Internet Safety For Teenagers: Talking To Your Child About sexting

By: vandeuren Home | Communications


The story goes like this. There was one 13 years old girl, who had a new boyfriend. Every thing was great for the first 6 weeks - he was the perfect sweetheart. But then he started pressing this young girl to have sex with him and also to send him nude photos. After another 6 weeks of saying NO this young girl gave in and sent a photo. As you would suspect, it wasn't too much longer they broke up and the young boy began going out with her best friend whom she had a fight with and soon everyone knew about the pictures. The entire school was talking about the incident and calling her a whore. The police arrived, and both the boy and the girl were in danger of charged with holding child pornography. Charges weren't filed, but such a horrible experience for an otherwise good girl. All of the was going on and the parents were all unaware. Internet Safety Sexting
