SEXTING
What Is Sexting?
Sexting is when someone sends a sexually explicit photo or message via their cell phone or instant messenger. In most situations the intended recipient is a current boyfriend or girlfriend or a potential mate in the future.
What are the studies on sexting?
In recent studies it has shown that 75% of teens and 71% of young adults feel that sexting can have some serious negative outcomes. Of that total 39% of teens and 59% of young adults have admitted to sending or posting nude or semi nude pictures of themselves. Another study on sexting has shown 38% of teens and 46% of young adults know that the intended recipient of sexting messages or photos are shared with other people.
What are the negative outcomes?
There can be lasting regret and humiliation for the sending of such material. Also, it can damage or end a romantic relationship. It can have legal impact by having child pornography charges brought against you. Employers now use the web to check into future recruits and may find more than just your employment history online.
