Feminists

Didn't you see that I covered that? I don't think the percentage of teens that do it are very high, and I think you can cut it down much lower by showing what their peers will do to them, such as with this vid. The percent is low. But even with a low percentage, if you've 30 million teens in this country, and 0.1 percent do it, that's still 30,000 cases a year. That's 30,000 stories the news can cover about it. But I haven't seen police statistics. It might be as low as 3,000, and if the news follows 90 percent of them, you have the illusion that it's commonplace. About the same illusion is create by the media with crime.

You watch. I bet you as these stories get more publicized, this is going to be happening far less. If it doesn't, I don't think it'll be because parents show their children this video and the teens disregard it, I think it'll be because the parents don't show them at all.

As common as it is for parents to be ignorant of their teens' actions, it's almost as common for them to remain ignorant, ask the most ill-informed questions, and presume the wrong thing. How many parental hysterias have we seen in our lifetime? Rock and Roll, Dungeons & Dragons, Satanism, Rap Music . . . the list goes on and on.

I think sexting in general is less a teenage problem and more a parental hysteria problem. It does happen, and it's very serious when it does, but don't start a panic or presume it's common. It isn't. And it will become less common.

If you want to teach a teen to deal with groupthink and stand alone, you'll encounter a problem: by the time they learn, they're not teenagers anymore. And it doesn't matter how early you start that lesson.

I'm sorry to say, you're posts are very hard to read due to the format being messed up, and you're repetitious. Because of those and nothing else, I'm ending this discussion.
