The main idea from the article by: Katie Hafner called ''Texting May Take A Toll'', is that most teens in 2008 were sending over 80 texts messages a day.Which caused teens to not work hard in class and fail also, it caused a problem in adolescents development. According to the Nelson Company.
     Sherry Turkle, a psychologist at Massechusetts Institute of Technology, has studied that teens in the Boston area (which she studied at for three years) said that texting might be causing a problem in the way adolescents develop. She says, '' among the jobs of adolescence are to separate from your parents, and to find the peace and quiet to  become the person you decide you want to be.'' She also says, '' texting hits directly at both those jobs.''
     A reporter named Greg Hardesty from Lake Forest, California, says that his 13-year-old daughter, Reina, sent up to 14,528 texts in one month. She would be able to keep her phone when she goes to bed and waits for a yext to come in. He wroye an article about her in the newspaper, The Orange Count Register and since then her volume increased to 24,000 text messages a month. Then her parents toke her phone and ever since her grades has improved and she got her phone back.
     My opinion is that maybe her parents should be more responsible (as well as the teen) and take their phone or give them a limit to texting.When I text on my phone I get my phone tooken by my mother at 8:oo because when I used to text alot, my mother took my phone because I was failing in class and my mother decided to do something about it, and ever since I've been doing good.
