A new poll finds 25 percent of 13-15-year olds have seen explicit sexual content online, and 26 percent have received sexual pictures on their cellphones. Of the 600 polled, 28 percent of the 13-15-year-olds have also received sexually explicit text messages.
The study also polled 800 parents, 87 percent of which said they felt their children were growing up too quickly, and 86 percent saying they believed the generation’s increased use of technology was a direct cause. The poll also found 74 percent of the parents believed the issues their face children today are much more difficult than those they experienced at the same age.
