Trouble with Texting


Cellular phones are telecommunication devices or gadgets, which we are well used nowadays. Almost everybody have it but except me. It is just that I really do not enjoy using it. I do not understand some people why they act like as if they cannot or will not live without it. At the rate of technology is moving, pretty soon the common and ordinary will be unrecognizable. Aside from the usual phone and fast charger, newest cellular phones also have headphones, a personal computer cable, a spare battery and a profitable battery charger. I wonder if Alexander Graham Bell would recognize his invention if he ever woke up from the grave today. Well, I also wonder why people use cellular phones aside from communication. We used cellular phones for entertainment. People download games. They can accommodate their favorite ring tone. They are great for taking those unexpected photographic situations when you do not have a real camera on hand. But according to the users wherein the majority is composed of young adults and teenagers, cellular phones are now used for texting in order to gain friendship from other people but through text. But do they know that texting have also its bad effects?

Quirks in spelling scare least the parents of the teenagers in bonding to their cellular phones rather than wage a battle against their child because of texting. Some situations like the family sat down for dinner or caught him or her still sending message at two o’clock in the morning, Dr. Flora Generelao, advises parents to take a deep breath and acknowledge when that the babies used to cuddle are now at an age when they view significant others. They can draw up a set of guidelines regulating the use of mobile phones. A multi-awarded model student admits that his generation regards textrates as “cool” even though they may never have met them in an “eye ball” encounter. Isn’t that hilarious? I mean…Ahh… I really do not know what this person’s point is because I never had a textmate but I think it brings excitement, I guess.

Anyway, what is textmating for me? Uhm… Textmating is like a source of fun, a source of friends and a source of enjoyment! Why is it so popular indeed? My friends said that you could gain friends through text. What if we can develop friendship? You, can share anything with them even sometimes have a relationship with them. What? Having a relationship through text? I did not know what to say but I know it is really happening! But it depends on your mood.

Remember too that we have our own responsibilities to do so; do not just face the mobile phone all day and all night long! For girls, do not ever believe when boys court you “only” through texting because we really do not know if the boy is serious or just making fun out of you. And for boys, do not ever play a damn game and...



“Never break a girl’s heart!”
