"txt" messages


Text messages are taking over people’s social life. At least that’s what most grownups say. Most people tend to communicate with people via text messages than having a face to face conversation with them. People worry that all of these text messages will soon affect people’s social skills. Personally I don’t agree with that because most teenagers do tend to revolve their life’s around text messages but just because they text all day long doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t go out and interact with their friends. We just don’t have enough time to hang out with all the people we know; therefore we need to text some of them instead of having a face to face conversation.
I love to text, especially when you are trying to keep in touch with friends that moved away or with friends that go to different schools and you don’t get me see often. One thing that does bother me about text messages are the people who send them. I hate having friends that are always on their phone when you are with them but as soon as you text them they take forever to reply or they don’t reply at all. With that said keep on texting but don’t get too caught up in those text messages and forget about the people that are there for you whether you text them or not.

  6. Maria, what a great view on face to face interaction over texting; who has time to spend with every friend or family relative every day to have a conversation. Your point was well taken. Furthermore, you’re so right, slow texters or repliers do suck!

  8. Texting is nice but sometimes you just want to have a conversation with friends without a text inturuption.
