When Dad Banned Text Messaging - Well Blog - NYTimes.com: "Text messaging is a dominant form of teenage communication, but reports of cyber bullying and texting-related driving accidents have some parents questioning whether to allow their kids to text. North Carolina parent Debbe Geiger writes about the challenges of banning text messaging and whether parents should even try."
I hope you have a chance to read this article. I think about how kids communicate today...if it wasn't for texting or messages through Facebook, I would not have a direct line of communication with the young people in my life.
This article did remind me of back in the good old days on the farm in Iowa. When I entered my early teen years, talking on the phone was the thing to do. My parents did not allow me to talk on the phone with my friends for extended periods of time. I don't think any of my siblings did. I always felt like I was the only teenager not allowed to communicate with my friends this way.
