This is a story found on the Global news website about the latest in sexting. I thought that this was a very good story and covered the issue from a different angle.

One of the things that I found particularly interesting is how the reporter found out what the different abbreviations meant. I had never heard of them before and some of them were very clever; for example, providing a warning sign in case there is a parent in the room.

This is something that parents should think about, especially because if they were to see one of these abbreviations then they wouldn’t have any idea what it meant.

And sexting is a practice that can have some harsh consequences; especially when there are photos or videos taken of people who are under-aged. I was glad that the reporter mentioned both the social and legal consequences that can occur.

One thing that I found took away from the video was the length of the clips. I found the clips that featured texts and words were a little short for the viewer to get the complete grasp of it. I couldn’t read all of it in the time allotted and I found it annoying and distracting. But I do understand why they wouldn’t want to spend too much time on those clips considering that some people might become offended if they actually had the time to read them.
