Girl, 16, Poses Nude on Magazine Cover :((

Source : www.Kompas.com


A 16-year-old girl has made a controversial start to her modelling career, posing nude for the cover of a surfing magazine.

With only strategically placed limbs barely covering her modesty, Ella Rose Corby, of Kingscliff in northern New South Wales, has appeared naked on the cover of Stab.

The move has been criticised in both modelling circles and in Miss Corby's home town, with local MP Justine Elliot labelling it "inappropriate."

But the magazine, which is known for its edginess and celebration of parties and sex, has defended the decision, claiming "the lines were blurred" and teenage girls like Miss Corby - who won the shoot in a modelling competition - were "moving into womanhood and they know it".

“You can leer at the 16-year-old as you would an adult woman, so long as you’re ignorant," Stab writer Mike Jennings said. “Once you become aware of their age you must look away.”


SO what do you think? It's a magz cover..OMG.. well the mags itself is about sex and the others..so..

 

She doesn't look any younger than the other models. And she isn't really nude, so I don't see the whole deal.

Here is an article (with images, so don't click if you don't want to see them).

Jessica Biel was fully topless when 17 in Stuff Magazine.

 

yes, but she still in high school and she got the bullied because of that cover..
But I look her model, It's an 'art'

 

Many 18 year olds (in the US at least) are still in High School. About half of the students turn 18 their senior year of high school.

 

Kids should be kids as long as they can, and not grow up any faster than they have to. Youthful innocence is a Good Thing™.

 

Thanks for the proper link Tirith.If it was someone with something worth seeing,then I may get excited LOL.

 

Kids are treated as kids for too long. It takes 18 years for students in the US to get a laughable education. They don't need to be babied that long. K-12 is a babysitting service, a joke. Real education doesn't start until College/University level. There is no reason children need to be babied for so long. 18 years is a quarter of your average life span. That's a lot of time wasted doing nothing. They need to consolidate K-12, educating children quicker, getting them ready for life sooner.

 

Regardless of how much education they have, that time is most important in terms of mental development. Too many kids think they're ready to be an adult out in the big bad world when they're not, which just leads to countless other social problems. [1]

Perhaps the process does take too long; perhaps it isn't working at all. However, I'm of the opinion that there's plenty of time to be an adult when you actually are one.

As I said, youthful innocence is a Good Thing™. I have cynicism enough for several small countries, and that's not exactly beneficial to society.

 

The main reason they aren't ready for it is due to the lack of preparation they are given during their early life. This is part of the whole "K-12" babysitting thing. If children were properly prepared, there is no reason they couldn't be ready to be productive members of society at 15 rather than 18. Right now they are babied until they are 18, then thrown out to college to have two to four years (usually) to prepare for real life.

 

The hard part is "properly preparing" them, which is more of a parental duty than an educational one. It's the same as the difference between knowledge and understanding.

 

First off, about the cover, i see no reason to criticize it, i mean, nowadays you see 25 year old women in that pose with no clothes in magazines, and most of the clothes women(in any age, even the younger ones) wear arent that far away from being nude, and so she's 16... before, one would only be considered overaged after 25(if i'm not mistaken), then it was lowered to 21, then to 18... obviously 16 is the next step, and like TirithRR said, children need to be educated quicker, and get ready for life sooner.

Teens seem to be getting worse every generation... They're still being educated at a slow rate, compared to the rate at which they learn about "adult stuff". We're brought up to be adults at 18 years of age(or 21 depending on where you live), but the world around us, whether we want it or not, makes us grow up faster, and without adjusting the system we're just gon'na get screwed up, but unfortunatedly, the system isn't accordingly adjusted because those in charge still live in the past, and refuse to accept that the world is changing.

 

Reminds me of the one night at a Hotel in South Carolina me and my coworker's were sitting outside by the pool drinking. Across the way, a woman walked out of the door in a two piece skimpy bikini with a young child. We all checked her out, nice body, etc.

She walked closer to the pool, the young boy following. As she got under the lights and we got a better look at her, she must have been 14 years old max. The boy with her was her younger brother. The old man sitting in the chair across the pool was her father. So here we were, four men 25-35 years old, staring at what turned out to be a 14 year old girl while her 45ish father watched... we felt kind of dirty.

It all boils down to physical features. Regardless of age, the features that are attractive on a 25 year old woman are still attractive on a 15 year old. The only reason it's wrong to like them on the 15 year old is because in today's modern societies, humans are treated as babies for way too long. It wasn't that way before, and it isn't that way in less developed countries. And the developed countries view the other countries as immoral and wrong just because they still think of that 15 year old as a baby. But in reality that 15 year old in the less developed country, while not being educated formally as much, has been prepared much quicker for life.

This preparation is something that modern society has taken away from humans, as a side effect of how easy and lazy it has made us.

 

I missed the part that said that proffering opinions on the internet, the last bastion of hope for free speech, is bad.

"Political correctness and conforming to the rules" here is irrelevant; 16 is the age of consent here in Australia and most of the rest of the world, including the US. Nonetheless, the girl may think she's grown up and ready to be seen as an adult, but if she's not then she'll have made an idiotic mistake that could have serious repercussions for the rest of her life (again, this Bash quote is a good example of what I'm getting at). And yes, that is her business and her problem, but if I were a parent I certainly wouldn't want to take that risk with my kids.

 

Honestly, the only comment I have for this is that she's cute.

She should probably stop letting people draw on her though.

 

I'd draw all over her, if you know what I mean.

 

agree completely with Seph.
I think we need not be the moral police here, simply because of the fact that she's "underage" and posing nude. If she does it with consent (and god forbid her parents let her) then so be it.

 

@koyu-chan: Things like that would be very controversial in our country wouldn't it?
even 2012 were 'declined' by muslims extremist. . . (no offence to muslims tough)

 

yes in my country this thing is soooooo a huge problem but they still make the porn movies or porn things...secretly,,=,=
But I was surprised that she's still 16,,I know in other country it isn't a big problem but as a girl, does it okay if you just show off your body like that? well.. I can't find another words
err,, respect your body,girls..

 

There is far worse than this dear...

There was a debate about "art" in australia, if I recall some artist had an exibition that had a 12yr posing nude...

The gallery was closed and police seized the art works-the girl gave consent but people did complain (some aussies just dislike anything not legal)...and thus the war between what is and what isn't art had begun once more.

Some of the movies I watch have 16yr's going at it...though the actors are 18 up they are depicted as 16....



And there is child pornography rings about, some still running...not many would however give consent for this thing.

Or would even know what the hell it going on.
