Pornography is not something I only recently encounter, but I have not felt the need to say something about it until when some pornographic pictures appear in the blog of one teenager whom I know. Below is my first written attempt to address the issue. (I'm posting it here, recognizing that we're not immuned to this kind of temptation).

xx,
Think critically against what’s considered right by your culture, society, or friends. Just because these pictures proliferate in newspaper, magazines, internet, or even on the street -- doesn’t mean that it’s right to view/circulate them.
The name "Art of the Human Body" -- what these pictures are labelled on the internet-- is a lie! The real name is pornography.
Make no mistake. Pornographic activity, whether posting, viewing, or reading them distorts the core value of a human being and reduce it to a mere sexualized object.
"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." Proverbs 4:23
