Podcast Response

In class this past week, we discussed podcasts. I came across one, by BAM Radio Network, named Sex, Teens and Technology, Oh My! The podcast discusses the consequences of media, especially through sexting. Teenagers don't realize how serious their actions can be and how there are so many repercussions that can come out of it. These teens do not realize how even if they are sending a "sext" to a boyfriend or girlfriend, the internet has the power to distribute it everywhere. Also, sexting can be seen as a crime in some states because it is technically the distribution of child pornography. Schools may have to get involved as well. Once something happens while the teens are in school, it is the job of the administration to become part of the problem. It is also suggested that parents should try to have "the talk" with their teens regarding this issue. I found this podcast very informative and will definitely watch out for more like it!
