Sexting: A Major Issue Being Found Across the Nation

Sexting, which is when someone sends a nude photo of themselves over the cell phone, is on the rise and can be found in mostly every school across the nation. It is a major issue and should be known by teachers so that they can be there for all of their students just in case an incident like this occurs. 1 in 5 teens does it, according to Bill Alpert of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. Therefore one day as a teacher I will most likely encouter this and may need to give a student advice. I orginally did not think that this would be an appropriate topic for a teacher to get involved with but to be the best prepared I feel that it would be necessary.
