Take it This is still the mantra of many schools across the country that succinctly summarizes the policy concerning cellular tele bring forwardular telesound phones in schools in essence, they ar banned. Yet, most teenagers be tight inseparable from their cell phones, not because they argon constantly talking, precisely because they are connecting with their friends through and through text communicate.As a phenomenon, this was originally unprecedented and unpredicted, especially because text message capabilities were designed strictly for erratic phone companies to communicate with their customers. Teenagers, digital natives born into a world rich in technology who tam p ubiquitous computing for granted, tend to lead the way with most technologies, and text messaging is no different. The universality of text messaging has placed populate in positive and negative situations. On the positive side, text messaging is employ as a source of information and reminders.Even the parents get to learn close to it from their kids . Whereas on the negative side, teenagers are comfortably distracted at school. quite of paying attention in classes, students are texting away. Ive seen this happen a muss in college. Especially in high schools, this leads to falling grades, and poor fib cards. Some kids are up late messaging their friends, which experts think could constitute a signifi thunder mugt impact on sleep. What are some of the set up that texting is having on teen age students?That is the question that our group explores in this paper. We endure surveys and take a look at scholarly and periodical articles, aspect to find some of the powers tha t the modalityrn day texting phenomenon is causing. We examine the impacts that texting is devising on our manner of speaking and physical composition skills, the impacts on teenagers and their social lives, and the dangers of texting and driving. Review of Literature2,3 through and through a review of literature from diverse disciplines and some(prenominal) scholarly and popular media, we examine two questions 1.How are teenagers using text messaging in their everyday lives? 2. How rear end text messaging be used in fosteringal settings? Mode of Inquiry Modern cellular phones stool non-finite applications that allow them to act not only as mobile phones but alike as music, video, and game players, cameras, global positioning systems, and devices that provide accession to the internet and a host of applications. For this particular analysis, the focus is strictly on teenagers and young adults (ages 11- 21) using the short essence service (SMS), or text messaging capabil ities.It does not include the use of SMS to post to Facebook, Twitter, or other social networking sites, as that would require the receiver to keep up access to Internet to read such messages or post replies. Teen Use of textbook pass Reasons for Use Teenagers have adopted text messaging as their primary form of text-based chat, preferring it dismantle over e-mail (Lenhart, 2009) in that respect are several causalitys for the popularity of text messaging. First, it is quicker adolescents have found that by texting, they can forego the normal chit-chat involved in phone conversations.One teen stated that even for a quick question, youd have to go through the niceties of greetings and spend quantify talking about other things (Faulkner Culwin, 2005). text messaging is to a fault cheaper, because messages are generally supercharged by the message, not the phrase count. In contrast, the cost of a phone conversation varies as it is charged by the minute. Also, the location o f sender/receiver does not affect the charge. numerous teenagers pay their own mobile phone bills, and pay-as-you-go plans allow them to budget to a greater extent accurately (Faulkner Culwin, 2005). Finally, many teens state that text messaging is more convenient.Phones can be switched to silent mode, so they do not disturb others, and allows texting to be done surreptitiously and away from parents or teachers (Grinter Eldrige, 2001). E-mail is the preferred mode of confabulation for school or work, but when teenagers want something that is fast, immediate, and can be done anywhere texting is preferred (Lev-Ram, 2006). For teenagers, the cell phone is almost unendingly with the person, so it is constantly accessible. Being small and silent, the cell phone is easily transported and used furtively under the supervision of authority, as compared to email, which requires a information processing system (Thurlow, 2003).Many teenagers have reported that they percentage a computer with family members or that it is in a common area of the home so instant messaging and email can be observed (Faulkner Culwin, 2005). In addition, because the phone displays both text and sender, the user can choose when and if to respond to a message and has metre to compose an appropriate response. Girls, in particular, often invite others to jockstrap them compose their responses (Faulkner Culwin, 2005).Reid and Reid (2004) have also theorized that another part of the attractiveness of texting is the opthalmic anonymity it seems to afford, especially for socially anxious people, as the texter does not pack to see/hear the recipient. In addition, it provides almost perpetual contact for those who are lonely. Lohnes Watulak (2010), drawing on the work of Thurlow (2003) and Clark (2005), sites the desire for constant contact as a significant reason for undergraduate students to text during class, even if they roll in the hay that that texting is rude and the content is triv ial. Need for reputationWith general overview of todays society, cell phones are becoming a modern day necessity among teenagers. The reason why they are in so much demand is because of text messaging which is the most popular mode of discourse these days. The need to study this particular topic is to find out the impact of this mode of communion on teenagers, both positive and negative. And also to see whether it is actually a necessity or just a trend which is followed because of its popularity. In this look into we are also going analyse the future impacts of text messaging on teenagers.How mobile companies are using the increased use of text messaging to their advantage is also discussed in this question project.

The institutions are finding it hard to argue with this habit of teenagers as it is leading to a lot of distraction and also paren ts are worried because of falling grades of their kids. The speculativegest issue of all is that student are not ready to detach themselves from their mobile phone.Thats why even if institutes and parents come up with a solution to the problem, it is next to impossible to put through it.

ConclusionCell phones have become a modern day necessity, to the signify that they are a must have for every teenager. Teenagers are get increasingly attached to the se devices, depending on them more and more for their communication with their friends or family. About 80% of teenagers text on a daily basis. Many of the people I surveyedreceived their first phone between the ages 11- 15. They also started texting asyoung as 11 and as old as 17. Teens have created a whole new language throughtexting which researchers refer to as short message service (SMS) language ortexts. Everydaystudents are adding words to the language.Some of the SMS language some believe texting has a negative effect, positive effect, or does not have an effect atall. Through our research we analysed that texting had some impact like students could share information and other important notices. Also it has proved to be a less expensive mode of communication and parents also got to learn from their kids. Whereas there are numerous negative effects like the grammar of the students is affected to a great extent. Also students have started using short forms for words to lighte n space and time. Another big risk is Morphing and sending unwanted pictures of girls which leads to big scandals.It has even lead to bad psychological impact on students. irrespective of above mentioned effects students find it very important these days to have a cell phone and to them it is more of a blessing thus a curse.
