A recent study led by Jeff Temple from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, shows how common sexting has become among teens:
- 28% have sent a naked photo of themselves via text or email
- 31% have asked someone for a sext
- 57% have been asked to send a sext
So What?
In recent years, churches have gotten more involved in educating youth and their parents about technology. Sexting is too significant and has become too widespread an issue to ignore. How is your congregation responding?
