dont u think they do that to alert the parents of whats going on

There's nothing wrong with it. It's a natural occurrence that begins at young ages. They shouldn't be restricting kids from something that they will eventually be exposed to anyways. They shouldn't be wasting their resources on the restriction of sexting. Instead, they should be worrying about drugs and violence. Sexting is not even harming anyone. It's a joke compared to the other problems. If I was their principal, I wouldn't care if kids were sending nude pictures to each other. Natural tendencies shouldn't be prohibited.

I grew up a generation too late. It used to be nerve racking as hell trying ask out a girl with hopes of getting somewhere. Now just keep trying on Facebook until you find a girl willing to share pics with you.

If my children were involved I would definitely want to be notified, and then I would be upset that the police were even brought into the situation, not to mention that the images were forwarded to the principal.

I can agree to an extent. While I don't necessarily think its ok, I don't exactly think there's something wrong with it either. But, school is definitely not the place for that. By your logic you might as well let them have sex in the hallways because they'll be having sex one day anyways.

I think a ban on cellphones would have prevented this, and I don't understand why, or if they don't have one. I know when I was in school we weren't allowed to have pagers, or walkmans etc..(90's)

I agree sex is something kids need to learn about and understand, but sexting at school isn't exactly the lesson I want my children to have.

I also don't think sexting is hamless. Plenty of young people don't fully understand the consequences and repurcussions that could come from sending someone naked pictures of yourself. Often the pictures are spread around and used as a way to humilate and ridicule someone.

to those of u with kids this is a good thing. we dont want our kids sexting we all know what that will lead to

but no i dont want eveybody and there moma seeing it then we have problems
