ContextContext• Our students have grown up with the internet• Generation Gap
– They are the “intuitives”– We are the “visitors”

““SextingSexting””
• “Sexting” is sending nude or sexually suggestive pictures and accompanying text via cell phone.
• Although the original “sexter” may only send the suggestive message to one person--a girlfriend or boyfriend, for example--that message can be forwarded to anyone in the recipient’s address book, and from there, all across a school or community.
• Once it’s out there, there’s no way to take back the message or the accompanying embarrassment or humiliation.

So if itSo if it’’s not at school…s not at school…“Whether electronic aggression occurs at home or at
school, it has implications for the school and needs further exploration.
As was previously mentioned, young people who were harassed on-line were more likely to get a detention or be suspended, to skip school, and to experience emotional distress than those who were not harassed.
In addition, young people who receive rude or nasty comments via text messaging are significantly more likely to report feeling unsafe at school.”
