Sexting Effect

In the US today Americans recently discovered an emerging trend known as adolescent sexting. Sexting has been defined as the sending or receiving of sexually explicit or sexually suggestive images, messages, or video through a cellphone or the Internet; sexting can also be referred to as sending nudes. As Guidance Counselors at a High School it is imperative that we educate ourselves and our students on the consequences sexting may have. Many students fail to realize that once the photos or messages are sent there is no turning back. Those images/messages may be forwarded to audiences via the internet and various social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat etc. causing humiliation, depression and in some cases even causing suicide.

Sexting has been all over the news. Of course its normal for someone to want to send a naughty picture to the significant other, but now we have teens (and even pre-teens) sending nude pictures to get attention from someone of the opposite sex. The pictures usually end up all over the teens school. We live in a new day and age, but most adults would be mortified if a nude picture of them was seen by someone that wasn’t

Last week, a seventh grade girl approached administration about an issue concerning Clark. The young lady told administration that Clark had been taking pictures of himself and texting her offensive language. She

Kathryn Baker was caught on her Gmail account during 3rd period emailing a friend off campus. When I walked up she closed out. I asked her to reopen it. She stated she was emailing her teacher. I asked her again to open it and she did so, but she scrolled through. I had to direct her to show me what I was asking for. When she opened it up she was having a general conversation with another student not on this campus, and the email contained profanity. I informed her that was unacceptable and she was not to do that again. Kathryn said okay, and then replied to the person as I was standing beside her. This behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. If Kathryn cannot follow the classroom guidelines she will lose her computer privileges.

This could lead to serious embarrassment for the person in the photo. While it is likely not a conversation your teen wants to have with you, discussing the legal and emotional consequences of sexting may help your teen to avoid being involved with sexting.

I’m not asking for this to be reinvestigated as I think history has shown there is no point to that. The administration let the students down two years ago by allowing a culture of Joe being allowed to do whatever he wanted (evidenced in the attached picture) as he was protected by one of the very instructors who was supposed to protect ALL the students. This was proved again when two students finally after a couple of years of ongoing sexual assault went to their instructors to report what was going on. What happened? Basically nothing was done. He was told not to touch them anymore so he then started a campaign of emotional and mental abuse through social media and trying to turn the team against my daughter. Which sadly, he was partly successful in doing. People were afraid to stand up to him because they feared the repercussions that would come, which they did. Did the sexual abuse finally stop? Yes to me knowledge it did but it was replaced with verbal and mental abuse which is still abuse and again went unchecked. Even when Joe himself brought the social media information to the

Over the years so much has changed in terms of peoples views on young peoples sexuality and on sexting and the rules and consequences associated with sexting. If you jump forward a generation or two to the contemporary world, you will realise the social and sexual landscape has changed dramatically. Sex is regulated less and is in some ways less risky for many young Australians. More young people are having sex and more are having sex at young ages. Social mores have changed. The feminist and gay rights social movements have mobilised for legal and social change. For heterosexual young people, effective contraception is widely available and pregnancy terminations are legal and available through the public health care system. Homosexual sex

We have a major issue on our hands. Over the last week we've had a number of incidents here at the school. Last week we went into a lockdown due to a potential weapon in the building. During the lockdown, Ms. Harris sent a text message to a student and shared information as seen in the picture below. This was reported to our Assistant School Leader by one of our teachers while we were in the middle of the lockdown. Ms. Harris informed the student via text message that a student (named in the text) had a gun. Words cannot express how poor this decision was and how unsafe to the community.

Here is current situation teens young boys and girls are sexting back and forth. Our goals is to tell everyone about the dangers of sexting and what could happen if you sexts. Some people came to our school and talk about sexting. the people who can help you are the police or adults can help you, but remember don't ask some for one or don't send one. This is important to us because I don’t want teens or young girls/boys get in trouble for creating or sending the sext on. I am also doing this for the receiver they should know what to do if they get a sexts. There can be a lot of major charges to, like child pornography, distribution, and possession any of those are a crime and you can be sent to prison. if you create the photo which means child

Since girls are targeted more with sexual harassment, the spreading of the photos has made them more targeted due to the fact their body is all over the internet. This can attract many attention to them and possibly kidnapping. Whereas suspension does not affect someone's life in any way. Therefore, it was reasonable to punish only the boy’s since it will not affect them in the future.

The final article examines the relationship between sexting and social consequences. The authors argue that exposure created through engaging in sexting will increase a participant’s risk for cybervictimization (Reyns, Burek, Henson, & Fisher, 2013, p. 6).

The goal of this study is to examine the relationship among sexting behaviors, relationship satisfaction, and adult attachment style in young adults. Specifically, this study will focus on a variety of factors that can influence, or are significantly related to sexting, such as individual attachment style, gender age and satisfaction in the relationship.

This is nothing I have a problem sharing with you, but I ask if you want to talk to me about it that you do it privity (and you are welcome to do so). The news that was that a man I know and taught children’s classes with back at Bass Pro was arrested for being a serial child molester. We are talking about some monstrous acts. The only person in our class I told about it is Ember, and I just told her about it because we are friends. I didn’t share anything about it with the class as a whole because it didn’t feel like the time or place and I am still trying to process it. Even now, as I am making edits to my journals the night before I turn this in, I am still processing it.

Two years ago the word sexting did not exist. The combination of the words “sex” and “text” is now a term that is heavily discussed and causes issues for parents, students, educators, and law enforcement. Although there is no legal definition of sexting, it generally refers to writing sexually explicit messages, taking sexually explicit photos of themselves or others in their peer group and technologically transmitting those photos and/or messages to their peers. Now many people don’t know the problems associated with sexting. Most of these problems occur when one or all parties are minors. When a minor is involved there can be serious consequences that can follow a person for a life time.
