Sexting What will we talk about today?
Activity: The red bra Dear Agony Uncle, I am a 15-year-old boy in year 10. Last week something strange happened to me. There’s a girl in my class called Jill. Jill and I are friends, but that’s all. She’s not my type – she’s too confident and bossy. Anyway, Jill sent me a text message with a photo of herself in it last week. She was wearing a red bra and the text said ‘want to see what’s underneath?’ I was very embarrassed when I saw her again at school on Monday. I don’t know what to do. I still have the photo on my phone, my friend Paul is pestering me to send it round – the boys want to have a look at it. What should I do? Cameron
