The Lowdown | Should Underage Sexting Be Considered a Crime? Lesson Plan

Underage sexting is a tricky issue to talk about in schools. Yet the risks of sexting are a serious concern for students, particularly given the potential severe legal consequences. Recently, there has been a growing push against criminalizing consensual underage sexting in favor of more age-appropriate guidance and education. In this Lowdown lesson, students will define underage sexting and analyze its potential risks, as well as evaluate and reflect on the legal consequences of sexting and whether they think the current punishments are appropriate for teens caught sexting with other teens.
