Sexting Trouble
Teens do not want to cause trouble by sexting, they just want to have a little fun. “Teens are not trying to cause harm by sexting they are trying to be young and sexy” According to Lithwick. Lithwick argues that the punishment is too harsh and old to cover an issue such as teens and sexting. A survey from the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy reported that one in five teens admitted to sending a nude photo. Additionally, if a teen is caught sexting they could face a punishment as severe as being forced to register as a sex offender for 20 years. Lithwick says that it's too harsh to charge teens with the same felonies that actual producers of child pornography get because they don't realize the consequences of their actions. Finally, Lithwick states that most teens aren't trying to be predators they are just trying to be young and have fun by being sexy also the girls should not be charged with harsher felonies for sending the nude pictures.
