I am 21 years old. I know for a fact that no matter what you parents try to do your not going to stop hormones. In fact the more you try to stop your teens from doing it, the more they will do it. I say dont waste your time with this type of garbage, it doesnt matter what you want us to stop texting or doing, we will do it whether you like it or not. Dont waste your time on something you cant control. Bbesides text is just text, its no different than talking. People talk about sex, whats so different about texting? Its the same thing.</p> this seems like a desperate attempt for parents to try to stop their kids from having sex. I am 21 years old.

By the way, the short forms referring to nudity don't seem like they'll help out parents too much. If your teen plans on doing that, they'll most likely do that somewhere/time you're not around…looking over their shoulder at the computer screen, because really, if you're looking at your kids cell phone while they're texting, they'll just do it when you aren't being nosy.

If you don't trust your kids enough to know they aren't involved in questionable activities on the Internet, maybe you shouldn't be giving them/paying for their technological outlets.

Next time you plan on posting this kind of information dealing with teens – ask some!
