Week 14

This week we were assigned to watch some videos and read articles on sexting. I think this is a huge problem with children. Young students are able to bring their cellphones into school at a young age, which allows them to always be connected with their friends even during school hours. Teens are becoming more and more curious about their bodies and connections with the other sex that its only natural for them to take it to this kind of level. If I had it my way I would bad students to bring cell phones to school and if parents needed to contact them they would have to do it like the old days through the office and principle. But these days that is not so practice. Parents want their kids to have phones so it becomes easier to contact. With that being said. There is no real way to always monitor what the children are texting or taking photos of. I feel that the best thing we can do is INFORM the students of the problem and the consequences and hope that they listen to what we have to say.
