Internet & Anti-Social Behavior

Quote:"A disturbing trend called "sexting," sending or receiving sexually explicit pictures, suggests that teens, while socially active online, are not aware of the potential negative repercussions of sharing too much intimate detail of any kind, about themselves."


Response:
"Parents should take into their own hands and explaining to their children what is appropriate and what isn’t appropriate for them to do. Or even schools should have an assembly with students every year or every half of the year to show students the dangers of sexting. Teens are not fully aware of what the dangers of sexting are or why they shouldn’t do it. Some one needs to make them aware of all the dangers of it. I know in my high school career that no one ever informed the students why they shouldn’t sext to other people."

    I agree that this is an issue that needs to be adressed. Just because a girl sends a picture to her boyfriend does not mean he is the only one that sees it.

    I agree Sarah. Students aren't always informed about the negative affects of sexting. It is the jobs of the adults to inform the teens what the consequences could be. Good job :))
