Kid sends 14,528 text messages in a month

[D-rock]

Remember the good old days when parents would just use the television or some video games to keep their kids occupied and baby sit them so they didn't have to spend time raising them?

My ex did 25K in a month, but she had unlimited texting so it didn't matter.

I could see how someone could text that much, if all they send is simple phrases like "omg" "wtf" "lol" etc... One of my other ex's used to send me shitloads of messages in response to something I said to her with those stupid internet acronyms or whatever the hell they are. That pissed me off, what a fucking waste of a text. Oh fuck I hate those imbecilic things... Why can't people use REAL words, I feel dumber just looking at that "lol" shit.

It may be a text every two minutes but dont forget that they count both incoming and outgoing.

when I was 13 the last thing I would have wanted was a cel phone.

Me and my friends didn't want anyone knowing where we were or what we were doing.
kids today are assholes, stupid fuckin assholes
I almost feel sorry for them.

What happened to the responsibility of parents?

I blame them for not teacher her the correct way to use her phone and the value of a dollar.

I'm not sure if a child really needs a phone. I'd say maybe one that you buy a card for. Then they can learn how to use their minutes wisely.

I don't believe sixteen year olds need to drive. Move the age up to eighteen.

With school, homework, chores, eating dinner, etc...I find this to be something that would be damn near impossible to do. Not 100% impossible, but damn close.

In order to rack up 14,528 texts within a month, she would have to average a brand new text message, literally, every 2.22 minutes for an entire 30 days. Is that possible? Sadly, yes. But, is it believable? Eeeeeh...:dunno:

I think it's about impossible to do. Unless she was texting while she was eating and so on.

Completely possible. I can send off 30 texts per hour without breaking a mental sweat.. and I dont even have one of those kool keyboard phones. Slap a keyboard on it and you could probably up it to 180 per hour at max usage. (Chatroom-style text messaging)\

I was the same way. When we were that age we wanted nothing to do with phones/parents/gabbing away all day long, we just went about our wild ways and that was that. This generation has no imagination whatsoever and can't even pull away from fucking guitar hero long enough to read a book or go for a walk. Sad.

yeah, all this chatting and talking and texting is just soooooo stupid.
Go out, do something, the best years of their lives(maybe) and their fucking around with a telephone all day.

To me, its just another sign of the end of the world.
