Sexting is the transfer, obtaining, or sending of sexually explicit photos or sexually expressive messages via text message or email. These new technological developments have made sexual interactions much easier and more powerful than ever before. With the click of a button an image can be spread instantly to many people and once available, there is no going back. Emotionally, sexting can take a toll on a person, especially if it goes wrong and ends up in the wrong hands. Teenagers have the ability to feel invincible. So even though they know sexting is wrong, they don't think they'll get stuck. Another emotional catch is that sexting can lead to harassment for the teenager whose photographs were shown to others. This makes it a difficult world for a teenager to live in. They often do not ask for assistance due to humiliation and remorse. They are also afraid of making the situation worse or getting into trouble. Many teens may feel like they are caught in a trap with no way out. You have to protect teenagers. As a parent you can't be afraid to ask them for personal information
