The study, published Monday in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, also found that teen “sexting” is strongly linked to actual sexual behavior.

Netflix's One Day Is an Irresistible Romance
A lot happens in the first two decades of adulthood. We learn to live on our own and pay our own bills and build our careers.

Sexting in Middle School Leads to More Adolescent Sex, Study Says
Younger students are no different than their older peers when it comes to sexting, a new study reports.

Sleep-Monitoring Apps and Beds Should Keep You Up At Night
Your bed could be watching you.
OK, so not with a camera. At least not yet.
