I will pick her and friends up from a movie and all the way home you hear click click click.  They are texting each other all the way home.

She's talking to someone, but not her parents, teachers, or family. This is unhealthy, and I fault her parents. A 15-year-old may need a cellphone for emergencies, but not but not to take up every waking moment, or as a substitute for interpersonal relationships. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Angiebaby]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 27th 2008 7:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Text-Addicted Teen Sends 15,000 Messages a Month]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/06/26/text-addicted-teen-sends-15-000-messages-a-month/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/06/26/text-addicted-teen-sends-15-000-messages-a-month/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hopefully she stops the text messaging before she starts driving!!<br>There is a newly released film titled "DISTRACTIONS" that was written and produced by Kevin Craig West of MoBetta Films.

I only send 10,000 a month, my GPA is 3.8, I play basketball at the local YMCA, and hang out with my friends at least once a week.<br><br>Just because she sends 15,000 texts a month doesn't mean she doesn't have a social life.  Maybe instead of pointing out other people's faults, you should look at your own, and find a way to fix them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Aaron]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 27th 2008 4:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Text-Addicted Teen Sends 15,000 Messages a Month]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/06/26/text-addicted-teen-sends-15-000-messages-a-month/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/06/26/text-addicted-teen-sends-15-000-messages-a-month/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think thats pretty co0ol.

A lot of people text that many times a month. I don't know how this is supposed to be "news."

Last weekend we took her to an amusement park, and all day I couldent say she even knew where she was at. After 2 hours she didint even care, she kept finding places to sit down so she could "catch up" on all the texts that she kept getting. <br>In my eyes it took any magic of the experience of the trip from her life, and when she was asked how her visit to the park was she said "it was ok". I told her the next time we take her anywhere the phone cant go, so she can return to reality. When I was that age you embraced the moment, todays kids are wired the wrong way.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2008 5:29PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
