Loosey Goosey

There was a report released today about sexting. What is sexting you ask? It is when people text message each other in a sexual manner, whether it be dirty talk, sending compromising pictures, or even videos. The study released found that over a quarter of teenagers are participating in these practices. Mind you, 13 and 14 year olds are considered teenagers. They probably account for a large percentage of teens not doing this.

Can you imagine the repercussions of sexting? How many high school relationships actually work out? How many lead to marriage and life happily ever after? One in a bazillion, if that. So, yea guys, good idea, lets send naked pictures to a boyfriend or girlfriend that you are inevitably going to break up with. Are they going to just delete those pictures once you break up? Any kind, lighthearted high school student would do that. Actually, no, they certainly wouldn't. Most break-ups are for a reason. A reason that deserves retaliation. What better way to retaliate than sending those sexting pictures to anyone and everyone? 

I was a big prude in high school so I can't even imagine doing this. It took a lot of me to even hug a person I called a boyfriend. Holding hands made me sweat and anything further made me shake. I remember my first boyfriend going in for a kiss and actually ducking. It was pretty awkward. So awkward that two days later I had to pull the plug on that week long relationship. Now a days, it seems like that week would constitute naked sexting photos, whether they are at the holding hands stages yet or not. 

When their sexting messages get spread throughout their school and town, these teens are then surprised when they are called derogatory names. I mean, in high school, I thought girls who made out with more than one boy in a month were a little too loosey goosey. And in my world loosey goosey was not a good thing! 

As I married woman, I feel that I have the right and safety net to actually send sexts. However, I do wonder if there are any glitches out there, where these can get into the wrong hands. Hopefully, those glitches won't include Jeff passing them along. To be safe, I will stay away from the whole scene. Prude!
