Message received: Students highlight dangers of sexting

Students from Co Limerick who campaigned to raise awareness among teenagers about the dangers of sexting have won the title of Young Social Innovators of the Year 2018.

The transition students from Ardscoil Mhuire in Corbally found that sexting is a “widespread problem” among students of all ages.

Using the project hashtag #keepitpg, they have been warning teenagers in a variety of ways about sexting — the sending of sexually explicit photographs or messages via mobile phone.
