"Shame Nation: The Global Epidemic of Online Hate" (Sourcebooks) covers one of the biggest sexting scandals in a high school in one of the least likely towns, Duxbury, Massachusetts (nicknamed "Deluxeberry", for its oceanfront homes), where a Dropbox account revealed photos of around 50 female students.
It's imperative that schools, parents and communities step up to address the consequences of this culture. One study of teenagers in Texas basically concluded that sexting is the new “first base.”Īs we have read in headlines across the globe, bad things can happen to good people and in the nicest places. Maybe you believe that students make good digital choices or wouldn't engage in such activities. Maybe you have social media monitoring systems in effect. You might think this could never happen to you or at your school.
From small towns like Canon City, Colorado, to Winnetka, Illinois, countless schools have been reeling from the fallout of slut pages and sexting scandals that have left students feeling shamed and betrayed.
