Sexting refers to sending or receiving sexual text messages or images via cell phone. According to statistics, about 38% of teens have sent sext messages and 48% have received them. A survey of teens found that over half of females and 73% of males had sexted, with most not seeing it as a serious issue, though it can have real consequences by embarrassing people or ruining careers. While many teens don't view sexting as a problem, it is a growing concern for teens in America.
