devices at their disposal to use for social, family and other purposes. Mobile
phones are equipped to send/receive phone calls, text messages and multimedia
data.

likely to engage in sexual activity, raising their risks for sexually
transmitted diseases.

awareness. The real issues can emerge when the parties involved in sexting are
under 18 and when youngsters get peer pressured into sexting or when sexts go
viral.
