TEEN'S TEXTING

                         

In "Texting May Be A Toll", Katie Hafner talks about how teens text everyday all day. The article also talks about how there are many cautions that comes with texting and how teens can be distracted by it.






The article includes quotes from a pediatrician and a psychologist. Dr. Martin Joffe, a pediatrician, says that texting late at night "causes sleep issues in an age group that's already plagued with sleep issues." Sherry Turkle, a psychologist, also includes that '' if something next to you is vibrating every couple of minutes, it makes it very difficult to be in that state of mind. These quotes means that texting during them times can leads to failure.
 I think that texting during school hours is really bad. I said that because when students start to text in class they lose focused on what they are suppose to be doing, they dont pay any attention in class.Texting can also leads to bad grades. Late night texting can be the worse on school days becuase you can over sleep your way out class and won't get what the teachers said in class.

This article reminds me of a book called Judy B. Jones. I said that because Judy B was always a distractive little girl everything she says or does get her distractive and that's not very good. Imagine her having her own phone that can just be the worse!.
This article makes me thinks that teens are very addicted to texting . It makes me feel that teens can't live without texting someone back and I just think thats just pretty said for us young teen. I hope other teenagers like myself read read this article so they can be able to relate from it.

From what I read from this article I still have some qestions on why teens thinks that its okay to text during class or a lesson? why do teens thinks if you don't reply a person back right away makes you a slow texters? why do teens worrying about who text them or don't text them during school hours why?

  1. Nice post Veronica. I especially like how you connected the article to a book you read. Do you think parents need to step up their monitoring of teen texting? 95

    1. Yes I think that parents should have perantal controls on their teen's phone for a certain amount of times. For example when their teens come home from school and before bed time , in that way their teens will stay focuss in class.
