Texting Taking A Toll ? Niz Khalifa !

In the article “Texting May Be Taking A Toll” by Katie Hafner talks about how texting is hurting kids. First it talks about how the average teenager send 2,272 text messages per month also how is worrying physicians and psychologists cause they could get anxiety, falling grades, sleep deprivation etc. They also did surveys in two high schools where students admit to texting in class, proving it is a big distraction for kids and teachers say they don’t how to stop it. Then go on to say how texting is effecting how kids are growing up and helping them separate from their parents. Later on says texting is also taking a toll on teenager’s thumbs because a 15 year old ninth-grader got painful cramps in thumbs and has an iphone now but text slower. I personally I think that this article is extremely over rated to make texting really bad for you. Some of these conditions are worst case sernieros that rarely happen to anyone and don’t know in what way how texting is helping you separate from your parents the article didn’t really show any examples on that. But I do agree with some points it can be real distracting for some teenagers and a little time consuming.
