Sexting


Do parents really understand what tweens and teens are doing with their cell phones? Do the tweens and teens actually comprehend what it means when they send a nude photo or a photo of inappropriate behavior on their cell phone?  Once the send button is pressed, there is no erasing. At the moment, the tween or teen is consenting to send his or her photo with promises up and down from the receiver that it won’t be shared. Well, unfortunately maybe in 6 or 12 months, these promises are forgotten and the photos are shared. The internet is not just your block or community or city but it is worldwide thus worldwide web. I think this is too often forgotten and tweens and teens think it is only in their small community.
