Only 1 percent of kids aged 10 to 17 have shared images of themselves or others that involve explicit nudity, a nationally representative study found. Roughly the same number said they’d shared suggestive but less graphic photos; while 7 percent said they’d received either type of picture.
This is a bit from some research that Gawker quoted in their piece Actually, Teens Are Not Constantly Sexting Each Other. But, um, hello, they totally missed the MATH part of this. 1% have shared, but 7% have received! Proof that teens — though not sexting as much as everyone feared they were — are still good at passing along gossip.
