MY TAKE ON WHY YOUNG PEOPLE ARE POSTING NUDITY OR WANTING TO BE FAMOUS (IN ZAMBIA 🇿🇲)
Young people in Zambia, like many other places, are exposed to various factors that may lead them to share n**e photos or videos. One significant factor is the influence of social media and the internet. With the rise of smartphones and social media platforms, it's become easier for young people to create and share content, including explicit images and videos ¹.
Another factor is peer pressure and the desire for acceptance and validation. Some young people may feel pressured to share n**e photos or videos to fit in with their peers or to gain attention from others ². Additionally, the lack of education and awareness about the risks and consequences of sharing explicit content can contribute to this behavior.
Furthermore, exposure to po*******hy and other explicit content can also play a role. A study by the National Action for Quality Education in Zambia found that exposure to pornographic content through smartphones is a contributing factor to the high number of so**my cases in boarding schools ³.
It's also worth noting that some young people may be coerced or manipulated into sharing explicit content, which can have serious consequences for their mental health and well-being ¹.
Overall, addressing this issue requires a comprehensive approach that involves education, awareness, and support for young people, as well as efforts to promote healthy online behaviors and respect for others' boundaries.
