App Helps Teens Block Sexts As If They're Not the Ones Sending Them
LatestThere are three indisputable facts about teens. 1.) They love it when copywriters replace “ex” sounds with just the letter X. 2.) They want their moms to get out of their rooms. And 3.) they cannot stop sexting.
Thankfully, there’s a new app to help with the third thing.
Zipit, developed by British charity Childline, allows teenagers to respond to sexts with “witty” memes instead of snaps of their own adolescent junk. These memes include a image of a banana peel with the words “That’s not appealing” (awesome!), a picture of a surprised cheetah with the words “do. not. want” (rad!), and a picture of stressed-out chimp accompanied by “I’m into you, but not into that” (shamalamadingdong!)
