New English Word- “SEXTING”

In Houston, Texas, thousands of students are returning to school to discover a new rule: no ‘sexting’ – the distribution of nude or semi-nude photographs or videos by text message.

“They were reporting that it was an issue and may be becoming more of a problem,”.

A recent study by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy found 22 % of US teenager girls and 18% of teenager boys have sent messages or posted images or video online showing them nude or semi-nude.

“A student may be sending pictures to their boyfriend and they break up and he sends it to everybody,” said Graff.
