Sexting is the new social problem facing the world. With modern technology, the social issues change as well and sexting seems to be a similar phenomenon.
Sexting is sending of sexually explicit photographs via text messages. Teenagers, both girls and boys are falling for it immensely. It is leading to premature sexualisation of kids and can lead to sexually transmitted diseases. Thus, another social problem is on rise.
A latest development is that the kids are circulating nude pictures of themselves or their friends to others. School staff in Britain and other countries are worried that their students are going to get into trouble and it is time some action is taken regarding sexting.
According to a research in Britain, 4 out of every 10 kids aged 11 to 16 know that sexting takes place in their schools. Half of these children take part in sexting themselves although they know that their pictures will be circulated around. A research conducted in Plymouth University showed that 40% of teenagers don't consider topless pictures of young girls to be inappropriate either.
Adults feel it is the overall exposure to pornography on the internet that is leading to such behavioral change amongst the kids. Academicians also suggest a law should be made against sexting and teenagers should be tried in the court of law if they possesses explicit images of minors just like an adult is treated.
Well, till a few days back I thought only Britney Spears was involved in sexting but see how technology is leading to other social issues. I really don't know how a check is done on these things and modern technologies. But even when things like video chat and skype were introduced people all over the world irrespective of age, gender and religious beliefs got involved in cyber sex and much more. Indeed, it is not nice that kids are getting involved in these things that they cannot really handle well. It is not just sex and the diseases that will be caused but it will also lead to disturbing many kids mentally for the longest time and by the time they will realize what they did when they were 14 was wrong, they would have spend half of their lives.
