sexting!

[toxic.kiss]

I wasn't allowed to text until I was 18 and started paying for my own phone bill. I'm really thankful that my mom was so strict about it, because it probably saved my rep. hardcore.

the thing with sexting is tht theres no trust
1 girls sends it 2 a guy then he sends it 2 his friends then they send it 2 their frinds and so on
this 1 girl had sum pictures of herslf naked and it got in almost every country in the world
its even online so they sent it on email so it pretty much got everywhere
so if any1 reads this dont do it u can end up gettin hurt real bad bcuz tht wuz my best friend tht happened 2 she is ashamed but she cant do anything about it bcuz its everywhere
so dont do it

Many people should understand to respect the child and chat with the child. So that you can understand whats going on with him. If you just talk to the child you might get more information from them. then therefore, understanding what and why is the child doing this.

I don't understand the law which states you can't "sext" (it is called "sexting" after all) until you're 18, although you can have sex at 16. Could someone please explain the law (I'm not really bothered about this "sexting" though)

I guess one of the problems with sexting and minors has a lot to do with the fact that it is basically pornography (mainly and specifically the photos of themselves) and it is an endangerment to themselves.
That being said, that's like saying it's illegal to have sex under 18... would people listen? No. I honestly this it's a little over-reactive because we cannot control the youth in what they do. And parents could always monitor, but kids can always delete...

Private. After being bounced and wired and microwaved all over the place. Right.

I'm glad that my kids are adults.... They graduated in the mid and late 90's Kids have way to much temptation with the internet and porn and they are learning about sex wat to early... kids are kids... we used to experiment with smoking... maybe playing touchy feely.. these kids are having sex at 12... I'm glad I don't have kids now... IMO

LOL "these kids are having sex at 12"

If the choice is between sex, drink or drugs - Let them have sex!

Sexting is a pretty scary thing, because texting has replaced pretty much every other form of communication. The younger teens especially find texting useful as a communication medium because it allows them the same sort of shelter instant messaging was for my generation (mid-twenties). You can take on a different persona and be reckless and "sexy" as you'd like. The fact that there is intervention that extends to arrest is a bit extreme, as a lot of this could be prevented simply by education. As new issues arise, new information needs to be given; it may not be a horrid idea to include a lecture or activities demonstrating the effects of sexting in health classes. It just needs to be brought to their attention that pretty much everything they do is recorded somewhere forever. Even our Google searches are archived, as I found out through this article. Please excuse the religious nature of the site, I stumbled on it through my Google Reader suggestions, regardless of my Fashion-heavy content -_-. I guess even Google isn't perfect!
