Is there a site online with real cases?[/quote]

Does she know 13 year old boys? Does she think they are mature and trustworthy? [/quote]

Not PP but acquaintances of 13 yo DD routinely send nudes to people they are attracted to and doctor images of people they are bullying to
Look degrading. Many boys send the girls unsolicited dick pics. Some of the worst girl offenders have very religious/ conservative parents who have no idea what their DC are up to online. It is horrible. I agree that 13 is way too young but this is where wide spread access at young ages has brought us.

I check my DDs phone photos regularly and talk often about negative consequences of sending nudes or being vulgar online. I don’t think it is possible to insulate from it entirely but it is important to talk about, Caution and make sure DC are not engaging in it.[/quote]

Are you joking? Nice dig as conservatives 95% of all girls do this including liberals, Jewish girls etc. [/quote]
 ? Huh

Where is the dig? No reference to anything political at all???[/quote]

Oh sorry see your point now - sorry did not mean conservative in political way … more socially so the girls don’t show them parents their secret social
Media and fake profiles.

Yes many girls of all stripes engaging in this unsafe activity - also agree with PP about mixed messaging. It is very hard to find the right balance. [/quote]

I understood the OP's point. I grew up in a very religious family and my mother is very socially conservative. She has always been in denial about sexuality in young people. Her denial is astounding. Luckily, I was more concerned with getting into a good college so I didn't get into much trouble. But I knew plenty of girls that engaged in risky sexual behavior and their parents had no idea. I can't even imagine if we had social media/cell phones back then. I also recognize that non-religious kids engage in the same behavior. I just never liked the willful ignorance and hypocrisy of some religious people like my mother. [/quote]

Thanks for helping me to clarify with much clearer example. I get it. My mother was very conservative in that way as well (denying sexuality in her children as they grew up) but very liberal in many other ways (environmentalist before it was popular, interfaith, helping the poor etc) … it was just very taboo to talk about sex in her family and school culture. I am quite old fashioned myself but acknowledge sexuality is huge part of growing up … the internet has complicated everything and raised the stakes for risky teen behavior. We have to keep communication channels open, be realistic, and try and steer our teens towards safe online and offline behavior. Sexting is definitely not safe or wise.[/quote]
