Psychotherapy Commission ACPEThe article reports on a national study about teen sexting, showing that while many teens do not participate, those who do face high risks of nonconsensual sharing and sextortion, especially when images are sent to non-partners. It highlights the emotional, social, and legal costs associated with digitally shared explicit content among adolescents.
This piece is of interest to psychology readers because it illuminates how digital behavior intersects with trust, privacy, and power dynamics in adolescence, and it considers how social norms and harm reduction approaches can influence teen decision-making and well-being.
