According to a new survey, one in seven people have accidentally sent a dirty text to the wrong person. The most common person is a friend followed by your EX. Co-workers and family came in third and fourth.
Being a teenager is a perilous time in one's life as a not-quite fully developed brain will cause the teen to make all kinds of questionable decisions.
