“I didn’t see her I cried!” “Then what were you doing?” Asked the officer “TEXTING!” I exclaimed- then I realized how bad it sounded. I then realized what I really had done. That I had just killed a six year old girl over a text message as simple as “sup.”

To begin with, such as the example above it texting while your driving. This can cause many tragedies such as not seeing people in the road- we all know how this ends. So the next time you in the car and driving wait till the next stop sign or a red light or if your not traveling far, just wait. You can even just if the person next to you if they will just send the message for you.

Also, imagine if you were just driving along being a safe responsible driver- and all of the sudden a little twelve year old boy is walking across the road with his head down in his phone and you slam on your breaks, and the boy doesn’t even notice that your there. Now I don’t drive yet but if I did I would probably honk the heck out of my car if someone did that to me. All he had to do was wait till he was at the other side of the road.

Texting can be harmful, just like many other things in life. So please don’t sent a text at the inappropriate time, it could save a life.
