Now, sharing sexually explicit photos 'ordinary' for teens

A new study has revealed that taking and sharing sexually explicit photos has now become ordinary for teenagers.

A study held by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) revealed that viewing pornography became "typical" for people as young as 13 and eight out of 10 thought that it was too easy for youths to see pornography online, the Daily Star reported.

Dalia Ben-Galim, Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) associate director said that it displayed a disturbing picture about the way online pornography was shaping the attitudes and behavior of young people.

Galim said that this new polling data showed that pornographic images were pervasive in teenagers' lives and that young women in particular were highly conscious of how damaging they could be.

A whopping 46percent of those surveyed said that sexting sending sexual or naked pictures and videos was part of everyday life for teenagers.
