Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am the mom of a 13-year old, I completely agree with you, and have told my daughter the same thing over and over. The person in front of you is always the most important one, unless there is an emergency of some kind. Now, Rachel, could you please broadcast this message to the adults as well? I’m tired of getting dirty looks from cell-phone user who are distressed because I am having a conversation with the live people around me when they are trying to have an intimate conversation at some place like the grocery store or in a public elevator. Perhaps teenagers are picking up this habit from the poor habits of the adults they see around them.
Hi Laura, I totally agree that adults need to clean up our acts as well. A lot of girls are doing this because they see their parents doing it – at the dinner table, in the car, etc. I know I am guilty myself. Thanks for your comment!
I agree totally. My friends lately have been texting while we are hanging out and i think it has become a unnecessary fad among girls. Plus I think it is the relationships that aren’t digital that really matter.
I completely agree with you and I have told my kids the very same thing. Thanks for saying it so well.
