Texting

Before:

Prior to reading this article to I never second guessed to write or respond to a text message espcially when I should be concentrariong on somthing else. Especially when I am walkin with my head down anticipating on what that person is going to write back to me.

After:

After reading this article changed my mind about texting and now i think twice before picking up my fone to answer or create a text message. First I check my surroundings to make sure there is no potential danger. Also while im "texting" I look up like every other second just to make sure because you never know life comes at you fast!! And i never knew that people were gettin hurt or even killed while they were texting.

Despite the warnings im not goin to stop texting because thats my thing thats just what I do with my phone. texting gives me the advantage of allowing me to get what i need to get out espcialy when im not able to speak on the Phone. Often times i know and feel that i can express my self alot better in a text message instead of saying it on the phone. also i love the fact that if i have a girlfriend i dont have to stay on the phone all the time becuase she would probably be holiding me up from doing what im was doin whehter it was hanging out with friends or cleaning my room.. I DONT WANNA BE ON THE PHONE AND DOIN THAT!!!lol... thats y i have me bestfriend which is texting ;).. :) .. As long as im speaking to her or u thats all that matters right?????
