This article shows the true scale of young people’s sexting activity is unclear, but Ceop is notified of a serious incident on average about once a day, with reports coming from schools, parents or pupils. In September, the legal risks were made clear when a 14-year-old boy was told his details would be held on a police database for 10 years for the crime of making and distributing an indecent image of a child. He had sent a naked image of himself to a classmate. All involve serious concerns about child protection. A recent reliable survey found that 12% of 11- to 16-year-olds have seen or received sexual messages online. That’s obviously quite a big minority, but it’s still very much the minority.

- sexting/sending nudes becoming a norm, to maintain relationships
- the population of teens sending nudes has grown
- its found that 12% of 11-16 have sent/ recieved nudes or dogy pics of classmates
In my opinion it is because of the excessive acceptability and and use of social networking and online communications. this gives us the ability to hide behind and give us these confidences that we wouldn't normally do in a conversation, this is why cyber bulling is more likely to occur than physical bulling in the last 5 years.
