What do you think?

May 5, 2009 - Pat Beck
Ok Discobulous, don’t call my sister. I am, once again, shaking my head. This time it is over sexting. Now, when I am shaking my head it is not to be judgmental. It is truly that I just don’t get it, A new survey recently released from the nation's leading tween girl marketing consultancy and research company, AK Tweens, shows an alarming trend among tween girls -- sexting. Believed by most experts and parents to be a "teen" only problem, the survey revealed that 30% of tween girls -- many as young as 10 years old -- are "sexting" -- sending, receiving and/or posting sexy messages/photos (e.g. photos of themselves in their underwear, or without clothes, messages of a sexual or suggestive nature) online and via cell phones. Vermont is proposing an exemption from criminal charges for people ages 13-18 whom sext consensually. But some understandably disagree with the proposal. My question to you, is what do you think? Should there be an exemption? If you are going to answer, do it seriously. This is a serious issue that can affect the lives of young people for years to come. It’s interesting that two of the words in this blog never even existed a few years ago. Sexting and tween!
