this article talks about how talking on the phone isn't just about being respectful to the person you're talking to but being respectful to the people you are with as well. If you're on the phone all the time while you're with people it's not respectful.

Just a bit of advice for the middle and high school students, put the phone on silent and leave it alone while you are driving because you can really get hurt!

Don't let them stay on the computer for extended amounts of time, don't let them get on Myspace or Facebook, and when they are on the computer the parents should always be watching them no matter what.
B. Middle / High School Aged Students
The middle school students should be allowed a little more freedom but by the same token i don't think that they should be allowed to get on Myspace or Facebook.

Then again I think that the adults will be the best influence for the young kids and if they will try and spread the word for the kids they can do anything for them that they want to
