Welcome to Gaia! ::

I took the quiz twice, but I don't see my results... sad

Ah, ok. I just did it again with the low-bandwidth, and that worked. I got 83%.

I think the idea behind this quiz is good. Because it's good for people, especially kids and teens, to understand that they can't trust everyone and that things posted online may be seen by pretty much everyone.

But I don't like that the quiz tells me my opinion is wrong and assumes that I am under 18. xp

For example, this question:

You're thinking about sending a nude pic of yourself to a guy you hooked up with. What's the worst thing that can happen?

* A. he thinks you look fat and decides he's not into you.
* B. he shares it even though you told him not to, and it ends up all over Facebook/MySpace, where your dad sees it... Aaaaaagh!
* C. you get arrested for production and/or distribution of child porn because you're under 18.

I picked A. To me, that is the worst that could happen. Because I really don't care if my n***s get shared (if I did care I would not have shared them in the first place), and I'm not afraid of getting hit with child porn charges since I'm well over 18 and don't fool around with guys who are under 18. So I really don't see B or C being an issue, but it's telling me that I should have thought C was the biggest issue... Oh well. xp

I think I was like 19 when I got my first cell phone. And I don't think it could even take pictures. lol I got my webcam when I was about 21. So I didn't share any n***s before then. wink

I took the quiz three times. The first time I got a 63% and then I took it again, changing only one answer (the question Lorien posted, actually) and I got an 89%. The third time, I took the guys' version (what? I was curious). The questions and answers are worded slightly differently but are basically the same and I got a 33%.

I see the point of the website, but that quiz is a little messed up.

I don't really see any issues with sexting if someone is over eighteen. I guess that's why the quiz is only for minors (I haven't looked at the quiz yet, just going by what people have said here). If someone is legal it's their choice what they decide to do sexually. I was seventeen when I got my first cell phone and it didn't have a camera on it, and I wouldn't have sent pics like that to anyone at that age anyway. I think I was nineteen the first time I sent nude pics to my boyfriend (through the computer, not the phone) and I was sorry I did because he apparently showed one to one other guy. I was lucky it didn't get spread around. I learned my lesson from that and now my boyfriend doesn't get to have any pictures like that of me, he can see me in person and that's it. I don't know if sexting includes things like "cybering" through text messages, but I think that is the extent of what I would do, and only with my boyfriend. I wouldn't take any pictures since I don't want anyone else to end up seeing them. If someone sees a naughty text message from me, it isn't going to bother me a whole lot, but a picture is different.

I got 33%.

I was only being honest emo

I suck

Alright, took the test out of curiosity, scored 67% on both the female and male version of the test. It's definitely meant for high schoolers. A lot of the answers on the test don't even apply to me, stuff like not showing up at school, telling teachers or parents that you're being harassed, getting in trouble over nude pics being underage, etc. So I didn't pick any answers that didn't apply to me as someone in their twenties and they were probably wrong. Also things like looking at someone's text messages on their phone are probably considered "wrong" but in my relationship, neither of us really care if the other looks at their phone. I have nothing to hide, my boyfriend is welcome to read my texts, look at my pictures, etc. We leave our phones sitting around wherever and it's not like a privacy issue or anything, since we don't really care if we see what's on each other's phones. I guess it just depends on what kind of relationship you have and how you feel about what should be private.

Something interesting I noticed about the test, anything involving nude pics, on the female version it was always about sending them out and on the male version it was always about receiving them. Females are never asked about receiving and males are never asked about sending which I find kind of dumb, because it isn't always that way around. I have a female friend and male friend who have mutual interest in each other, and the male once texted a pic to the female friend (both are legal age so I see nothing wrong with it). Just saying that I know guys send out pics too, it isn't always just the girls. My boyfriend used to email me pics as well, before I decided to quit exchanging those kinds of pics with him.
