Pfft, more than 1/2 have sex by 18.

"54 percent of boys and 58 percent of girls have had sex by age 18"

Isn't the real problem that these photo's might get around to stay on the internet forever?

I think i recall a case were some sexting kid got listed as a sex offender because she sent naked pictures of a minor.

Yeah, minors who send naked pics of themselves can be charged with child porn

And don't forget if a teen sends it to an adult, now the adult is in big trouble.

Or has been in the past.

Laws really need to change.
