Texting: When is it Too Much? If you can’t stop texting – or checking your phone for messages – this might be a problem. Compulsive texting can take over your life, especially if you feel lost without your cell phone. Take this quiz and find out how much is too much! 1. How many texts do you send per day? * 0-5 5-10 10-15 20+ 2. Have you ever texted something you’ve regretted? * No, I’ve never sent a texting message that I wished I could take back. On a very rare occasion, I go “oops!” It happens too often. I think, “I shouldn’t have sent that.” I admit that I’m too impulsive and send a lot of text messages that I regret. 3. Are you aware of how many texts you send in one month? * Yes, I’m conscious of the number of times I text. I have a rough idea. I don’t know, but I think it’s a lot. Not a clue. 4. Have you ever gotten in trouble for texting during class or at school? * Yes. I’ve been given detention for it. I’ve been yelled at by my teachers a few times. Once. No I haven’t. Cell phones are banned in class. 5. Have your parents complained about the amount of time you spend texting? * Yes, they constantly threaten to take my phone away. Only when it’s in a place where it would be considered rude (i.e., a religious service, family event, at the dinner table, etc.) Maybe once or twice. Nope. 6. Do your thumbs ever get sore or achy from texting? * All the time. Sometimes they do. Not usually and if they did I would stop. No, never. 7. Do you text your friends who are in the same room? * Yeah! That’s what we do when we hang out! Sometimes, depending on what it’s about. Occasionally but usually only when they text me. No, I can just talk to them face to face! 8. Can you text and talk at the same time? * Yes and I’m good at both. Kind of. If I had to but not really. No, I’m not that coordinated! 9. How connected to your cell phone do you need to be during the day? * It’s within arms reach at all times and I check it constantly. Only when it rings or when I get a text. I check it once in the morning and once at night. I don’t; it stays off or on silent most of the day. 10. Have you ever sent a photo of yourself that might have been – let’s say – a bit risqué? * No, never. That’s something I would never do. Sometimes I’m tempted to do that. My friends have sent me risqué photos, and one time I almost sent one myself. Yes, I’ve sent a risqué photo before.
