Are too many kids obsessed (着迷的）with texting?

Texting Nonstop!

Yes, I do think kids are too obsessed with texting. Many kids I know can be in the same room or even sitting next to each other, but they text each other rather than actually talk! With some of my friends, it’s hard to get their attention when they are texting. People seem to like to text more than talk.

—Riley

Responsible Texting

No, I don’t think too many kids are obsessed with texting. Sometimes kids might just need some time alone on the phone. They probably just need to talk to their friends! I believe most kids are responsible and know when to stop texting.

—Ella

Guilty (羞愧的）of texting too much

Kids are really obsessed with texting. When I text my friends, almost all of them answer back in less than a minute. Some of my friends even get their phones taken away for being on them too much. I see my friends most of my day at soccer or at school, and even I am guilty of texting them several hours a day when I am home. Sometimes it’s better to spend time outdoors and with your family rather than with your phone.

—Tom

Get physical-Get off the phone!

A lot of my friends, as soon as they got a smart phone, were texting or online constantly. Spending that much time on a screen is not healthy for you or your brain. Personally, Fd rather spend time outside doing sports with my friends than on the phone. You can tell your friends things at school or whenever you see next—you don’t have to spend all your time texting.
