S.E.X.T.I.N.G

Sexting is the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photos electronically, by using cell phones. Sexting is known everywhere around the world and everyone is doing it. But many may not know that you may be sent to jail or prison for child pornography. Teenagers are using this as a way to flirt and "have fun". Although teens may send a picture to a boyfriend or girlfriend, the photos usually get shared. Meaning anyone around you may have this photo, which isn't something that anyone would want. Also with the new technology the picture will spread automatically. I personally believe we can't blame it on technology, its the teenagers decision to do this. The star from the hit movie "High School Musical", Vanessa Anne Hudgens was also accused of this wrong doing. The National Campaign to Prevent Teen & Unplanned Pregnancy, a private nonprofit group whose mission is to protect children, and CosmoGirl.com, surveyed nearly 1,300 teens about sex and technology. The result was that 1 in 5 teens say they've sexted even though the majority know it could be a crime. This trend is sweeping the nation. Also below I provided a video that appeared on the "Tyra Show" that showcases teens talking about sexting , and how it revolves in their lives. SO ENJOY !!!
