- “The consequences that come with sexting can cause a person to feel hopeless and depressed, sometimes even resulting in suicide.”
“Just one photo could end up defining who you are for a long time.”
“Your friends and family could be put in an uncomfortable situation because they overhear others talking about you. It may be easier for friends to cut ties with you than be involved with the situation."
“Since you sexted before, others may approach you asking for more,” and, ”Others may only want to date you because they think you will send them indecent photos or clips.”
In one section, titled “A Ruined Career,” the pamphlet shows a story about a sergeant who shared a photo with a recruit, who then shared it non-consensually, circulating the photo around the unit. The story ends with a lesson for the sergeant, rather than the recruit: “All of this could have been prevented if he had just chosen not to 'sext.'"
