Sexting

Concerns regarding sexting (defined as the act of sending sexually explicit messages, photographs, or videos) began to emerge in 2009 as researchers started highlighting possible long-term consequences. In 2011, the Texas School Safety Center created their first online course on the topic of sexting. Since technology has evolved it has become apparent that bullying and harassment can be both a cause and an effect of sexting. This online course has been updated to reflect the current culture, concerns, technology, laws, crimes, and individuals involved.
