“Sexting” is a Problem

December 11th, 2009

I know I just claimed there are no problems. I’m balancing my frou-frou with a gut-wrenching reality check. This is a chilling story about a 13 year old girl who committed suicide after on-going school-wide bullying that began after she sent a boy nude pictures of herself via her cellphone.

I am really worried about the discrepancy between the advances in technology/social media and the lag in developing education for ethical behavior, online and off. Do kids get the rammifications of what happens online? I doubt it. Stories like this break my heart.
