One of our listeners, Peter, recently got in touch with us to share his concern that his 14 year old daughter had been pressured to send nude pictures to a friend.
He wanted to know if other parents knew that this was going on. Peter shared his story on the show today.
But, we wanted to know more about it.
So, to find out why teenagers are doing this we spoke to Mark Smyth, clinical psychologist.
Dr. Caroline West, sex educator and host of Glow West podcast, also joined us and said these nude pictures are used as social currency in some circles.
