Title: Two BFA Fairfax Students Interviewed On Sexting Bill
Post by: Henry on April 15, 2009, 06:40:50 PM
Students say it happens every day in every school: teens texting nude photos of themselves to other students.

"It is wrong, but for so many high schoolers it's live in the now. It's not a long-term thing. It's oh, I sent a picture of myself to my boyfriend, big deal," said Hannah Crary, a student from Fairfax, who was identified as being from Bellows Falls.

It's called sexting and according to a study conducted by the national campaigning to prevent teen pregnancy, 20 percent of all students do it.

"I think it's more than that," said Sarah Racine, a student from Fairfax.

"I don't think it's a crime," Racine said.

"I think there should be long-term consequences, a difficult topic to put a real firm grip on," Crary said.
