Another thing for Parents of Teens to be aware of...
Forget about passing notes in study hall; some teens are now using their cell phones to flirt and send nude pictures of themselves. The instant text, picture and video messages have become part of some teens' courtship behavior, police and school officials said. The messages often spread quickly and sometimes find their way to public Web sites. "I've seen everything from your basic striptease to sexual acts being performed," said Reynoldsburg police Detective Brian Marvin, a member of the FBI Cyber Crime Task Force of Central Ohio. "You name it, they will do it at their home under this perceived anonymity." Westerville Central High School senior Jerome Ray said he's received such unsolicited messages, including one from a classmate while he was sitting with his girlfriend. "A lot more girls are aggressive," said Ray, 18. "Some girls are crazy and they are putting themselves out there." Candice Kelsey, a teacher from California, said some teenage girls think they have to be provocative to get boys' attention. As a result, they will send photos they hope their parents never see. "This happens a lot," said Kelsey, author of Generation MySpace: Helping Your Teen Survive Online Adolescence. "It crosses every racial socio-economic group. Christian kids are doing it. Jewish kids are doing it." Male teens are also doing it. For instance, a central Ohio high school teen made a sexual cell phone video of himself and sent it to female classmates. One of the girls forward the Westerville South High School's video to at least 30 other people. A study last year found teens are placing more of an emphasis on image and fame than in the past. Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University who studies young people's trends, found that teens are more confident and assertive than ever before. I've seen everything from your basic striptease to sexual acts being performed Reynoldsburg police Detective Brian Marvin "Adolescents are not known for thinking things through - that's a generational constant," she said. "Now, with the technology that is out there, instead of taking a picture and passing it around the classroom, it's online, which is a whole different ball game. (Teens) don't see it that way." Mark Raiff, a principal at Columbus' Olentangy Liberty High School, said some of his students and their cell phones have caused trouble. "They don't see anything wrong with it," he said. "It leaves me speechless." http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/...n4013175.shtml Ari Note: Why didn't we have cool cellphones and skanky teachers when I was in school? |

What should they do? Frisk the kids for cell phones? Don't underestimate the sneakiness of a high school student. No telling where they'd hide it if they had to.

Yea it's the peds that are ruining these kids. Good god dude, some of the things you post. The Feds are about 10k X more likely to ruin these kids because of this. Or maybe I should just go with the authorities. Kids are alo much more likely to post it on the web to begin with.

Even though it's against the law, as soon as the last bell rings, every kid is pulling out a cell phone and making calls.

Another thing: take your kids phone up when they go to bed, if you want them to get a decent night's sleep:
