This New App Encourages Kids To Combat Sexting With Silly Memes

The organization, a British charity called Childline, aims to give teens the tools to defuse the pressure to send, share or collect these images. "Zipit" is a new app which offers advice on chatting safely, as well as funny responses to sext solicitations.
"Zipit helps you get flirty chat back on the right track," Childline promises. "It's packed with killer comebacks and top tips to help you stay in control of your chat game."
