Tender Teenager Nude

Bel Powley stars in this frank, funny and tender drama as a California 15-year-old comes of age in this candid, funny and tender drama. Narrating her eager jump into sexuality and adulthood to a tape recorder, she chronicles her promiscuous adventures while exploring her sexuality without fear or hesitation. Heller incorporates cartoons that recall R. Crumb into the narrative – his depiction of female sexuality feels both radical and unexpected in a culture where movies generally depict teenage female sexuality as submissive or subservient compared to this film’s depiction.

Teenagers of all ages take pictures of themselves naked without their knowledge, which may then be sent without consent (sexting). Unfortunately, few researchers know which demographic, technology use and social context predictors influence sexting behaviors among adolescents.

In this study, we surveyed a national sample of youths to explore these predictors. Using logistic regression, we examined the likelihood that adolescents sent, received, or nonconsensually shared nude photos without consent. Semirecursive modelling allowed us to explore how outcomes related to sending/receiving nudes (images/videos of body parts that appear without consent), or having own nudes shared without consent vary over time.

Nude selfies can be both an expression of confidence or vulnerability; while some teens may have been told by police or parents not to take nude pictures, others view taking nude photos as part of their sex lives and an integral way of connecting with friends.
