Texting, we probably all do it more than 20 times a day and it's most likely one of the greatest technological advances of all time- I mean I can find out when my mom is mad at me before I even get home because she's texted me~ that means I have time to get my arguments together and figure out a way to smooth everything over...We couldn't do that 10 years ago! So in a way texting has saved me multiple times. But I noticed it also ruins relationships... I go to an all girls school, which means constant talk about boys some days. And what is the number one problem these girls are having with these boys? Texting. It's always: "He didn't text me first so he doesn't like me", "He didn't reply till 3 hours after I sent the text so I'm gonna wait 6 till I reply to his", "He's just said okay. Just okay?", and on and on and on. I just want to say something to the LADIES OF MY GENERATION- Boys do not analyze text messages like we do, they do not care if they reply 3 hours later to a text message because they are probably busy, they do not think that the word "okay" could mean 20 different things to you- boys are boys they are NOT sending you secret messages underneath their text messages.
All of these rules with text messaging are ridiculous for relationships. Like a boy MUST text you first every time, I'm sorry if I were a guy texting you all the time and you never texted me first once....I'd start thinking you aren't interested. Or when girls read into every little word the guy is saying--what he sent you should be taken for face value....because that's all it is worth. As soon as girls stop allowing text messaging to rule their relationship, I'm without a doubt positive that will be one negative aspect of your relationship taken away. My suggestion to the ladies, do things the old fashion way: talk face to face with the guy or on the phone because you can learn a lot more about a guy through that than text messaging.
And to the BOYS OF MY GENERATION- you guys like to act TEN TIMES more confident through text messaging and then it's a total bummer when we meet you all in person and you are actually the total opposite of this technological persona you made yourself up to be. Please be be be BE yourself over texting (for both guys and girls). Also, not from my experience but from hearing it from other girls when you ask us to send "revealing" or "naked" or dare I say "sexy?" photos of ourselves through text messages, you are degrading all women and oh yea you're participating in child pornography. If you think that's cool or "the way to go" I'm sorry to say but boys you are wrong and that's why you are still considered boys because real men wouldn't do that.
All in all I feel like texting is the one thing that really kills all romantic relationships not only with teenagers but with young adults as well. Please please I'm begging you all, if you don't want texting to be a problem in your relationship....pick up a phone, make some plans, and go out together- it'll make everything so much easier.
