Re: Did anyone hear TOTN "sexting" discussion today?
The sexting is right up there with any other form of exploitation.
I didn't have a cell until I moved to CA (age 20) but my sister received hers when she was 15.
I remember telling her when she was really young that she should never do anything that could be replicated or had a paper trail that she didn't want people to know about or see.
Notes, e-mails, text messages, pictures.
She's been smart. But some of her classmates haven't. :/
It's hard because I do feel for the "victim" but there wouldn't be victim status if these young girls didn't provide material. Perhaps having serious talks about self-worth and value with children BEFORE puberty might help?
Self-respect saved myself and my friends from a lot of horrible things that went down as we grew up.
