Girl, 13, sends 14,528 texts in a month

SILVERADO CANYON, Calif., Jan. 11 (UPI) -- A California father says he discovered his 13-year-old daughter sent 484 text messages per day last month -- one message every 2 minutes of every waking hour.

Greg Hardesty of Silverado Canyon, Calif., told the New York Post his 440-page cell phone bill revealed his daughter Reina had sent an astonishing 14,528 text messages.

"First, I laughed. I thought, 'That's insane, that's impossible,'" said Hardesty, 45, a reporter for The Orange County Register. "And I immediately whipped out the calculator to see if it was humanly possible."

Hardesty said Reina had messaged a core of "four obsessive texters," all girls between the ages of 12 and 13. Luckily, he was on an unlimited text messaging plan or his bill would have been $2,905 at a rate of 20 cents per message, the Post reported.

Hardesty told the newspaper he and his ex-wife have placed restrictions on Reina's cellphone use, ruling she cannot text after dinner.

When it comes to texting, it appears Reina has much in common with a New Zealand teenager. It was reported last month that Hannah Brooke, 16, of Wellington frequently uses up the 6,000 messages she's allowed each month and borrows phones from friends to keep on texting.

Talk about obsessive texting! And she's killing tons of trees, as well, with the 440 pages cell phone bill. Jesus.

If my hands and fingers didn't hurt so fucking much lately, and there weren't a risk of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Arthritis, I would sure as fucking hell try to set a Guinness world record and beat her at texting! Srsly.
 
this 13 year old girl needs to get a life. :roll:

as someone who has severe cts in my left hand and mild cts in my right, let me tell you it is *no* picnic.
 
That's crazy to send so many texts in one day. I wonder why she can't talk on the phone only to text? It's insane to have that many text in a month :eek:
 
Far out, that's crazy to sent so many texts in a day. :-o Lucky it is unlimited texts for sure.
 
Occh :eek3: I can't do that... I only use prepaid cell phone to contact my hubby & son mostly... friends for emergency only.

Why can't the parents use prepaid or flat-rate cell phone instead of unlimited cell-phone for their daughter?
 
aww don't you guys remember lots of teenagers love to be on phone all day and all night in the house in our old times. :shock: how typical of teenagers use hours and hours on mobiles, especially girl teenagers. :fruit:

Thank god that these mobiles have parental control nowaday that parents can control to pay $$$. Poor teenagers. if they wanna be on mobiles hours and hours, then they can find any odd jobs to pay for their mobiles. :giggle:
 
being on the phone all day is one thing (particularly if you have an unlimited calling plan). texting is another -- especially when teenagers do it when they're in the same room with each other.
 
Is that becoming the preferred way kids communicate lately? If I had that much to say, I would use a voice call! :lol:

She probably did most of it in school.

To get answers for tests, ask which boy is clean, and many more that you don't have to "vocalize".

:P

PS. I even saw a deaf mother texting her daughter while we're playing poker and she was sitting behind me.

PFFT, LIKE I'D BE FOOLED. Beside texting helps your response to things. Ex. If you get hit by a ball in the head, you'd be quick to catch the ball after hitting your head.

this is why schools and universities ban cell phones from classrooms. children, teenagers and young adults use them to cheat on exams.

i've never heard of texting increasing one's response time. that's a new one on me.

But the phone is much smaller, it's kinda hard to see it in the back of the classroom.



It's a joke. Texting do not do anything but damage your hand.

i wouldn't be surprised if a teenager tried using that as an excuse (i.e. texting increases your response time) in order to get a cell phone from his/her parents.

...and you're right. as lucia pointed out, texting causes arthritis and cts.
 
LOL I love how teenagers creative ideas that are sometimes useless but killing their times when they are bored at any where.

what about going to the mall or to the movies? oh, that's right. we live in a world of playstations and dvd's. :lol:
 
Wow! I hate typing on the cell phone, it take forever, even a sentence.
