Report, 2021
Sexting, the sending and receiving of sexual messages through technological devices like cell phones, is on the rise among youth. While there are debates about whether sexting is a normal form of sexual expression or a risky behaviour, education and support around sexting may help reduce negative consequences associated with sexting for youth. This report shares information about current, evidence-based, online resources focused on sexting and its impacts on youth. The information gathered through this environmental scan may be helpful to parents/guardians, youth, and educators seeking materials to educate themselves or the youth in their lives about sexting.
