Sexting.
It's currently at the height of much controversy and media attention. But why? What's so important about a series of words across a screen anyways?The Web and cell phones help us communicate, connect and learn in ways we never could before, but they've also forever changed how we interact with others. Things we used to share in person – and in private – can now be broadcast to thousands, instantly. Sometimes we type things we would never say to someone's face. As a result, new issues like forced sexting, textual harassment and cyberbullyiing have emerged, which now affect a majority of young people in the U.S.
A Thin Line.com is designed to empower you (or students,parents, etc.) to identify, respond to, and stop the spread of digital abuse in your life and amongst your peers.
Not meaning to sound so terribly blunt/realistic or shocking but, sexting can make or break more than a career. It can destroy a persons' reputation, stunting their education, hopes, goals, and desires. It's important to know how to properly and appropriately address both the possibility and reality of such an issue within an educational context.
