Is Your Teen Using Apps to Keep Secrets
- Can parents fully put their trust in their children anymore
- Studies show that sexting performed by teenagers is more common than often suggested
- However, sexters are normally not considered the typical stereotypes that take drugs or excessively drink or smoke.
- More than half the undergraduate students who took part in an anonymous online survey said they sent sexually suggestive texts when they were teenagers, according to the study by Drexel University, which was published last year by the Journal of Sexuality Research and Social Policy.
- Nearly 30% said they included photos in their sexts, and an astonishing 61% did not know that sending nude photos via text could be considered child pornography.
- Another study, this one by the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, found that while students who admitted sexting were 32% more likely to report having sex the next year, sexting by teenagers was not linked to risky sexual behavior over time.
- It is interesting in the fact that it seems as though in certain areas that sexting has been considered normal to some
- However, it is common in many people suffering because of bullying or are depressed greatly
- Parents state that they are checking their children's phone but cannot seem to find it. Unfortunately this is due to the fact of Snapchat, Cyber Dust, VaporChat and others allow users to send messages that disappear on both the sender and recipient's phones after a certain period of time.
- Unfortunately young adults such as students do not know that sexting is considered a felony and can be considered child pornography.
- It is not fully the faulting of the parent if they do not tell the consequences but really the fact that young adults are not interested in listening to repercussions
- The only solution it seems is to have a full discussion of the negative effects of sexting and if necessary educators on the specified subject to come and also explain the negativity of sexting
