So much for all of those crazy "sexting" teens we've been hearing about in the press. A new survey conducted by the AP and MTV shows that the new buzzworthy phenomenon is NOT really all that common. In fact, out of the 1,247 people interviewed (600 of which were ages 14-17 and 647 of them ages 18-24), only 29% admitted to receiving sexual texts and 18% have gotten nudie pix sent to them. As for those doing the sending, only 10% have sent nudie pix of themselves to someone else (sorry Rhianna, looks like you're in the minority there).
In conclusion, looks like we have another case of the media blowing things way out of proportion!
