Sexting, a combination of sex and texting, involves sending sexually explicit messages or images electronically, often via cell phones. Research highlights that a significant percentage of teens engage in sexting, with 71% of girls and 67% of boys having shared suggestive content with their partners. Many teens, like a 14-year-old girl, view sexting as a private act, trusting their partners. However, this trust can lead to unintended consequences, as the content may be shared beyond their control. It's essential to address the risks and realities of sexting in today's technology-driven world.
