20% of teens say they've put nude pics of themselves online

The internet makes anyone who works with students very nervous.  These statistics don't make you feel better.  

"A survey of 1,280 teenagers (users age 13-19) and young adults (age 20-26) conducted by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and CosmoGirl.com has revealed that one out of five (20 percent) teens overall have posted nude photos or video of themselves on the Internet—that number goes up to a third when young adults are included. While 71 percent of teen girls and 67 percent of teen guys who have sent these photos say they've sent them to a boyfriend or girlfriend."

Here's the survey.

I found this MSNBC video on Kate McKay's blog, and it deals directly with this issue.

Brian Mills also has a blog post on this issue.
