Sending nude or partially nude photographs via text message has become so common among teenagers that Egypt Kosloski, 19, now refuses to look at her male friends' cell phones. Too often they contain explicit photos of girls, she said. Find Us On Facebook
"It is extremely prevalent in teenage culture," said Kosloski, who is president of the student association at Anne Arundel Community College. "I've known girls who've been in tears.

Whats Happened to Our Youth - 2010-01-31 10:14:35
I shake my head at a third of the things I hear about young people let alone see in public places.
What scares me the most about the youth of today is knowing that some day they'll be adults.
God Save Us All.

Education - 2010-01-31 03:52:15
Education is the key here. If parents are being parents and keep an eye on their children and monitor them, they would see more. Having a realtionship with your child is key, and will save so much heartache. i am a mother and a sibiling of 6 being the oldest I am ontop of it all. I would never forgive myself if something was to happen to my family. Talking about the news and how seious sexting is and that once that picture is sent it is out there for everyone to see is a scary thought. My sister is 16 and I worry about her night and day. When I visit my sibiling that are still in school the first thing I do is check their phones and internet. Awareness on the adults end is the key here.
