text: An average teenager in modern society has their phone with them 24/7 , you would think it wouldn't kill us to leave phone for 8 hours out of the day right? Wrong, it kills me a little inside every time I have to leave my phone anywhere. And when I'm not with my phone , I'm thinking about it. I think about all the missed texts and calls that I have which doesn't help me focus in class. I would rather have it by my side, off in class than in my locker or at home by itself for eight hours while I'm at school.
