Sexting

So I was looking at the paper that was in our bathroom and saw a headline that caught my eye. It said something along the line, 20%of teens are sexting or were caught.  This was at a school, not too far away.  It's in the area across the river from where I live.  Now while I didn't really read the whole article, I saw some of it.  It said they are prosecuting them who were sexting and well I agree.  They should be punished for it.  And what really surprised me was, I am sure..I swear the article said it was middle school kids!  Middle School!! That means like I guess anywhere from 11-maybe 14 years old!  That is just too young for that sort of thing.  Although, no one should be doing it at all.  Sexting is just gross and wrong.  

What is wrong with people these days?  Do they really have no respect for themselves that they need to do something like this?  Are they that conceited, stuck on themselves that they think they look hot and that other people want to see them like that?  Also I guess they really don't think that far ahead of what the consequences are and what will happen in the future.  I mean that will be with you the rest of your life.  People will always remember that you sexted.  And who knows, someone might keep that picture forever and can use it against a certain person.  Things like that don't just go away.  But let's back up to the present.  It doesn't matter if you just sext to a friend or boyfriend/girlfriend.  If you end up making someone mad, they might just go behind your back and the person who you made made may send it to everyone.  Then it gets out.  How embarrassing.  Or even if you don't make someone mad, they may still go behind your back and send the picture to everyone.  It doesn't matter what you look like or how good your body looks, you should still not sext.  It's gross, disrespectful of yourself and just plain wrong!  So think about the consequences next time you think about sexting. 

This is just my opinion.  You don't have to agree with me, but some of this is true.
