Wow. Good thing you had unlimited texting. If not, I suspect you might have shipped her off to boarding school.

that sounds like obsessive behaviour
just because you can do something , doesn't mean you should

i am sure she'll grow up to be a project manager and have a crackberry surgically attached to her hands

I'm pretty sure I've surpassed this quite easily.. Although I don't use anything close to that any more, I used to be able to fill up my 300 message inbox and 100 outbox in 1 day easy.

I mainly used it to keep in touch with a bunch of friends, and I would text when I was bored throughout high school, which was about every moment.

Edit: May I add that my carrier charges 5 cents per message up till you reach a 15 dollar mark, then you've got unlimited texts for 15 bucks a month

That's only 1 message every 2 minutes, unless that includes incoming, which is one message every 4 minutes that she's awake!!

No, that's one every 4 minutes assuming she doesn't sleep.

Apparently texting during class is the hot thing in HS right now. :roll: Personally I think if teachers catch kids texting in class they should confiscate their phones until they graduate. :p

Pathetic. I can't believe people let their kids waste that much time with stupid shit like this. I text message my family when there is actually something to say, which is about 5-6 messages a month (incoming and outgoing). Try nudging her toward a productive life like paying attention in school for starters.

some stupid teenage girl got into a car crash and killed herself and 3 of her friends because she was texting while driving a month or so ago. Hope your daughter has more common sense.
