its just not going to happen.

Nude photos are not porn, unless you are a puritan or other form of prude.
