What is Sexting? Is it okay for adults or teens?What is sexting? What can go wrong if you send text messages or a picture message of a private nature? Unfortunately, many people don't think about these questions or the answers to them before pressing the “send” button, adults and teens included. Just about anything you send or receive via cell phone or PDA (personal digital assistant) can be retrieved. That being said, “What is sexting"? This is when you send an explicit note to someone else. Usually the person you are sending it to is a boyfriend/girlfriend or your husband/wife. It contains a racy, provocative message of a sexual nature. In short, it is dirty talk sent electronically.
Sometimes sexual texting also includes a picture message. This is not the normal everyday picture of you posing fully clothed in front of mirror. No, these pictures contain very little clothing or no clothing at all! What's wrong with that, you might ask?Even though you intend for these very intimate, private, seductive messages to be seen by your partner only, that may not always be the case. There are many different ways for these communications to end up in someone else's hands. Has your cell phone ever been lost or stolen? Has someone you know ever went through your phone with your permission? Have you ever thought about what happens when you send text messages, or a picture message to your partner, but at some point you and the guy break up? Do you really trust that person enough to know, beyond a shadow of doubt, that they would never do anything with the communications you've shared together that may harm you? Are you a Parent of a Teen Sexting Pictures or Messages?If you are a parent of a teen boy or girl that is sexting pictures or messages to others this is not a situation to be ignored. Many times children do not understand or see all of the possible outcomes that can happen when they send an inappropriate text. Many of them believe that it is okay because so many of their friends are doing it.You should sit them down and have an open conversation with them. Let them know why it is not a good idea and why it has to stop. Try to educate them on the dangers they are opening themselves up to. Once you send something by email, cell phone, pda/blackberry, aim, yahoo messenger, chat rooms, and etc., there is no telling who will get there hands on it or what they will do with it.
