“Text Education”

A new survey found that 1 in 5 teens has “sexted,” meaning that they sent sexually provocative or nude photos through cell phone text messages or email. Even more unsettling, most of the ones doing it are ugly.

80% of teens who are sexting are under the age of 18. In a related story, Michael Jackson is now giving out his private cell phone number to everybody.

Teens alerted to the dangers of sexting responded, “OMG! WTF?”

Parents are often ill-informed about social networking and its risks to kids. When asked, 60% of teens’ parents thought posting a status update meant holding a note on the fridge with a magnet.
Pathetic. [Colon, left parentheses]
