'Camwhoring' puts more teens at risk of exposure
By Jessica Lim
A NATIONAL University of Singapore (NUS) undergrad has become the latest victim of an increasingly common trend: Teens and young adults who take pictures of themselves having sex or in other compromising poses, or allow others to do so.
Photographs of the undergrad having sex and in explicit poses have wound up on a United States-based website notorious for putting up pictures of naked or scantily clad women.
In this case, it is not known how the pictures were obtained, but word of them has spread quickly among Singaporeans, and online forums and blogs are now abuzz with references to them.
Don't upload every photo you take

You take pictures of your room, your house, your dog, your computer, your parents and even the neighbours. Then you put them all into carefully sorted galleries and put them all on your blog.
They might be a treat for friends wanting to catch up with you, but when pieced together, these pictures can also reveal a lot about your life.
Just the other week I figured out where my new online friend worked and lived, simply because she photo-blogged every picture she took with her handy mobile phone.
The bottom line: Don't want an online - or scarier, offline - stalker? Quit being a camwhore and stop posting those pictures online. If you still insist on doing so, make sure you check the back seat the next time you take the car out for a spin.
