  3. SEXTING • The act of sending, receiving, or forwarding sexually explicit messages, photos or images via cell phone, computer or other digital device.

  4. Scope of the Problem • 49% of individuals age 13-26 report having sent a sexually explicit message • 56% report having received at least one • Why??? • It’s fun • It’s flirting • It was a present for my boyfriend • It might help me hook up with someone I like • National Campaign to Prevent Teen and unplanned Pregnancy and Cosmogirl.com “sex and tech” survey

  5. Scope of the Problem • 22% of teen girls have electronically sent or posted nude or semi-nude images of themselves • 11% are between 13 and 16 years old !! • 51% reported they did this because of pressure from a boy • 18% of teen boys admit having sent images • 33% of young adults ages 20-26 say they have posted images of themselves

  6. Recent New Headlines • Teen put on sex offender registry for “sexting” nude photo • 18 year old mad at his girlfriend so he sent naked photos of the 16 year old to dozens of friendsCNN • Teen arrested after posting nude pics of herself on MySpace • 14 year old girl from Passaic County NJ apparently posted x-rated pictures because she wanted her boyfriend to see themAP • Teen sex video sent to students’ cell phone • An Indiana teen secretly videotaped two other teens having sex while at a party then sent the footage out to other kids. WISH TV News

  7. Recent New Headlines • Teen commits suicide after nude photo scandal • Jessie Logan ended the relationship with her boyfriend, who then sent the x-rated picture she had sent to him on to friends who forwarded it to hundreds of other students. Harassment soon followed. “They called her slut, whore, skank. They said she was trying to be a porn star,” reported one friend. • In July 2008, Jessie hanged herself in her bedroom.

  8. Legal Concerns In many states: • It is illegal for anyone to encourage, cause, coerce, or solicit a child (person under 18) to pose or be shown in a state of nudity for purposes of photographing them • It is illegal for anyone to disseminate a picture of a person under 18 in a state of nudity or engaged in a sexual act • It is illegal to knowingly possess photos of a person under 18 posed in a lewd manner

  9. Psycho-social Concerns • Sexualization of children in our society has become commonplace. • “The lines that separate the lifestyles of children from adults have blurred…children dress like mini adults • creative play is being replaced by media entertainment saturated with sex, violence and gender stereotyping • pornographic images of women and girls have been glamorized and mainstreamed through dolls, videogames and comic books • Internet porn is easily accessible and routinely viewed by preteen boys

  10. Psycho-social Concerns • Sexual experimentation is a normal part of development, but this electronic communications behavior creates a false sense of safety and distance • While it may seem fun to some teens to get or to send an erotic message, it can create emotional confusion • What is the “message” behind the message?

  11. High Risk / High Cost • Guilt • Senders often report lasting regret even if the message or images reaches only the intended recipient • Anxiety • The “what ifs” are endless • Shame • Those with low self-esteem may use sexting as a desperate means of gaining attention or fitting in with the “in” crowd • Cruelty and torment from peers can be devastating to anyone but teens are extremely vulnerable

  12. Tips for Parents • Learn about the technology • Monitor what your children are doing on the internet and with the phone • Talk to your children about appropriate behavior and set specific limits with consequences • Talk to them about relationships and the importance of their reputation • Make them aware of the lack of privacy or anonymity associated with e-mail and text messaging

  13. Tips For Teens • Once a message or photo is sent you can not take it back • The intended recipient may not react the way you expect. • A person who truly cares about you would not pressure you to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable or is illegal • Privacy may vanish if you send a naked photo. It may end up being viewed by: • Other teens • Teachers • Parents • Police • College admissions staff • Sex offenders

  14. Tips For Teens • Think about how classmates will perceive and respond to you…and what will be said behind you back • Nothing is anonymous; the photos can be traced back to you • If you receive a suggestive photo DO NOT forward it; this could be a crime • You could be charged with crimes like distributing pornography even if it’s a picture of yourself
