According to a recent studies suggest that teens sexting amongst other teens may not be as common as many people think. The first study was done by the university of new Hampshire crimes against children surveyed over 1,500 kids between the ages of 10 and 17 by phone. asking them if they have participated in creating, sending or delivering sexually explicit images or videos either through their mobile phones or the Internet.
however the other study revealed that only 2.5 percent of young people surveyed have participated in some sort of sexting activity in the past year, but only 1 percent admitted activity that included material considered child pornography meaning images or videos that featured naked genitals, breasts or buttocks. furthermore the percentage goes up since some young people sext these images to there suppose faithful partner. while the other percentage comes from taking these pictures for your self and having someone send them out for everyone eyes and the world to see.
Personally sexting is a waste of time because by the end of the day your more worried about where , who, why, you sent this picture. also to have so much regret about the picture since they took the risk of sending it to a stranger. the picture is a cycle because once you send it , its sent to another then another person & on. these things can be prevented by talking more freely and openly with your teens well kids and take instant picture mail of of their cell phones and other electronic devices. by more parents doing this their would be less of the embarsement kids go throw if the wrong person got their hands on those explicted images.
