7 Disturbing Realities About Teen ‘Sexting’ Trend

In this month’s Atlantic magazine, the cover story on “Why Kids Sext” visited a high school of 1,450, where students surveyed said they believe anywhere from 60-80 percent of their classmates sext. Some of the more significant excerpts include:

• “The speed in which teens have incorporated the practice of sharing naked pictures of themselves into their mating rituals has taken society by surprise.”

• “This is my life and my body, and I can do whatever I want with it!” declared one girl.

• In another high school surveyed, 28 percent of sophomores and juniors said they sent naked pictures of themselves and 31 percent asked someone to send them one.

• The act of sending sexually explicit material through mobile phones does not just entail bikinis and scantily-clad girls.

“Is This Really Just Harmless Activity for Young People—A Playful Stage to Pass Through?”

Last year, Audrey Pott, a curvy sophomore at Saratoga High School in California, wore a low-cut top and a miniskirt to school and got sexually explicit messages on Facebook.

What’s amazing to consider is what publication probably did the longest feature on this incident—none other than Rolling Stone magazine! The herald of hedonism that celebrates drugs, booze, rebellion and “anything goes,” as well as regularly features pictures of “cool” celebrities smoking dope, tells the story in all its gory details.

In Virginia a 13-year-old girl posted her naked picture on meet16.com and had grown men show up at her house.

Guys have learned to manipulate by threatening to send out naked pictures from their girlfriends unless given the sexual favors they demand.
