1. Sexual Issues Harassment, Dating Violence, Rape

2. Sexting – Don’t Do It!!!! Do you want to be a registered sex offender? Creating, transmitting, and even possessing a nude, seminude, or sexually explicit image of a minor can be considered child pornography. Having it on your phone is considered possession. Child pornography is determined by the age of the person IN the picture, NOT the age of the person viewing it. Sexting is being sexually active! You are sharing your body with another individual.

3. Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment can happen to girls and boys. Sexual harassers can be fellow students, teachers, principals, janitors, coaches, and other school officials.

4. Examples Unwelcome touching, grabbing, mooning, flashing, rubbing Suggestive comments, inappropriate compliments, or jokes Sexually explicit pictures, posters, calendars Spreading sexual rumors Requests for sex Intrusive questions about a person's private life or body Insults, name-calling or taunts based on your sex Derogatory graffiti Sexually explicit e-mails, text messages, etc.

6. Write down what happened, the date it happened, where it happened, and who else may have seen or heard the harassment.

7. Save any texts or pictures the harasser sent you.

9. Violence Teen dating violence often is hidden because teenagers typically: are inexperienced with dating relationships. are pressured by peers to act violently. want independence from parents. have "romantic" views of love. Teen dating violence most often takes place in the home of one of the partners.

10. Warning signs: Dating violence or abuse affect one in four teens. Abuse isn't just hitting. It's yelling, threatening, name calling, saying "I'll kill myself if you leave me," obsessive phone calling or paging, and extreme possessiveness. Are you going out with someone who... is jealous and possessive, won't let you have friends, checks up on you or won't accept breaking up? tries to control you by being bossy, giving orders, making all the decisions or not taking your opinion seriously? puts you down in front of friends or tells you that you would be nothing without him or her? scares you? Makes you worry about reactions to things you say or do? Threatens you? is violent? Has a history of fighting, loses his or her temper quickly, brags about mistreating others? Grabs, pushes, shoves, or hits you? pressures you for sex or is forceful or scary about sex? Gets too serious about the relationship too fast? abuses alcohol or other drugs and pressures you to use them? has a history of failed relationships and always blames the other person for all of the problems? makes your family and friends uneasy and concerned for your safety? Don't let it happen to you.
