Sexting: Choice
Sexting Some people say that sexting shouldn’t be legal but I think that sexting should be legal. There are a lot of consequences that comes with sexting, but it’s your choice if he or she wants to put themselves in that predicament. Today I will be telling and explaining my reasons why I think sexting should be legal. My first reason is because it’s a common thing in 2013. My second reason is because it’s a choice that people choose to make. My third reason is because it’s not a crime unless you make it a crime.
The reason why I say that sexting is common in 2013 is because most teenagers and young adults do it. They would send sexy pictures to their boyfriend or girlfriend to make them happy. They may also send nasty sayings to one another to show how much they want to be with them. It’s not a problem when it couple because you know that your sexting messages are safe. If it was to someone you barely know then you’re not sure what they would do with you messages.
Next, I say that it’s a choice that people make is because no one can control you actions. For an example if I chose to send my boyfriend a picture of me half dress than that was my choice, no one else’s. If he ends up sending it to someone or posting it on a social network I don’t have the right to complain because I sent the picture. You should always think about the repercussions before acting. I say that because the blame will no longer put on the person who sent the picture.
Lastly, I said “It’s not a crime unless that’s what you make it” for many reason. The first reason why I said that is because if you expose someone to others, than that would be considered a crime. If you don’t know the person you sent a picture, video, or even sexual quote to as much, why send them. You have no clue or idea what they would do with them. The person you sent them to can be a rapist or a pedophile and you

    Since kids see it as a norm this is one of the leading causes of sexting Rosin mentions. If everyone's doing it this could lead kids to think why shouldn’t they. If no one is stopping the kids and they see their classmates engage in it or friends mention it will give make the kid want to do it. This normalization leads to another cause of sexting as well. Kids who don’t engage in sexting will feel pressured to sext. Rosin addresses these kids as “pressured sexters” and these pressured setters are usually girls. Since boys are the ones a majority of the time asking for pictures girls feel compelled to send them because they continually ask for them. If we don’t let kids know that sexting isn’t normal and they don’t have to send a photo if they don’t want to then they will continue to do it and will never see sexting has a problem. This is where the parents come in. They need to be engaged in their kid's social media and know whats going on with them. Rosin says that they have to take “a deep breath” and ask questions and I completely agree with…

    Choice Is Your Choice

    How would you feel if you went to the store and you were told what to buy? What if you were told what to do? What if you had no choice in where to go or what to wear? How would you feel if these choices were limited to just two or three choices to choose from? In this day and age, the variety of choice has grown to almost limitless. This abundance of choice gives people the opportunity to be different. Individuality would mean nothing if we all wore the same clothes, ate the same food, and most of all had no choice in who we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with. Barry Schwartz wrote “When It’s All Too Much”, an article about the overabundance of choice, in 2004.…
