I am 13 years old, I am a straight A student. I have all my homework done before the due date. I am in Volleyball, Cheerleading, Horse Back riding, Choir, Marching Band, Youth group, Track, and taking 2 extra classes at a private school for Music. Since I want to major in music when I'm in college. I am not allowed to text at the dinner table and my texting gets cut off at 10pm every night I have unlimited texting and yet despite all the other things I do I still can manage to do 260,000 text messages a month. And yes, thats during the school year too. I know it's crazy but I do. My phone contains over 250 contacts and I know every person, but all of them don't have texting. I don't even feel like I text that much, but I think at also depends on how you text. I mean, if it's a 1 word text message like "okay" then that still counts as 1. And it depends how fast a person can text to determine how much of their time they use texting.

It's really sad though, because I have unlimited minutes too, because my parents don't have a house phone. And yet I only use about 75 minutes a month! So it just goes to show, that the average teenager can text more than you will expect, But I think how much they text does go down as they grow up and they stop texting as much once they become older like in their 20's.

My parents really don't care that I do 260,000 text messages a month, as long as I keep my grades up. I do good at all my sports and keep learning and don't forget how to write and speak english. My school starts at 8:45 and ends at 3:40 so I am not texting for at least 7 hours. Plus, volleyball practice in the morning or games after school and horse back riding at night. And I go to bed at 10pm and wake up at 6:30 for volleyball. So I am a busy person and still manage to do that many text messages. I don't know how its possible especially with all that I do. I just think that it's getting out of hand with teenagers and how much they really do text, So I have told my parents that next month they can take texting off my plan, and I will no longer text until I can control how much I do a month. I think that it will be good for me and maybe teach some other teenagers like me a lesson.
