Teens all around use texting for communication, researchers have studied this and it is the number one way for teens to communicate. Studies have also stated that 86% of girls text several times a day to 64% of boys texting. Most teens from ages 13 to 17 text more on a daily basis most send or receive over 3,000 texts per month.
Dangers of texting are increasing and some teens choose to become part of the dangerous behaviors. Some teens abuse these powers of texting. We have texting to communicate with one another, not to argue or go back and forth on when you are disagreeing and especially not supposed to be used to get back at or go against someone. 67% of teens today have admitted to driving while at high speeds. Their are several dangers that can put you at risk when abusing your rights of texting.
You don't see many teens these days without texting. Technology is growing and so is texting. Kids are keeping up to date to keep their parents up to date. Texting abbreviations become a problem when you are in school, work, or any formal or education situation, it effects the way you write.
