A new study by the University of Southern California finds that teenagers that engage in “sexting,” or sending sexually explicit messages or photos, are more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors.

The survey found that one of every seven Los Angeles high schoolers with a cell phone has sent a sexually explicit message or photo. And the Los Angeles teens who “sext” were found to be seven times more likely to be sexually active than those who said they’d never sent sexually explicit messages. The 2011 study was published in the journal of Pediatrics last week.

The most recent study follows a similar study of Houston, Texas high schoolers, released earlier this summer, that found one in four teens had sent a naked photo of themselves through text message or email, and those kids were also much more likely to engage in sexual behavior.

(WMC-TV) - Have you ever considered cloth diapers?  Are the first images that pop in your head large swaths of fabric, pins and plastic pants?  If so, then you need to find out how different modern cloth diapers are now.

The modern cloth diaper systems are pin-less, easy to use and better for the environment.  Another important factor to busy parents is that modern cloth diapers are easy to wash.  The fabrics used now are soft, colorful and comfortable on the delicate skin of babies.  They are also easier on the environment. 

In the United States alone, 49 million diapers per day (18 billion per year) are thrown away.  Disposable diapers go into landfills in which (under ideal conditions) it is estimated that it would take hundreds of years to decompose.   Each baby in cloth diapers will help to divert many of these diapers from municipal landfills.
