Share Our Strength - Text Your Donation and End Childhood Hunger

Here's a lesson you need to make sure your teen knows: those explicit photos of themselves they're sending via cell phone can STILL wind up on the internet. Or on someone else's cell phone.
California Teen Texts Too Much
After more than a quarter of a century as a computer programmer, I'm a pretty fast typist. At least, I used to think so, until I read about Reina Hardesty. The California thirteen-year-old managed to send more than fourteen thousand messages in a ...
Texting Teaches Teens Important Life Skills
A new study has found that teenagers are sending nearly 10,000 text messages each year -- that's just over 27 a day, in case you're wondering. One third of teens surveyed also confess to watching nearly 50 videos on line each week, in addition to the ...Want to change the world? Teach Grandma how to text
We all know that children are our future (thank you, Whitney Houston) but what do children think about our future? We Are What We Do, a British social change group, wanted to know, so they asked -- specifically, they asked about ways to make the ...
Teacher texts, talks to teen
(Click the photo for the Top 10 Crazy Teacher Meltdowns) No parent would want to have to deal with a situation like this. Your teenage daughter is acting a little odd (more so, even, than one would expect of a teenager) so you decide to check ...Is there a double standard for sex offenders?

I am pretty clueless when it comes to text messaging. I know how to do it, I just don't know about all those strange abbreviations and acronyms that kids employ to get their message across. If I cared enough about it, I could learn about them here. ...
Teen hit by train while texting, survives
I can remember when texting was first introduced, and how superfluous everyone thought it was -- "A text message? Why not just pick up the phone and call people? Sheesh." But it's become so ingrained in our culture (especially amongst the younger ...Move to ban school bus drivers on cell phones
Score another point for my husband in the will-she-or-won't-she-ride-the-bus debate. In all but thirteen states, it is perfectly legal for school bus drivers to talk or text message on their cell phones while driving the bus. 25 million children ...Quick-texting teen saves herself from intruder
In spite of complaints by educators that cell phone text-messaging is ruining the way kids communicate, it turns out those lighting-fast thumbs may occasionally come in handy. A 17-year-old Malaysian girl was woken up by a noise near her bedroom, ...Is the Internet depriving the social skills of our kids?
I sit in front of my computer screen about fifteen hours a day. It's true that I do it for work, but I have often wondered if I would do it even if I didn't get paid for it. Honestly, I "talk" to my friends in the computer, especially those I work ...
Cell phone etiquette for teens
I'm sure there are a few people out there who looked at the title of this post and immediately thought "kids shouldn't have cell phones". Though a part of me doesn't completely disagree with that, as a parent I think they are invaluable. I can get a ...
Teen drivers distracted by...texting?
There's nothing quite like sitting in your car at a stop light and doing the requisite "who is sitting next to me" look at the people around you and realizing that one of the other drivers is text messaging. Even better, the driver is a teenager. In ...
