Sexting and teens are two things that should not ever be mixed together because of the serious consequences that it results in. In the essay The Risks of Sending Sexual Material via Cell Phone written by Susan Carney, and the video clip Sexting is Illegal, provided by YouTube both show that Sexting is irrelevant and very costly. In the video the teen speaks about his personal encounter with the sharing of a sexual text message which was very costly on his behalf. He was charged with distribution of child pornography, and is now a registered sex offender. In the essay written by Susan Carney she speaks about the same issue where teens do not realize what they can be charged with by Sexting. Also in the video the teen speaks about the changes in his life that he has now encountered after he was charged for Sexting. He had to drop out of college and move out of his home because it was too close to a school. in result of him having to move out and live on his own has been very costly to him because he is still very young and has to live with being known as a sex offender for 20 years off his life. Sexting in general should be banned from everyone because not only does it affect the sender but the person involved in the message. Sexting is very costly and to have to live for 20 years with the charge of a sex offender in your records is miserable. If you do not have the attention that you may want Sexting is not the answer. There are many other ways to seek attention from others that does not involve demeaning yourself. In conclusion, it is clear from the examples above that Sexting and teens is very costly, and should be put to an immediate stop before other teens out there are exposed to the threats that it holds against teens.
