Tweens and Texting

Hi everyone!

The EOG’s were long and tiring as usual but I did survive them. I actually felt sick on the first day and ended up going home after the test was over. The second day I still felt pretty bad but I survived the whole day, and the third day was the shortest test (only 28 questions) I felt much better. The EOG's were hard, tough, and LONG but I finished in one piece.

Did you survive too? Leave me a comment and let me know. J

Now for a tween topic that I’m very passionate about:  tweens and texting.

I wanted a cell phone for a long time, mainly to text. A few months ago, I finally got an iPhone, so exciting! So grown up.

The first few days, I got everyone’s numbers and texted every spare minute I had. I thought it was so cool but then I realized that texting is (in a way) um… not so cool.

This people is how tweens text:

First, tweens will text you a MILLION times until you respond. Then until you respond, they will text you, “Text me!” (Which BTW, doesn’t make people want to text you back.)

Some tweens will text unnecessary stuff like: I <3 UNICORNS (which is okay until they text you that over and over and over).

And sometimes there are some mean things said about people through texting too. Like, believe me, I’ve heard everything like: omg she so ulgy and annoying.





Mean right? I don’t want people texting like that about me. Plus, if I gossip, most likely my mom will take my phone away for like… forever.

So, I have some solutions that have taught me how to deal with texting:

1.)  If someone texts you “Text me” just respond with a “Hey”. Maybe they just need a friend to text right then.

2.)  If someone talks behind someone’s back, change the subject or bring the attention to the good stuff about the person.

3.)  If someone texts you I<3 UNICORNS or something like that just say, “ok… so do I” and then change the subject.

4.)  Play the happy game. I made this up and my friends like this. You just text back and forth happy words like: giggles, pink, sparkles, or rainbows.  Anything you can think of that makes you happy, it gets people in a really good mood. You can borrow my game, it’s so gone global. J

Ok so, be the good person. Don’t say something mean or could end up losing your friend (or your phone). Use these solutions and tween texting will be enjoyable.

Texting can be annoying and can drive you crazy but it’s a good way to communicate with your friends. We can make it a positive way.
