More and more children are sending the lewd messages


Parents will soon send or have sent their kids to grow up camps and summer camps. Many of them will take their vacation smartphones, with which they will be in touch with parents ... and others with them. Before leaving, should warn children of the dangers to which they may come across during the summer holidays - not to mention if sekstingu information.
Seksting is sharing photos or videos of a sexual nature with other people, most often via the Internet or smartphones. Usually sent pictures show the owner of the phone or computer. The growing among Polish teen fashion seksting reported some time ago the national media. According to experts from the company ESET summer may favor escalation of this type of behavior among young people. This opinion is shared by Aneta Stremska, doctor of sociology at the University of Silesia in Katowice coach and training center DAGMA ACS.  In recent years, along with changes in customs, increased emotional and physical exhibitionism and eroticism promoted by the media lowered the threshold of sensitivity of young people on what is intimate. Transfer of sexual behavior for virtual reality can, on the one hand, to awaken imagination and induce direct contacts, but on the other hand - can protect against them, and therefore against unwanted pregnancy and prior infection. I see a real danger in the anonymity afforded by the internet, which may encourage adults with pathological sexual proclivities 
Many teens do not know or do not understand the dangers to which it exposes seksting. Experts from the company ESET mention only a few of them:
First Once thrown into the network materials may remain there forever.
Second You can never be sure that the nude photo sent via MMS to sympathy, not leak to the network when a close relationship with the person are broken.
3rd Stealing the phone memory which saved the controversial content, it can at best result in shame while receiving destruction. In the worst case, erotic photos or videos may be used for blackmail.
4th Mistake in dialing, when transmitting a message, can make the material with offensive content will go to the wrong person, such as a family member.
How to protect your child from sekstingiem?
Experts say that there is no substitute for honest and quiet conversation with the consolation, in which will be made clear to all the dangers of a vacation and having the phone.
- The most important thing for young people to realize the consequences of participation in play with the use of their image, not just the erotic, but in general. You should also realize your child that it has no control over the fate of correspondence sent. As for the content sekstingu, of course, you should talk to your children about their sexuality, but here we have to do a much more difficult task, because you would need to start by educating parents - explains Dr. Aneta Stremska.
Parents often mistakenly assume that the problem is not with their children. This phenomenon is becoming increasingly common, and you can bet that every young student had to deal with him, at least in their environment. Do you or your friends also met unpleasant consequences of these practices?
