Have you heard? Sexting?
I had never heard the term sexting but the name kind of gives it away as to exactly what it involves. In my mind, it was basically sending and receiving text messages that were lucid in nature. I mean, how much worse could it be. Well, let me tell you, it is much worse. Our children, mine, yours, lots of children out there are taking part of sexting.
So, you give? What is sexting? Sexting is a way for children, teenagers, whatever the age to take a photo of themselves with their phone and then send it to their friends in a text message. Oh, wait, the important part, this is a picture of them NAKED. Oh my stars!
Can you imagine? I can’t imagine sending someone a photo of me nude when I had a good body and that was well after I was past the teenage years. I had such a poor body image that there was no way I was letting anyone see me naked and I certainly wasn’t sharing with the world.
Think about it, one text message with a nude photo attached and within 24 hours, an entire school, or an entire town (if you live in a town as small as I do) would have you right there on their phone…naked…naked as a jay bird!
I only have a couple of things left to say on this matter…1. Child Pornography and 2. see number 1 and know that it is a CRIME!
Please!
