5. I’ve shown my friends a naked pic of my boyfriend. Was it illegal for me to do that? 0 It’s against the law to have naked pictures or videos of someone under 18, that includes taking the photo, sending it on, or keeping any naked images you’ve been sent. 0 The law is like this to protect young people from adults who sexually abuse them and take photos or videos of the abuse. But even if it’s a picture which your boyfriend or girlfriend has taken, it is against the law, and you definitely shouldn’t share naked or indecent pictures of anyone without their consent. 0 Although you probably wouldn’t get in trouble with the police, you could cause your boyfriend or girlfriend serious distress and get yourself in serious trouble at school. Remember, if you threaten or pressure anyone to share naked pictures with you then you could get in trouble with the police. 0 You should delete any pictures you have on your mobile or computer and ask anyone you’ve shared these pictures with to do the same.

6. Selfies: the naked truth 0 Taking selfies is so popular even politicians and priests are doing it!politicianspriests 0 There’s nothing wrong with a few snaps of your smile but what about a bit more? 0 Imagine it's late. You're chatting online, and things are getting hot. A topless pic appears on your screen. You could send back a selfie. What’ll it be? Head and shoulders or something more revealing? 0 WAIT. You can send something in an instant, but think - why am I doing this? 0 Do you feel under pressure because they’ve sent you one? Would you take your clothes off if you were face to face? Are you doing it for you, or for them?

7. It’s only a picture – what’s the problem? 0 Nudes, sexts, fanpics - whatever you call them - taking pics of your bits and sending them to someone else is never a good idea. Whether it’s to your boyfriend or girlfriend or someone you’ve met online, a quick snap can have long term consequences.

8. Think before you strip! Before you send that picture ask yourself these questions. Why am I doing it? Are there other, less permanent ways, of showing your boyfriend or girlfriend that you care? Do you feel under pressure to send one? Ask – am I doing this for me, or for them? Your body is yours, and you choose what you do with it. Someone who really cares about you won’t put you under pressure. What if I don’t do it? Think about the consequences of not sending the picture? Are they worse than what could happen if you do send it? Do you think the other person will think less of you? If they care about you they shouldn’t put you under any pressure. Would I do it face to face? If you’re in a relationship you might not feel ready to start having sex. If you don’t, are you really ready to share sexy pictures?

Shortly before she killed herself, she made a YouTube video describing the bullying she had suffered both in school and after school that had driven her to abuse drugs and alcohol, and self-harm –and which would, ultimately, result in her suicide. She described boys tormenting her, and girls beating her so severely that, when they were done, she simply lay in a ditch until her father found her.

24. Someone keeps asking me to send them naked pictures. I want to be friends still, but I want them to stop asking – what can I say? If it’s a friend you know very well they should understand that you’re not happy about doing this. If they keep asking anyway then maybe they aren’t as good a friend as you thought after all. If it’s someone you’ve never met face-to-face then it’s safer to ignore them or block them. If you’re worried about why they’re asking for images or they’re making you feel uncomfortable then you can report them to CEOP.CEOP
