Racy photos on cell phones, computers leads to rise in teen ‘sextortion’

August 15th, 2010

A recent article from the Associated Press (see link below) highlights another aspect of our rapidly degrading culture . On the one hand, so called “free thinkers” would have us believe nudity is harmless and victimless. On the other hand these degenerates that scream “First Ammendment” so loudly are the same folks that turn a blind eye to the real harm, I guess because reality does not reflect the based depravity of their desires.

In this article, a very bleak picture is painted of what happens when teens engage in “harmless” fun with cell phones and nudity. It isn’t so harmless after all! The peer pressure to be “one of the in crowd” doesn’t change. It still has a huge impact on our youth and parents feel more and more helpless every day. The damage is real, the pain is real and the impact is life long. When we ignore that inner voice, that I believe comes from our creator, we may try to call it “harmless fun”, but the consequences are very real and very painful.

Teens, please do not give in to that pressure for your own sake. Parents, you must discuss this issue with your cell phone carrying teens. I know it is not comfortable and you may meet resistance and endure conflict, but that is the culture we live in. We must suffer a little discomfort and conflict now or we will surely face extreme pain later. Sit down with your family and openly discuss and control this issue before it controls you!
