A sociologist says she believes claims many U.S. teens are using their cell phones to send provocative photos of themselves are overblown.<\/p>\n

C.J. Pascoe, an assistant professor at Colorado College, told the McClatchy-Tribune News Service she and her research assistant interviewed 80 youngsters as part of the three-year Digital Youth Report study. She said her look at what teens actually do online did not match a poll’s claim that 20 percent of teens have sent sexy or nude pictures, a practice nicknamed sexting.<\/div>\n

“No one brought it up,” she said. “I had them go through their last 10 messages, their last 10 photos and I never saw it.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The 20 percent claim came from a poll by Teenage Research Unlimited for CosmoGirl! magazine and the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. Pascoe said she believes teenagers are doing what they have always done — at least since teen culture emerged in the 1950s.<\/div>\n
