Parents are aware of how much teens are enthralled
with texting so why are there so many parents in denial that their own teen
maybe sexting other teens? I hear all the time, “Oh my child would never do
that.” Well with all the latest statistics about teens’ sexting and how curious
they are about sex, to put it mildly, it is common sense to monitor text
messages.
Teens view sexting as a modern version of cybersex
or phone sex. A recent study in Pediatrics
found out of 1560 kids between the ages of 10 to 17 years old that 9.6 %
admitted to appearing, creating or receiving a sexual suggestive image. So with
kids’ curiosity getting the best of them on their cell phones, don’t you think text
message monitoring is an important habit for parents to get into?
