Sex, Phones and Social Media
Sending Pictures and Videos
Having a smart phone might tempt you to send or receive messages or images that have sexual content such as pictures of private parts, nude selfies, or videos.
Sending messages that contain sexual content can be illegal and it can lead you to trouble. You should be aware of the consequences of sending such images or videos as things can go wrong and before you know it can go out of control.
Privacy is not Guaranteed on your Phone
There are many ways explicit content on your phone can fall into the wrong hands
Your phone can be lost or stolen
Your partner can send your private pictures to someone else
Your picture can be circulated online, by a hacker or the person you shared it with
You are no longer in a relationship with your partner.
You Have the Power
Remember that you have all the right to say ‘NO’ and no one can force you to do anything.
If you want to know more about the above, you can talk to someone you trust or you can text or call at the kid’s helpline.
