IS TEXTING REALLY A PROBLEM FOR TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS

" it's a huge issue, and its everywhere," said Deborah Yager, a high school chemistry teacher in Castro Valley. In the article "texting may be taking a toll" by Katie Hafner study find that American teenagers send and receive an average of 2,272 text messages per month in the fourth quarter of 2008, according to the Nielsen Company. So how many text messages do you think goes out in a year with the new technolgy of this year ?


When this problem about texting to much started physicians and psychologist began to worry about the teens who over text in a day, about it leading to anxiety, distraction in school, failing grades, repetitive stress injury in hands and sleep deprivation.


Physicians and  Psychologist began to worry on teen who over text because it is leading to distraction in school and failling of grades because students are texting in school and after school when they schould be using that time to study. And they do it at night and makes the effect there sleep. 


Teacher are offen warry on what students are doing in class but some teachers say they don't see when texting in class happens. some teachers say when its happening i not going to take my time every day and take each students phones. Some parents don't know that student are up after midnight texting and they won't know because students are being sneaky and putting there phones on vibrate waiting for there phones to light up to relp to the text.


In my opinion I thnk that students should limit there texting hours durring school time.

If you were a parent of an teenagers or young adults would you limit the amount of time that they are on the phone? If so what would you limit the time to and why?
