Hello ,

First of all just mention your age for this question.

Second with whom you are doing all this chatting (Sexting) is also very important , i mean to say boy or girl ? With concern or without concern ?
Which kind of language you are using ?
What is age of other person ? etc..

To share , talk or trying do so , all are punishable act under IPC & Information Technology Act, 2000.

Here i am not going in detail without necessary information. Hop you will get my point.
