Holmes and Mr. Baer gave Ida. Based off of what we discussed in class, this undoubtedly seems like an infringement of cyber ethics. Mr. Baer mentions what I think is the most important concept of this whole article, how does Ida know this person she is talking to is indeed a male and 10 years younger than her? There are many different predators online- male and female, younger and older. And once again, as Mr. Baer mentions, what will in fact happen to those pictures if Ida decides to send them; surly, the “special friend” won’t just look at them and decide to quickly delete them, what if he is an enemy of Ida and will use them to get revenge on her?

Therefore, in source 2 paragraph 11, it states, “Some teens who have engaged in sexting have been threatened or charged with a felony of child pornography charges, although some states have started characterizing such behaviors as juvenile-law misdemeanors” You can see by this that social media can harm your reputation by being accused of a felony. This also shows that your reputation can be ruined in days, hours, minutes, and probably even seconds. In source 2 paragraph 14, it also states, “This collective ongoing record one’s web activity it's called the digital footprint...biggest threat to young people on social media sites...lack of an awareness of privacy issues often post inappropriate messages, pictures, and videos without understanding that “ what goes online stays online.” Furthermore, whatever you put online stays online because of the digital footprint.

William, It is sad to see such a thing happen to a young little girl. I think people believe sexting does not hurt someone because he or she is not causing physical harm to the other person. However, sexting cause severe psychological harm to the victim, especially if it happen to young adults. I considered sexting as a mental illness since the abusers is not in their right mind distributing sensitive images and being a naïve, immature bully. On the other hand the victim will suffer from mental anguish of embarrassment, depression, shame, and possibly guilt letting the other person take the pictures.

The lack of understanding has led to adult seeing sexting as a virus that has infiltrated society 's youth, when it is arguably a safer alternative to sex.

Such platforms as these are providing a playing field for these sext acts to occur, and thus creating a network of peer pressure to sext. The truth of this situation is harsh, but needed as adolescent girls are the ones that are targeted and pressured into sending nude photos. And they do not think that any of this will be beneficial to them, and often do not think of it as a positive experience, unlike their male counterparts (Rettner). Which leaves the adults to believe that the girls are the ones that provoke this kind of behavior out of the boys, and are responsible for the actions that occur.
