Summary | More and more cases of teenagers' sexts becoming public are reported. These youths feel less vulnerable showing their body through an image than in person but really they are making themselves much more vulnerable to abuse because they share a record of their intimate behavior. Many male teenagers collect girls' sexts as trophies that they can whip out any time and share with their peers. Oftentimes, vindictive ex-partners publish nude images online after the breakup. Because of the large reach of the internet victims of sexting abuse can become infamous over night which ruins their reputation, makes them guilty of producing or distributing child pornography, and has even lead one 13 year old girl to commit suicide. Parents are urged to have frank discussions about this issue with their children.
