The older the teens get the larger the percentage gets, and the study shows that boys and girls are equally as likely to "sext".

Not only is there such a thing, but children have already been prosecuted for sending nude pix/video of themselves and put on the Sexual Offenders Registry for the rest of their lives.
Good luck to them getting a job while on that list...

And people laugh at me when I say the U.S. is close to outlawing sex. Sexual Offenders for sending pictures of THEMSELVES? God, we have some screwed up laws.

I call bs, they wouldn't be tried as adults for that and only adults can be on that list. Sex offenders can also get jobs almost anywhere just minus schools and such

I would have to agree with you on that one.
Show your kids this article and see if they will continue sexting if the phone companies can access and see your messages.
ohh how your perception would change in continuing to do soo..
However it could add more of a thrill and a taboo to the whole thing.

These kids need to start sending BS messages to screw with the Nazis monitoring their phones...stuff like, "I know, can you believe that they are going to shoot the principal durring the assembly"
IF they do that enough, the pigs will realize that the information is all crap, and they will stop invading everyone's privacy.

I agree who cares if some stranger is getting off to your sexts hahaha. but seriously this was a study where they asked people not read all these text. If they are then they would have to read through 4.1 billion texts everyday! That is not possible.
