The whole sending naked pictures thing is also distressing- teenage boys are absolute scumbags about this sort of thing, any girl who puts an even remotely revealing picture out there is sure to be on everyone's smart phone within a couple of days. Even if they leave their face out of it, it is quickly uploaded to a social network and tagged, so everyone knows who it is. Gossip and scandal moves at lightning speed through the school and kids viciously pile on to the despised in their peer group via twitter etc.
I'm sure it will balance out, with time, but I have no illusions that it's not harmful.

Ide like to be the exeption to the scumbag list. If someone disrespects a girl near me they feel the hard end of my steel toe capped boots IF there lucky.....
