text: People may use some excuses like if they're was an emergency. The school does have a phone, doesn't it? Why not use those instead. They become so obsessed with them sometimes that they become idols and we forget what's really important. If texting gets out of hand instead of working, people could fail high school, or their grades will keep them from getting into the college that they want to go to. Just save all the texting for the end of the day so that you can get done was has to get done. Procrastinating will put you in a big whole, and you'll look back and see where you messed up, maybe hoping that you had put your priorities first. By then, it'll be too late.
