i think if u cant controll wat we say to other people in person y should u be able to control wat we say thrue text or email and u cant contro l how we expose our self in front of a person so y sould u be able to control it thrue text. that violates our 1st amendment becuase we have the freedom to say wat we want and write(text)wat we want as long as its not disturbing the peace. i think sending it to minors should still be illegal but if the person is your age than go for it, but its not privat

sexting is so fun maybe people who prosicute those who does should try it. every one has there joy of " making love" in their homes. technology these days have advanced, so why cant we have sex via text. people needs to know that if you do sexting, than do it on your own will. know that otheres that know what their doing could and will hack your phone.

sending pictures to your girlfriend or boyfriend is nt wrong if you love them. It is wrong however if you send picturees to all of your friends. i know kids who send nude picrures to all of their friends. this does not mean they are actually having sex. You should not judge people!

I HAVE BEEN HURT BY PEOPLE I TRUSTED. THEY BEGGED AND BEGGED AND YES I SENT PICTURES. I JUST WANTED THEM TO SHUT UP AND STOP ASKING. THEN ONE GUY I TRUSTED GOT ME TO SEND MORE. THEN HIM AND HIS GF BROKE UP. I WENT TO MEET HIM TO TALK BOUT IT.. AND HE HURT ME. HE MADE ME DO THINGS I NEVER DREAMED I WOULD DO. I CRIED AND I STILL FEEL HIM NEAR ME AND TOUCHING ME EVERY NIGHT. I CANT SLEEP OR THINK. IT MAY SEEM HARMLESS TO SEND A PICTURE BUT YOU DONT REALIZE THAT ITS TEASING. TRUST ME.. ITS NOT SAFE.

I guess it's a big problem. But the bigger problem is the name. Because that is just plain awkward. It's a horrible made up name. And portmanteaus are just horrific in and of themselves. Can we please please please replace this "sexting" with something a little more acceptable? It's horrid. And it makes me cringe. Teenagers don't say it. The only person who says it is Dan Rathers, and that's incredibly creepy. Replace sexting!!!

1)Teens don't call this sexting. It is a name made up by adults and it's stupid. 2)Im not against sexual interactions in all forms before marriage. i've been with my bf for 2 yrs and we've done alot but we never go to far. I am ashamed of my generation and the level we have stooped to live at. 3)Parents: Maybe you should stop making new names for sending explicit emails and start raising your children to be productive citizens of society without being over-bearing and intrusive of their privacy

kids don't have privacy anymore..

Anne BubnicA new, dangerous trend is growing among teenagers: text messaging explicit photos of themselves, also known as sexting. Students as young as 12 are exchanging salacious pictures and messages through their cellphones.

A funny picture or a flirty message on your phone may seem innocent enough, but what is your teen really saying when they send a text.
"Teenagers are having sex by the phone, sending flirty messages, meeting up to have sex," says 16 year old Rochellie Garcia.
"On the one hand it can be kind of fun to get an erotic message over your email or on the phone," says Certified Sex Therapist Joyce Joseph. "But on the other hand none of that is really safe or private."
