Can't send or receive pictures on iPhone 5?

I recently got the iPhone 5 and i'm having trouble sending pictures, my phone doesn't even give me the option to send the picture to other people, it just says send to Facebook, Twitter, email.etc. Any idea what I can do so i can receive and send pictures? I'm an Android girl so the iPhone is confusing me, Thanks!

Hold the home button and lock button together for ten seconds until you see the apple logo appear then release the buttons. This is a hard reset and normally sorts out loads of little niggly problems like the one you are currently suffering.
But if this don't solve the problem simply phone the network provider up because there may be something not quite right in your message settings.
Also make sure you have the 3g network turned on because picture messages will not be sent using Wi-Fi it has to be through 3g i'm afraid.
