Sexting is when you send a sexually explicit photo,video or text message.Alot of teens around my age do it,I haven't really heard of it until recently I didn't think anything of it.I know that alot of teens and young adults aren't mature by nature and don't think of consequences constantly but I've been thinking does that mean that they'll be another Dr.Phil episode(if there wasn't already) about what parents need to do to stop this..Maybe parents should monitor that,but for me the bigger question is why on earth would someone ever send something sexually suggestive over the phone? I deffinetly wouldn't,there are so many ways that it could become public,a guy/girl shows it to all of his/her friends,parents could find it,I mean come on it's really not worth the risk.Besides the embarrassment factor of everyone seeing a "sext" there are legal issues with sending them,in Florida, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania teens have faced charges your naked pictures.I know that being young there is this certain sense of being invincible,like nothing can touch us.They don't think "what if this ends up online and my boss sees it?".But even worse than that it can lead to death,two girls hanged themselves after being taunted by thes "sexts" becoming public.Obviously "sextining" is the new thing that has caught the attention of people in my age group and isn't going away anytime soon unfortunetly,but I really hope because it has gotten out of hand it'll make people think twice about sending a message of any kind that they don't want getting out.
