Awesome thanks for sharing this.

When my oldest was in high school she would get text messages from boys that I considered "sexting". The messages did not include pictures but the messages were talking about inappropriate sexual things that I didn't like. Even though she was not sexually active boys would feel it was ok to send her these very graphic messages. She never told me or complained about it. Yet it made her very uncomfortable. I wonder if a lot of girls have this problem.

Oh yuck, how terrible. I'm so sorry she had to deal with that. I guess it at least let her know which boys to avoid spending time with. :(
