New Anti-Sexting App Doomed To Failure
LatestKids today sure do love texting! But a new app could force them to keep it clean — or just get creative.
According to Katherine Rosman of the Wall Street Journal, “the average 13- to 17-year-old sends and receives 3,339 texts a month — more than 100 per day.” This is the most convincing evidence yet that I am now old — I can no more imagine sending 100 texts a day than I can, say, liking Justin Bieber. Or, for that matter, sexting. Despite Cosmo’s insistence that I “entice him” with “sexy texts,” I’ve never really gotten the hang of this supposed seduction method (one time I tried it, and my then-boyfriend thought I was cursing at him). Now sexting could get difficult for teenagers too — according to the NY Post, Apple has patented an app that would keep teens from sending sexy messages.
