Death By Texting

I read an article in Cosmo Girl about text messaging while driving. To most teens text messaging is 'Addictive'. Doctors have recently said that there has a been more injuries to teens cause of text messaging. Not only is it dangerous while driving it can cause injuries by texting while walking, biking, riding a horse, cooking food etc. As a teenager I wouldn't ever think that texting while walking would be dangerous, but in this article they share incidents of text messaging injuries. For expample, a guy got a concussion by walking into a telephone pole while texting, a girl got first-degree burns by texting while cooking pasta, and so on. Things as simple as walking to more serious things like driving while text messaging are all dangerous. Many people have been killed because of teens texting while driving. Some states, including Minnesota have banned text messaging while driving while others are working on getting texting while driving banned still.
