mom

[zach_15]

My mom recently caught me takeing naked pics of my self. Has anybody had this happen and how did u deal with it. it been weird around my house ever since then.

You just have to talk to her about it, take the initiative. You can't out it off to the side and expect everything to go back to being the same.

Well, personally, it's never happened to me because in full honesty, I don't do that sort of stuff. So I can't really offer the best advice since I've never experienced it, but, if you want my advice, I'll say, unless she brings it up, to forget and try and ignore the subject and eventually it'll blow over and be forgotten. When I fight with my mom, we forget after a while.

I hope I was able to help and I hope she doesn't catch you doing that again. If you don't mind my asking, why did you do that in first place?

[zach_15]

i took the pics to send to the person i was dating.

[BrandongoesBoom]

well i never been caught doing that. i was caught masturbating and she was fine with it. it will blow over.

Well, one, in some places that's illegal. Sexting can get the person you're dating put in jail, because even if you consent to it, it's child pornography. So, don't do it.

I did that when I was really youg (IDK why) and she found them, she yelled at me, and I blew it off. Now everything is fine (7 years later) I'm not sure when it was forgotton, but it was soon after the incident. My advice is to tell her you were curious what you looked like down there. (She will most likely mention a mirror, just tell her you didn't think of that) And NEVER EVER EVER NEVER EVER send naked pics of yourself to someone. It's called sexting, and it's illegal. If her dad foung the pics, he could bring you up on charges.

Hope I helped :)

ive been there before but never been caught. the eerieness will leave just as soon as you get over it

Oh, I see. Well, I hope you don't do that again since that can be considered child pornography, if you're under 18, that is.

[ShatteredWings]

If YOU are under the age of 18, naked pictures of yourself are legally considered child porn.
Child Porn is a FEDERAL offense.

Also, these pictures can be kept and sent on past you. So what just went to your girlfriend is also stored at your phone company, her phone company, and anyone she may have sent the pictures to.

Stop sexting.

[Ortizitthisone]

Sexting is very dangerous. Once you send pictures over the airwaves, they're out there somewhere forever. You don't know whose hands those pictures could end up in.

As for your mom, it all depends on your relationship with her. If your relationship is open (i.e., you have been able to talk to her about a lot of things and feel comfortable doing so), then you should talk to her about it. If not, you should still talk to her about it, but maybe wait a while to first see if things blow over.

I know that you may seem super close to your partner right now and that sharing a picture of yourself naked may seem like the logical next step. However, there are two issues you need to consider: future problems and your Mum's feelings.

As for future problems, the reality is that few high school relationships last forever, and the thing is if you have a really nasty breakup with your partner the next thing you know your naked pictures could be sent all over school. There have been plenty of documentated cases of some pretty mean spirited partners sending out such pictures especially if they have a nasty fight or breakup with someone. It is one thing if you want to share your body with your partner when you are old enough to deal with the consequences of doing so, but it is always a bad idea to send naked pictures of yourself to someone especially as such an image will surely come back to haunt you. Also, you have no way or knowing if the image is being kept private by your partner or where it is stored. For all you know it could be on a family machine and one of her siblings could easily stumble across it and send it to everyone. Basically, don't put yourself in a compromised position or leave yourself open to be ridiculed, and don't send out naked pictures of yourself to anyone especially online where things are not secured.

As for your Mum's point of view my guess is that it was not too long ago you were her little boy. Now, you are suddenly engaging in adult-like behaviour which can be hard for any parent. To add insult to injury you are sending out naked pictures of yourself to someone, and your Mum has to assume the worst that some pedo has gotten his/her hooks into you and possibly is trying to make you do bad things. Listen, your Mum loves you, and no sane parent in this world is going to be all right with their kid sending out naked pictures of themselves. This is actually a blessing in disguise as at least your Mum stopped things before you probably could have made a really, really bad decision. My view is to admit to your Mum, if you have not done so already, that you messed up and want to make things right. Also, my thinking is that you two are going to have to talk about being responsible with your body especially with regards to sexuality as I am sure sending nudes of yourself to your partner is leading to you both becoming physical.


In short, while there is nothing about which to be embarrased about the human body the reality is your body is private. Sending electronic copies of nudes of yourself only opens up the possibility that someone could get a hold of them and cause you a lot of problems.
