The dates from the survey revealed that

• 22% of teen girls

• 18% of teen boys

• 11% of young teen girls (13-16)

have posted or send nude/semi-nude pictures or videos of themselves.

Regarding the young adults that have sent or post nude/semi-nude pictures or videos of themselves, it seems that in this case the number increases:

• 56% of young adult woman

• 62% of young adult man

• 64% of young adults say that they have received such messages

More than that, from statistics we can find out to whom these messages were sent:

• 21% of teen girls and 39% of teen boys say they have sent it to someone they like and would like to date with

• 15% of teens who have sent or posted nude or semi-nude images of themselves say they have done so to someone they only knew online.

These numbers are facts that we cannot ignore. We should better try to change something in these young people lives and their perceptions before is too late. These teens must know that their acts can have seriously damaging effects on their futures. If you have any idea on how can we help them please let us know your suggestion.
