SEXTING AMONG TEENS: The Conversation, Facts, And Tips You Need To Have With Your Teens

By Katie Beatty

The recent rise in prevalence and devastation of sexting among young people, as well as its complicated nature and effects, are piquing the interest of modern science and professional practice. There is no universal agreement among researchers on what sexting means, even though they have worked very hard to define it. In this review, we put forth a straightforward theoretical framework for sexting to improve how sexting has been operationalized in earlier studies.
Teenagers that engage in sexting (texting plus sex) may do things like send, receive, or forward nude or partially nude photographs via mobile devices. Uncertainty exists around the actual prevalence of sexting among tweens and teens. This might be due to the behavior's overall secrecy, the quick growth of technology, and the absence of a precise definition that takes into account the additional developmental elements (e.g., peak sexual development, impulsivity). Additionally, there is a lack of understanding of the negative effects and elevated risks of sexting for youth, a vulnerable demographic, including shame and guilt, earlier sexual behavior, bullying, incarceration, substance misuse, despair, and suicide.
This article's goal is to analyze teenage SEXTING practices by examining contemporary adolescents specific characteristics that may have an impact on the prevalence and consequences of SEXTING behavior. The examinations, intervention, and evaluation required to treat teenagers affected by sexting are explored as well as the implications for nursing practice.
