Consider how this article begins: "Say you're a middle school principal who has just confiscated a cell phone from a 14-year-old boy, only to discover it contains a nude photo of his 13-year-old girlfriend."
See the root of the problem, here?
When I was 18, back in the '80s, I was having sex with my 17-year-old girlfriend; and, yes, we once exchanged Polaroid photos of our individual selves nude, with each other. (Note, however, there was nothing "innocent" about it.) But, hey, at least we were old enough to know that we needed to keep those photos as hidden and safe as possible. (For example, we did not show them to our friends, nor did we keep them lying around for other people to find them, like stuck in between the pages of a school textbook or something like that.)
But nowadays, it's teenagers ages 13-15 engaging in this sort of thing; and, well, there's worlds of difference in maturity and common sense between teenagers ages 13-15 and teenagers ages 17-19.
