  • aren't suggesting that "hyper-texting" leads to sex, drinking or drugs, but say it's startling to see an apparent link between excessive messaging and that kind of risky behavior
  • It found that about one in five students were hyper-texters and about one in nine are hyper-networkers — those who spend three or more hours a day on Facebook and other social networking websites.About one in 25 fall into both categories.
  • Hyper-texting and hyper-networking were more common among girls, minorities, kids whose parents have less education and students from a single-mother household, the study found.

  • a legitimate question to explore
  • tudy found those who text at least 120 times a day are nearly three-and-a-half times more likely to have had sex than their peers who don't text that much
  • Talking on the phone just isn't appealing to some teens, said her classmate, Ivanna Storms-Thompson."Your arm gets tired, your ear gets sweaty," said Ivanna, who also doesn't like the awkward silences.

    Today's activity is about talking about your city and the things you love, and was inspired by a YouTube video that tells a short love story. The Story is set in Beirut in Lebanon and tells the story of how two young people meet and fall in and out of love. The video though is also a tribute to the city that they both love and the things that they like about it.
