Summary | Teenagers all over the world seem to be sexting. Australian studies have shown that sexting does not appear to have an impact on sexual activity as the statistics have remained the same as twenty years ago when we did not have this technology. A mass of news reports exists on how teenagers were harmed by sexting but the majority of sexting teenagers fortunately do not experience these problems. Parents should teach their children to be respectful towards other (not share their texts) and not be too worried if their teenagers are sexting - it is a modern form of 'courtship'.
