Welcome to the 7th Grade Internet Safety Mini Lessons

Lesson 1: Sexting
Lesson 1: Sexting
Questions to Consider
Sharing inappropriate images and videos of yourself online is not only dangerous but sending, receiving and forwarding on inappropriate images can also be illegal if they involve nudity or partial nudity!
1. Watch this video
Unfortunately, sexting does happen and it is important to know what to do about it.
Remember that once an image is sent the sender is no longer in control of the situation.
2. What should I do?
If you receive a sexting photo, you must not forward it on to anyone else. Sending the photo to someone else may be illegal and you could be accused of sharing child pornography. Instead, you should tell an adult what is going on and let them deal with it. They will know what to do.
