With advances in technology and the accessibility of the internet, a new way of pornographic exchange has emerged. This new form is done through texting, an act that has been given the name of “sexting.” sexting is when explicit videos, pictures and even words or phrases are sent to someone or a group of people through a text message. This has been a troubling controversy for the past couple of years, the nerve-wrecking part is that there have been many reported cases where a young teen, mainly girls, have committed suicide because of sexting trouble. That is because sexting has gotten very popular among the teenage community and if the government does not make this a priority I fear that this will become one of the leading suicide causes for many teens in the future. It is sad to see these naive girls falling for the words of a horny teenager or vice versa and in the end they can't take all the responsibility that comes with sending these pictures that can not be prevented from being sent out. There has to be a better way to stop this because whatever it is that we as a community are doing to stop this is not working. “Sexting” in my opinion needs to be severely punished regardless of age.
