Fifteen percent of teenagers who have cell phones say they are involved in sexting. A new study by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project found that nearly one in six young people aged 12-17 has received a sexually suggestive, nude or nearly nude picture via cell phone.
"[I've sexted] a few times," writes one high-school boy. "... Just my girlfriend sending pictures of herself to me and me sending pictures of myself to her."
Or as one high-school girl explains, "If a guy wants to hookup with you, he'll send a pictures of his private parts or a naked picture of him[self]. ... It's mostly the guys I date or just a guy that ... really wants to hook up with you." (via)
