Teens blame celebs for sending nude selfies

Apparently, 13 percent of teens think that it’s normal to send nude photos of themselves or sexual content over their smart phones, because celebrities do it too — remember the disgraced Edison Chen?

The survey was of 667 teens aged between 11 to 24, and one out of eight youths have sent nude selfies or sexually explicit media over the phone as they “feel it is fun.”

Most of them are unaware that it’s illegal to send sexually explicit material to those under 18. Ahh when you’re young, ignorance is bliss!
