teens texting

In An Article Texting May Be Taking A Toll By KATIE HAFNER, it states that texting may be a promblem for teens. and also states  teens are sending and reciving an average of 2,272 text messages per month and it is distracting teens from their homework. I think texting is not that big of a issue because even though i text i still get what i need to do done. it becomes a big deal when things happen like "Annie Wagner,15, a ninth-grade honor student in Bethesda,MD, used to text on her tiny LG phone as fast as she typed on a regular computer she noticed a painful cramping in her thumbs" this is a big deal because her thumbs can get really hurt and something could be wrong. this article reminds me of when i used to be in middle school and i use to be in class texting and never get caught. and it makes me realize that u should turn your phone off while in school. This Article made me think more about this topic in a different way because maybe you dont need your phone all the time.
