Did you know that your teen knows a language you may not? It’s called text messaging and believe it or not they have all types of acronyms for them these days, but you have everything to fear now with these terms. It isn’t your innocent TTYL or BFF, now it deals with the dreaded topic of ….SEX. That’s right, sex texting or sexting is becoming something all parents need to know more about.
