    My boyfriend, Randell is like really sweet and really nice, and he's always let's me hold his phone. He's supposed to be getting me one for my birthday, but until then i'm aloud to use his when he comes down on the weekends. Well one day i was taking pictures of myself on his phone, and i wanted to send them to my e-mail, so i went threw the pics. Well i found pictures of females body parts, and so i earased them, thinking if he's with me, he shouldn't have these pics. i don't have pictures of guys in my phone. Well he tells my mom and she yells at me, saying that i'm wrong, when i really don't think i am. This is really just for the females because some of you guys might not understand where i'm coming from.

    Ok babe, first of all you are 14 years old. You honestly do not have the right to go through the pictures on someone else's phone without thier permission no matter the reason.

    Second, you do not have the right to erase any pictures. He had those pictures saved for a reason. Though it is not your place to agree with it or to understand why it is your place to leave something the way you found it.

    Right now try to relax and not worry about him. Teenagers in today's society have enough to worry about without throwing in the oppisite sex. I admitt it is not easy to be young, but why should you be in a rush to grow up?

    Just hang in there and next time you use something that does not belong to you remember to return the same way you found it. Pictures and all ... it is simple respect.

    You should have just put the phone down and minded your own business

    he had them saved for a reason.

    I don't think you were wrong.
    If he gave you the phone in your hand, that would probably mean that he didn't mind you looking through what it had. An assumption, but one that almost anyone can make.
    Secondly, if they were YOUR pictures taken without your permission, notwithstanding all the "privacy" bull, I think YOU have the right to do what you want with them, SPECIALLY if they were offensive.

    I re-read your post. Sorry, now I know those pictures were porn, not yours.
    I'd have deleted them, or went up to my girlfriend and HOLLERED at her. (I'm a guy :) )

    I've often got into trouble with this kinda privacy stuff too. And I'm not very good at saying the right things to the right people at the right time. One of the right's goes wrong usually. Lol. So don't take too much of my advice....Sherry Lynn's advice is politically very correct, something you need in today's world.

    You were totally right. a guy whos with u shouldnt have pics of girls like that. actually, even if he wasnt, i think its disrespectful to girls. u had every rite 2 see them, and if he didn't want u 2 he shouldn't have let u use his phone. i can't believe ur mom sided against u - does she believe in porn or something? and why would your bf tell her anyway?? just ignore them.
