What is Sexting?

Sexting can be defined as:

• To send someone a sexually explicit digital image, video, text message, or email, typically a photo of oneself, usually by a cell phone.
• Transmitting sexually explicit messages, primarily through cell phone text messaging.

Sexting has become very popular with teenagers, arguably being seen as just another step in building a relationship. Having discussions with kids about their attitudes towards sexting as well as the consequences should they choose to participate could decrease the amount of these occurrences. 

The WISH Center is sponsoring training to address sexting, Teen Sexting Intervention on December 4, 2019, March 9, and April 24, 2020. Read more about the curriculum and Bryan at: https://www.dynamicfamilysolutions.net
