Sexting Behaviour

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sexting is defined as the act of sending indecent or sexually explicit images, video or photos, via mobile phones, and namely through text message, Bluetooth, email, or instant messenger, especially amongst young people. First coined by the media in the early 2000s, the term ¿sexting¿ comes from the combination of words ¿sex¿ and ¿texting¿, and often describes the action of cyberbullying, distressing or harming other people. Nevertheless, in most cases, sexting attempts take place between a boyfriend and a girlfriend. Recently, a new US study announced that sexting behaviour becomes more widespread among American teenagers, gaining national attention. Learn more about sexting practice in this book.
