In creepster news, Newton middle schoolers are exchanging naughty pictures via cell phone, perhaps indicating that those (anti-)sexting seminars should swing by Newton sometime soon. The sexting took place off campus, so most of what the school can do relates to education such as that offered by the aforementioned seminars. One survey suggests that about 20% of teenagers have sent suggestive photos of themselves to others, apparently without first thinking about the possibility of said others sharing said photos with everyone on the internet or in the world. We're not sure if the pictures in question are actually of squid or humans, or if a code 9 was called by the students involved. Notwithstanding this Bostonist's inherent inability to look suggestive (of anything other than great annoyance), she can only comment that she was far more worried about puffy paint sweatshirts and unicorns than about suggestive poses in middle school, and that's how it should be for all youngsters. But admittedly that was before Google came along and corrupted us all. Damn you, technology! Damn you!
