Texting


Texting

 

Texting can be a good way to communicate with others, but it can also be harmful for those who are constantly texting. I think texting is good for those who want to kill time in a doctor’s offices or anywhere else that would be rude to have an actual verbal conversation. Also texting with friends or relatives while your family is asleep is a really good way to communicate because you don’t want to be loud and wake everyone up. That’s happened to me once, I was talking to my best friend on the phone while everyone was asleep and my mom came in my room and snatched my phone right out of my hand, ever since then I’d rather txt someone than talk on the phone.

Although texting can be helpful at times, most of the time texting is very harmful and can lead to death. I’ve heard various stories where young adults have gone into very bad car accidents due to texting and driving, but then again some people just don’t see how harmful it is especially when you’re driving with others in the car. You’re not only endangering your life but the lives of others. It is also a big deal for students. A lot of students get too caught up in their texting when they should be caught up in their school work. In high school I was always one to be texting in class or texting a lot in general, but as I became a college student I hardly text anymore due to me not having as many acquaintances’ as I did before and I am too caught up with school, work, and personal things.

  1. i think you have a very good point when you say" You're not only endangering your life, but the life of others". It is true u can cause a very big accident and put others life in danger while texting and driving.

  2. I agree with it causing accidents. People need to understand that a text can wait while you're driving.

  4. I don't think texting is as dangerous, rather, people are do consumed in their own worlds and sometimes make harmful mistakes because of not paying attention.
