Crazy Kids and Their Hormones

I have been looking in the news lately, and I have come across a lot of stupid stories involving sex. Apparently in Jr. and Sr. High Schools across the country a new craze has emerged called "sexting". As the name implies "sexting" involves sending and receiving explicit text messages, including pictures and videos. I think this is just ridiculous. Just think to yourself, "how many people look at my phone"? I can almost guarantee that someone else looks at your phone other than you. I have been asked countless time "Oh, you got a new phone, can I see it?", or just flat out "Can I look at your phone?". Sometimes they won't even ask. People are not just opening and closing a phone when they look at it, they like to go through contacts, pictures, and vidoes. And it's not to be nosey, but when you hand someone your phone it's almost assumed it's ok to go through that stuff. Those teens who are doing this have to understand this, yet they still do it. A has girl even killed herself over this. After she sent her boyfriend nude photos of herself, they broke up and he proceeded to send them to everyone he knew. After being teased about it, she called the local TV station and warned them as to the danger of sexting, months later she killed herself. One town has even gone far enough as to consider these "sexting" messages child porn.
In another story, a woman showed the sheer stupidity of some people. A woman was concerned that her boyfriend was downloading child porn onto her computer. She decided she would take the computer to the police for investigation. As the police searched the computer, they found porn, kind of. The woman who took the computer in to the police had taken two videos of herself engaging is sexual acts with a dog, his name was Tobey (a beagle). The only thing I can think when I see something like this is, how stupid can you be? Why would anyone think that having a beagle get you off is a good idea. What is worse, her ex-boyfriend appears in one of the videos. The question then becomes, "How many idiots does it take to realize dogs are not sex toys?".
There are links to both stories below.

Question of the Blog: Do you think "sexters" should be charged as sex offenders?
