Here’s your stern and serious reminder that no matter what tumblr tries to tell you, if you are under the age of eighteen, you absolutely cannot take nudes of yourself. You can’t even take them and keep them on your phone. It counts as child porn. You could be arrested. Anyone you send them to could be arrested. Your parents could be arrested if they’re the ones paying for the phone. I don’t care how many people try to make it seem like body positivity.
It has nothing to do with body positivity.
It’s a felony.
Don’t do it.
I looked this up, just to get a source on it.
“Though their laws were created to protect minors from exploitation caused by others, states are prosecuting minors under child pornography statutes for sending nude or otherwise lurid self-portraits, even when the minors sent the selfies without coercion. The common quirk in the laws is that there is no exception for taking or distributing sexually explicit pictures of oneself. Thus, a high school student sending a racy seflie to a boyfriend or girlfriend could subject both themselves and the receiver to prosecution for child pornography. If the picture makes its way around other social circles through online or direct sharing, anyone who received or distributed the photo could also find themselves open to charges.”

The OP is 100% correct. If you are under 18, any nude picture of you–even selfies–counts as child porn.
Don’t do it.
every time stuff like this comes around, i feel the need to mention that one reason police don’t just ignore this is because arresting teens for their risque selfies is easier than catching a child porn distributor or a rapist or a molester. cops who focus on sex crimes need to make arrests and convictions, and they’ll ruin the lives of teenagers to do it.
THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY CONCERN FOR YOUR WELLBEING. they have to make arrests, and because there’s a ridiculous backlog of rape kits and victim-shaming that prevents them from arresting actually violent criminals so they have to make up for that somehow and if they have to hurt you to do it then they will.
