Question

Are there too many kids obsessed(著迷的) 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 friends, it's hard to get their attention when they are texting. People seem to like to text more than talk.

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.

Guilty (羞愧的) About Texting Too Much

Kids are really obsessed with texting. When I text my friends, almost all of them answer 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 time 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.

Get physical Training ---Get off the phone!

A lot of my friends, as soon as they got a smart phone, texted or got online constantly. Spending that much time on a screen is not healthy for you or your brain. Personally, I’d 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 them next time -- you don 't have to spend all your time texting.
