Is it still illegal to have underage pornography if you yourself are underage?

It's illegal for you to have any pornography, so yes.

To confirm, yes. It is illegal for *anyone*. Although... I was thinking about your question and I thought, is it illegal if it is pictures of yourself (if you're under aged) or does it only become illegal when you give them to someone else?

Also, what is so bad, besides teaching children about sex, that makes porn illegal for minors?

Its mostly a morality issue. I see nothing wrong with a 16 year old looking at porn (I'm assuming thats about your age) However a 5 year old looking a porn is a bit off to me.

Child porn is a different issue as it can be scaring for the child.

Its illegal for you to look at porn. But having a picture of yourself isnt illegal, I mean you see yourself naked constantly. So as long as you didnt sell that picture its no problem.
