Talk it Out: Sex, Self-Respect and Social Media - Video

Copyright 2016

The program begins with an explanation of how new communication technologies have changed the way people in relationships communicate with each other, and how its revolutionized dating and romance. Students will come to understand the difference between “flirting” and “sexting”, the exchange of sexually explicit text messages and images. In addition, the video discusses the personal, social and legal consequences of sexting. Viewers are provided with simple and creative strategies to say “no” to a request to send an explicit message. The overall message of the program is not to allow yourself to be controlled by someone else, to respect yourself and to trust your instincts.
