Sexting is a growing problem that both parents and schools need to be made aware of because these sex texts are a growing form of bullying.
According to a study done by the charity Beatbullying,
“More than a third of under-18s have been sent offensive or distressing sexual images electronically.”
Beatbullying’s chief executive, Emma-Jane Cross, said
“new technology was facilitating sexual contact between teenagers and that this needed to be addressed. We don’t want to inhibit young people in their exploration of sexuality, but it is important that parents and schools are aware that ’sexting’ is a significant issue among our children and young people, so together we can act to stop this kind of behaviour before it escalates into something far more problematic.”
