Who would they talk to if theybelieved they were in an

abusive relationship?

Parents 48%, Teacher/Coach 11%, Friend 34%, Religious Leader 6%, Other 9% 

It is encouraging to see that

There is a new law on thebooks in Arizona. The SextingLaw A.R.S. 8-309 effective onor about July 29, 2010. Thislaw states that thetransmission or displays ofexplicit sexual material by ajuvenile using an electroniccommunications devise is nowa petty offense.

What this means is that if youare a minor and receive a textmessage with explicit materialthe best thing you could do foryourself is delete it and/orreport it to a person inauthority. If you forward themessage, you will have brokenthe law and if someone doesreport it, you are the one thatwill have to face the

consequences. Sexting is nice, so have the Guts To Good (Peer Solutions/StanServe Coalition) and Delet
