 * Summary:** This article is showing people the percentages of teen texting today. More then half of teenagers are using text messaging to contact their friends. They say they would rather text them instead of having a conversation on the phone. Today, teenagers are sending at least one hundred text messages a day, or at least three thousand a month. Although, texting is still used more frequently then calling. The main thing that teens use calling for is connect with their parents. The typical number of usage of calling on teen cell phones is five times a day at least. It varies for different races. Girls are most likely to use there cell phones more then boys are. Most of the time parents or relatives are paying for the teenagers cell phone bill entirely. Most teenagers don't pay anything for the phone. Teenagers need to learn the dangers of texting.

Facts:
1. One in three teens send over 100 texts per day (3000 text per month). 2. 34% of teens 16 to 17 admit that they have texted while driving. 3. 98% of parents only gave their child a cell phone so they can be in touch regardless of location.
