Sexting

Sexting (a combination of sex and texting) is the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photos electronically, primarily between cell phones. It shows poor judgment when using digital technology by sending an image, video or text message of an explicit or risque nature to another individual. Sexting is serious, dangerous, has consequences and can ruin your future.

UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES of what could happen if you take, send or forward sexual photos of you or someone underage. You could get kicked out of clubs, sports teams and even out of school, be humiliated, not get into college or be accepted for jobs...and you could even be in trouble with the law.

BEFORE HITTING SEND remember that what gets posted on the internet stays there! Once on the internet, your photo can become a viral marketing campaign -- meaning others can spread your photo all over the internet. You may trust your girlfriend or boyfriend but consider the fact that they can send your photo to their friends which can be sent to many others, or they could post it online.

NEVER TAKE images of yourself that you wouldn’t want anyone else to see. This includes family, classmates, teachers, employers.

CONSIDER THAT IF YOU FORWARD a sexual picture of someone underage, you are as responsible as the original sender of this image. You could face child pornography charges, go to jail, and have to register as a sex offender.

REPORT any nude pictures you receive on your cell phone to an adult you trust. Do not delete the message. Instead, get your parents or guardians, teachers, and school counselors involved immediately.

THINK CAREFULLY before you send a sext. It could change your life forever.
