Teens using cell phones!

Now a days teens are on their phones constantly, many times when they shouldn't be. For example, many teens are on their phones in some sort of way while driveing. Did you know that one in every three teens text while they are driving and one in every two teens talk on the phone one again while driving. Teens tend to use their phones in a very inappropriate way. They sext, what this means is they talk sexually through texts or send nude or almost nude pictures of themselves. It is a proven fact that girls text more than guys. This is the new technology that is causing alot of problems with teenagers. 62% of parents take their teenagers phones away as a form of punishment. I know that my parents do that. Many parents limit use of their childs phone, look at the contets, and use their childs phone to find the location of them. Only 25% of teenagers do not own a cell phone, most teenagers own a phone and find themselves in trouble with it. 72% of teens that own a cell phone text message. Also for the one's that do text message 33% send more than 100 texts a day and 11% send over 200 texts a day. But it's more than just the textingm, us teens rely on our phones for alot of things. Our cell phones are our clocks, calendars, and our way of communication. Each year the percentage of teens owning a cell phone increases. Now there are laws being made about the uses of cell phones while driving.
