Whats the point of texting someone that is right next to you? in my opinion texting is only useful if you have a job that is loud and you cant here the person you are talking to on the cell or he/she cant hear you. other than that its a cell PHONE. and it should be used as more of a phone. how ever i am getting of topic all i can say is damn.

Why on earth is the girl texting to her best friend who is RIGHT next to her? The generation is now losing verbal communication.

Holy crud! I'd have a heart attack if i had a kid and found out. Thats insane lol

[Denim88]

Call me old fashioned, but I prefer the 'face-to-face' method of communication when it comes to communicating with people near me.

But yeah, I personally don't have a cell phone, although I've been borrowing one of my family member's for this winter break, and I hardly use it. I'll be honest...I don't think I could text that fast...no, I KNOW I couldn't. It's disturbing for someone to be able to text that much. Heck, I'd probably be telling my kid to get a paper route or something if they want to spend that much time texting if it's not an unlimited plan so they can help pay for the bill.

Geesh, before long, people will have a hard time talking to their own friends face to face. It drives me nuts; people EVERYWHERE are always on their phones. I may be overreacting a bit, but it freaks me out by how many people are walking around texting. My own friends used to have their phones go off every other second, and then they'd go wander off to text back for ten minutes while I sat waiting for them.

...yeah, I was ranting. My apologies. Moral of the story, texting isn't bad, but there should be a freaking limit on how much one does it. There's a wonderful thing this girl should try out: it's called life.

I prefer that too. I rather either chat online or have someone call me on the phone to talk, not texting every single minute.

*Nods and agrees* Indeed :3

Woah! What. The. Hell. That girl's crazy, texting a BF right beside her. COOKOO! If they had a regular texting deal, that would abeen 26905 bucks a month (I think. I forgot)

[Nee-sama]

ing kids these days.
I don't have a cell phone either, so I am right there with you Denim88, even my sister once asked me "how do you live without a cell phone!?"
I think the best part about this story was the last 3 paragraphs in which we learn that her father texts 900 times a month and the only restrictions her parents gave her were "no texting after dinner"
WTH kind of punishment is that!? It's like they didn't even put any thought to it, or don't even care that this girl texts obsessively. I imagine she sits through all her classes passing notes back and forth on her phone and probably gets away with it because of decent grades from homework and test scores.

You know what I use my cell phone for?

It's an alarm clock.


I couldn't imagine texting that much.

[True]

I'd say its more of a bill error on AT&T's part. Happened to me junior year in high school when it said I had 2000 texts instead of 200 (which was the limit). Largest cellphone provider in the U.S. is bound to make a numerical error based on the millions of people they have to keep a tab on.

And wtf how can you text that much on flip phone? I found it hard to text with a number pad and rather had my friends call me. Though with a Black Berry and a QWERTY keypad its wayyyyyy easier to text and I find myself doing it more now then before. Still don't like it when people make it a text conversation spanning over ten texts; that's when I prefer a call.

Lol @ Denims post. He sounds like an old man talking about the 'good ol days' before they were televisions or computers.

You know what I use mine for?





Nothing, because I've never had one.
I'm with Denim88 on this one.

XD I AM an old man at heart True. Have you forgotten this? :cookie: Hence the reason why I always refer to the younger kids as 'the next generation'.

Darn kids and their cellular phones and hip-hop!

[psycho666]

Wow, its kind of sad to think about really, already at 13 having a whole article written about you for how much of a life you don't have.

[FullmetalNinja25]

That....is sad lol.

Should I be considered in that category? XDDD

Although I usually act / sound like an old woman, myself whenever it comes to stuff like this. Since I seem to be 'old-fashioned' in my family's eyes... this so-called 'next generation' is way beyond my league. Or not. XDD

However, I'd rather talk to someone face to face than do something like that. Text when it's actually needed, which is why I can't stand when a friend texts me something when they can just call me up. Or if it's not anything too important, look me in the face and say it next time we see each other. Is that so hard to ask? DXD
