"If anything, sexting (which can involve teens sending nude images to one another) seems to have become even more common among teens and even pre-teens, Prof. Shaheen Shariff of McGill University’s Faculty of Education, told Yahoo Canada News.

“It seems to have become almost a normative activity among kids that age,” she said in an interview Monday.

“It’s not the type of thing that be stopped. We can reduce it but I think a lot of the time we’re going about it the wrong way because we’re trying to address the symptoms without looking at the root causes of why it’s happening.”"
