The
editorial article entitled “Teens are going to extremes with texting”
written by The Jersey Journal talks about how the use of cellular phones affects
the lives of most teenagers today. It is said that too much use of cellular
phones and non-stop texting have been a phenomenon these days. The average text
messages received by a teen is around 10, 000 messages. Since the use of mobile
phones deprived students from sleeping early, it is also found out that this
fact lessens the productivity of students, thus having a poor performance in
school. It has also been observed that they have been too dependent on the use
of this gadget which is mainly the reason why it seems to be as natural as
breathing for them. These teenagers will not likely set limits on the use of
this gadget for themselves that is why parents, as an authoritarian over their
children set boundaries for them instead. The impact on the use of mobile
phones is most likely destructive for teenagers. It may affect different
aspects on the growth of a teenager, even their health is at risk if not
immediate action is taken.
The
Jersey Journal created the message being conveyed by the article. Several
techniques were used by the writers to attract its readers. One of which is
that the article is informative though it is written in an editorial form. The
message or issue on the article was too timely for teenagers especially in
today’s generation since you can almost see everyone with their gadgets and
phones on their hands. There is also this sense of pity and sadness as I read
through the article due to the fact that these inventions lessen the productivity
of people. People tend to be lazier since everything is right at their
fingertips. I believe the value of knowing how and when to set your limits left
out an impact to its readers. It is said that too much of anything is bad and
it is made true in this article as what the message of this article is trying
to impart to its readers. The message is being sent since the excessive use of
mobile phones is continuously being rampant in the age. The message is powerful
and will surely make an impact to its readers, whether parents or teenagers.
The author/s as well sent this message to somehow change the attitude of the
youth towards the use of gadgets. If teenagers will be able to read this
article, I believe the productivity of people will rise. This article is
informative and helpful for its readers. It surely leaves a mark on a person’s
perspective no matter what age group you are in. The article is well-written
and topic is thoroughly discussed. I highly recommend this article for
teenagers to read, and as well as for the parents as well.
