Sexting? Is it an innocent act to seek acceptance and approval from others?

Technology has begun affecting us in a bad way specially our young ones. Mobile, iPods, mp3s act are one of Many things that are invented to make our life easier and less complicated but as our modern society still develops we began having some problems caused by our newest technology along with lack of carefulness.

Today as we all se in our daily news the latest issue of all " SEXTING" . I believe that everyone of us is familiar with this new ord. for you who still haven´t heard about " sexting" it means the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photos electronically, primarily between cell phones.

It is a very growing serious issue in our modern society. As we see and hear about how our children still get abused and harassed by their fellow students or any sick person who tries to take advantage of the situation. But what can we do about it? Are we really going to take away mobiles from our children, or is there any other solution?

I talk from own experiences. I am a teenager and I still go to high school. But I am fortunately to be an enlightened teenager who knows what is best for her and what is right and wrong. But believe me I know many girls who are as enlightened as me and they still somehow manage to get themselves in troubles like for example " sexting".

The main problem is that boys during high school are trying to prove themselves by trying to have as many girlfriends as possible. It is kind of identity proof to them, some kind of acceptance. About the girls I see, hear and believe that they are trying also to show off by having a boyfriend. I feel ashamed of saying it but it feels like especially teenage girls that they often feel insecure about themselves so they try to proof for everyone that they are needed and wanted by another person.

I believe that this problem goes back to the way we raise up our children and the lack of attention we attend to give them while growing up. So when teenagers, instead of feeling secure and stable, they seek attention from others and in many cases this kind of behavior almost always ends very badly. But still what is the solution?,

In this case. We need to take care of our children, we need to give them more care, more attention, more love. Parents should have more control when it comes to the internet or who are their children texting and calling.

But first of all we need to give them the feeling of acceptance and please try to be their friend instead of their prisoner. I know that you guys will take care of this. After all they are children. Learn to trust them to enable them to trust you in return.
