Texting May Be Taking A Toll by:Kaite Hefner shows some problems that people have with texting.Teenagers send and receive 2,272 text messages in one month. They points out what may causes teenagers grades to drop, caused a disease within the thumbs and focus to be else where but where it suppose to be. Half the parents that complain about they child or children texting problem may have one they self. 

This Article includes quotes from a teenager with this experience with her parents. 13 year old Reina racked up 14,528 texts in one month. She would keep the phone on after going to bed, switching it to vibrate and waiting for it to light up and signal an incoming message. Her parents confiscated the phone after realizing her grades fell precipitously. It later states "yet she said there was an element of hypocrisy in all this: her mother, too, is hooked on  the cellphone she carries in her purse.

I think this is a very good topic to focus upon. People should be more aware of what can happen when texting. My principle is against cell phone usage during school. If she seen the phone more than once she will confiscate it. Even though we as children don't understand now, we will later thank them for all the hassle with this cell phone stuff.  

 It remind me of my 7th grade year when I had a cellular device. At that time when I had my phone I would stay up all night texting getting maybe 2 1/2 hours of sleep. I would miss out on lessons going to sleep because of the lack of sleep i was receiving . My grades began to drop when my mother was notified she confiscated my cellular device until I got my act together. I think it's similar for parents because they were once kids.
This article help me understand why its important to be more focus on sleep and other important things instead of texting a tremendously amount of hours.

This article makes me think, what would my grades look like if my parents didn't care? Parents may think why aren't my kids as responsible as I thought they were.
