Sexting may be the new norm for teenagers. That's according to a new study from the University of Texas.
According to a report in the Washington Post, researchers followed a diverse group of adolescents over six years.
They found that sexting is not linked to risky sexual behavior. They say their findings suggest sexting is becoming a part of growing up.
The group behind the research says parents who discover their teens are sexting should not be overly worried. They say it should be used as a springboard for important conversations about sexual health with your children.
The research was published in the journal Pediatrics.
