Sexting Behaviour by the Young

Abstract

Developing new technologies, in particular communication media, has contributed to the intensity of violent behaviour in the virtual world. Very often different forms of cyberbullying are combined with the phenomenon of sexting. This involves the transmission of personal erotic, or even pornographic, material via various media. The paper is an attempt to draw attention to the phenomenon of sexting, and the consequences of the misuse of digital media by children and young people, in particular the Internet and mobile phones.
