We all want to believe that sexting only impacts someone else’s kid, but in the digital age when 95% of teens have access to smartphones, no one is excluded.
Studies show that 1 in 7 teenagers have reported sending texts, and 1 in 4 have reported receiving them. And beyond the many emotional consequences linked to sexting such as anxiety and bullying, 23 states consider sexting amongst minors to be the crime of possession of child pornography placing adolescents at risk of devastating long-term outcomes such as sex offender registry or even sentencing.
The Sexting Solutions Curriculum uses a values-based approach that not only teaches participants how to navigate the challenges they face today, but develop the skills to create a better future.
