Their 100-message-a-day rate was double the level of all teenagers. The surging use of text messages bodes well for mobile- phone makers because teenagers tend to become reliant on their wireless devices without realizing it, said Scott Campbell, one of the study’s coauthors....
Just don't send any nudie shots, sweeties.
“They say that if a friend texts them in the night they want to wake up and answer it,’’ said Campbell, an assistant professor of communication studies at the University of Michigan. “Nothing really seems to bother them about their dependence on the technology.’’

Shut the thing off for the night.
