The Issue on Sexting

The tragedy of 18 year old Jessica Logan is a sad story with a terrible but very probable ending in today's world. Nowadays teenage girls and boys are sexting one another, that is sending explicit pictures of themselves to others, without realizing the consequences it might have on their future. The issue with the sexting is that Jessica only sent it to her boyfriend without knowing that when they broke up, he would make it public to his friends, and they would then send it to other people. A young girl of 18 getting harassed by her class mates for something she never meant anyone else to find out, it's cruel, but it's reality. The worst part is that she felt like there was no other solution but to end her life... I think it's outrageous how things got out of control because a kid should never feel like committing suicide.

My stand point on things is that parents shouldn't sue the school because it wasn't their fault that she sent that text or that her boyfriend made it public. I believe that the actions to take on this matter is trying to find a way to avoid other kids from suffering what Jessica suffered. What I do blame the school with is not being more supportive with Jessica's situation but then again, you can also blame her parents for not realizing something was wrong and she wasn't happy. You can't file a suit against an institution for something that was out of their hands. School counselors should be more open to students and really take the role of psychologist when these things happen because hormonal as we teens are, we tend to make rash decisions to find an easy solution. So I vote for no law suit!
