Teens and "sexting"

According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, one in five teens have sent a naked picture of themselves by "sexting" - using a cell phone to transmit the image; or by posting it on the Internet. That means your child or one of your child's friends has engaged in this sad practice. Many teens are swimming in a sea of sexual immorality and there is really only one way to combat it – open communication with your adolescent.  Make sure you share your attitudes about sex openly, honestly and frequently.
