Texting May Be Taking A Toll

 In the article, "Texting May Be Taking A Toll by Katie Hafner" the author is discussing how texting is a huge distraction on children.

Do you think that this generation of children is getting affected by texting?Who you limit the amount of time that your child is on his/her phone?

Well according to the survey took by Dr. Martin Joffe, many students have been sending over 1,000 messages a day. Which means that sudents most likely are staying up beyond the time that they should be sleep. Which means they are not getting a good amount of sleep, and not having a good amount of rest can effect your school work.

The amount of text messages tht are being sent/recieved  every day at least 2,272 text messges  per month.Texting can also cause alot of problems such as musculoskeletal disorders. A musculoskeletal disorder is a diease that effects your joits, liaments and etc.

 I think that children should not be on their phones for a long period of time, i think parents shouldn't have their children on there phones 24/7 , because of the problems behind texting.

I also think that parents should keep an eye one HOW many message they are sending a day and who they are sending the messgaes to.

Teachersshould also pay careful attention because while the students are in class they are pretending like they are going in they book bag and they are really textin during calss, and not getting their class work done. Which is making most students fail.

Do i blame the Teachers? .... Not really because the children should know when is a ok time to text, and when it is not.

Do I blame the parents? .... Kind of, because they should be more awhere of who they children are texting, how long they stay up at night texting, and how many messages they children is sending a day.
