teens && cell phones

                Its crazy to think how many people have a cell phone these days. Click HERE to see how insane some of the numbers are for cell phone usage. For and example one of the numbers is that 25% of teens 12-17 surprisingly don't have phones. That's a bigger number then you probably thought huh. I think though that sometimes they do go to far with their cell phone capabilities. Like giving their numbers out online for everybody to see so big giant creepers can stalk them and what not. Then sending messages and pictures to people who more the likely aren't who they really say they are. For an example 15% of teens have received a nude or almost nude picture of somebody they know. 4% of teens have sent a nude or almost nude picture. 17% who pay for their own phone send sexually suggestive message while 3% that don't pay for their phone or pay for some of it have done the same thing. That's not really a good thing to do because you could have total trust in that person at the time; but once something goes wrong they could ruin your reputation by sending them to family and or friends, even worse post them on the web on a social network like myspace or facebook. Another shocking thing is that 1 in 3 teens have texted while behind the wheel and 1 in 2 have talked on the phone. I don't think any body no matter what age or what their job is or how famous they are or anything should be texting or talking on the phone while driving. Although I'm sure that everybody has done that for, it should come to an end of putting other peoples life at danger. There are to many people dieing because of that. If a call or message is that important to you then you should pull over to the side of the road or into some parking lot to take it not while you are still driving. Its crazy to the amount of messages a person can send in a day. 11% of teens send over 200 a day and 33% send over 100 a day while 54% text daily.  Its pretty obvious that 72% of teens are text messengers.
