WHAT IS SEXTING? When people talk about sexting, they usually mean sending and receiving: naked pictures or 'nudes' 'underwear shots' sexual or 'dirty pics' rude text messages or videos. More 12-15s cite Snapchat as their main social media profile than in 2014 (11% vs. 3%), while fewer cite Facebook (58% vs. 75%).

The conversations you need to be having with your child What your kids need to know about sexting: once you send a message you can't control what happens to it don't let someone guilt or pressure you into sending a sex text if you've sent a nude pic, have an honest conversation with the person you sent it to. Ask them to delete it if an indecent or nude pic of you is posted online, you can contact the website directly or speak to a Childline counsellor about having it removed. Confide
