Texting is a Tool for Writing

Recent studies show that texting can help with writing and spelling.  An average teen sends at least fifty text messages a day.  No matter how short the text messages are, it is an opportunity for teens to write.  Back then those opportunities weren't available.  Teens don't see text messages as a tool for writing.  We just send messages back and forth with stories and drama that is going on in our lives.  In my opinion, I find this true.  I send tons of text messages a day, and noticed that it has really helped with my writing.  I can sum up a story in a certain amount of words and it also expands my vocabulary.  I think much faster and can jot down a bunch of ideas in a short period of time.  This makes my writing more effective, and I am sure it helps others too.

My Opinion On Reading

I see people all of the time walking around with a book in their hand.  There are tons of people who spend every chance they get reading a book.  Even if it is just for one page and then put it down.  I am one of those people who will never pick up a book after I get out of school.  I believe reading is boring and a waste of time.  I don't have the patients to sit down and read words.  I would rather sit there and stare off into space. I understand that you can learn a lot from reading and you can enjoy books if you have a big imagination.  Books have never got my attention, and I can't read them outside of school.  In my opinion, there are far more important things to do than read.  Some people tell me that I should read a certain book because it's amazing.  I have no doubt that it is but I am not the person to take time out of my day to read.  One of the biggest books that my friends tell me I must read is the Hunger Games. I hear everyone always talking about it and passing the book around after someone is done with it.  There has even been some people who have finished that book in a day!  To be honest, you probably couldn't pay me to read a book.  No matter how good they are, books don't interest me.
