Sexting
Lauri S. Scherer
About this book
It is essential that your teens understand that sending or receiving a sexually suggestive text or image under the age of 18 is considered child pornography and can result in criminal charges. With 40 percent of the female teens taking part in sexting are doing it as a joke, this joke can end up with dire consequences. Give your readers an essential guidebook into the details and dangers of sexting. This collection of essays presents a diversity of opinion on the topic, including both conservative and liberal points of view in an even balance. Readers will evaluate such topics as whether sexting is a valid form of self-expression, whether America's sex-crazed culture promotes sexting, and whether parents and adults are overreacting to sexting.
