NDM: Teenagers need to be better educated on sexting #4

Sexting education for the youth

The main problem with past books and resources is that they are very much disconnected from the youth culture, how they interact technology and each other. A report made by the foundations youth health sector support have stated that current knowledge and advice regarding sexting to the youth is very much outdated. Majority of the books that the foundation discovered were very much aimed at working men and women rather than youngsters who are predominately the ones who carry smartphones and use social media a lot. 

Things like the words 'text' is outdated when a more recent book should be more defiant such as 'what sapping' or 'snap chatting', these are the details that will really relate to a lot of youth as they use these media outlets anyways and may need advice regarding those areas. I believe that it is true that sexting is a subject that hasn't been very well taught to youngsters as the advice given to the youth is very much outdated and doesn't really connect with out ideologies.
