text: Cell phones are fun so I guess that's why kids use them so much. Not all kids use cell phones to text or talk with their friends. Some kids use it for important things like if someone forgot their money at home and they couldn't eat cause they had no money. They would use their cell phone to call home and get the money ,but they call at free time. Not in class which if they did they would learn anything cause they were try to call during class and not after.
