I am 12 and a 16 year old boy is asking me for dirty pictures.
Question Posted Monday March 17 2014, 2:55 am
There's this boy in my school who is 16. We are close friends and he says I'm like his little sister. Yesterday I split up with my boyfriend and he started talking to me he said he was fat and I said prove it (we always say it joking around) so he sent me a picture of him with no top on and in his boxers and he told me to prove I'm not fat so he convinced me to send him a picture of my belly. Then he said he's sad because my picture wasn't like his and I said I can't take my top off to take a pic of my belly and he put you can. I said no and he was trying to convince me for half an hour before he finally said okay and I don't know what to do? Wether to tell someone? But the hardest part is he has told me he likes me and.. I might like him to ?.. I don't know wether to carry on talking to him or notv someone tell me what I should do? Much appreciated

Bottom line is that he's using you. He doesn't really like you, he just wants to see your body.
Besides that, it's illegal to send dirty pics. Both of you can get in trouble for that.
Also, he's a teenage boy so he'll end up showing his friends to brag or worse.
Dragonflymagic answered Monday March 17 2014, 10:03 pm: Advice man is right, he is too old for you. Four years difference is not a big thing once you're in your 20's but at your age...it is a big deal because kids grow physically and mentally in maturity by leaps and bounds from your age until they graduate high school.
The fact is, very few guys who are juniors or seniors even want to be seen with a girl your age let alone are wanting to be friends with her.
The fact plain old is that he is taking advantage of your age and lack of experience to cajole you into giving him something that satisfies him sexually. At some point, pics wont be enough (yes they're illegal) and he'll want to kiss and touch you. Eventually the touching wont be enough and he'll want full on sexual intercourse. Drop him now. Tell your parents too. It doesnt reflect bad on you. You didn't do anything to cause this.
At your age, you may feel adult enough to handle this on your own dear, but its a scientific and medical fact that the frontal lobe of the brain responsible for some good decision making isn't fully developed until our mid 20's. You are far from 25 yet and so will need help and advice. You started by writing us here which is a good move girl! But you need to talk to the parents next because they are closer to you and better able to help you handle some aspects of this that we can't.
Good luck. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

adviceman49 answered Monday March 17 2014, 9:45 am: DO NOT SEND ANY PICTURES OF THE TYPE HE IS ASKING FOR. There are several reasons for not sending these pictures to him.
1) First and foremost it is illegal. Sending any type of naked or topless photos of someone your age over the internet is considered to be the distribution of child pornography.
2) His having this or these photos is considered possession of child pornography.
3) Given the age difference between you he could be charged with other crimes as well such as contributing to the delinquency of a minor; being a sexual predator and other crimes.
4) Probably most important of all is once you send the picture to someone you lose control of it. He is free to send it out into cyberspace for all the world to see.
Best rule to follow with pictures sent over the Internet: Never send a photo of yourself over the Internet that you would not show your father.
The Social media operators along with the Internet providers are cooperating strongly with the FBI, State and Local police forces to identify those people sending this material across the internet. The chances of being caught are high, even if it is just the one picture.
My advice is to tell you dad what this boy is asking of you and let him take it from there. I would also advise that this boy is too old for you and its taking advantage of your youthful age. Stop talking to him or seeing him. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
