Our new infographic illustrates findings on teen sexting behavior.
Building on last week’s post, our Teen Health and Technology study finds that the vast majority of teens (93%) do not “sext”—the popular term for sharing sexually suggestive photos of oneself through web or mobile technology. Among the 7 percent of teens who reported sexting, teen sexters are more likely to be female and more likely to be older than teens who do not sext. These data suggest that sexting is not necessarily unhealthy behavior–instead, sexting may just be part of teen sexual development in today’s digital society. To learn more, check out this infographic: Sexting among Teens.
