What I Know About My Topic

                                               
Texting may be really fun to some people. But, if you knew what it can cause to your future, it could change your mind about texting so frequently. From an article in Teen Vogue magazine, I learned that texting can cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in your wrists, and thumbs. Carpal Tunnel is like arthritis, but it can be far worse. This syndrome is caused by texting or typing too much on an electronic device. If teenagers’ would put down their phones, they could easily by-pass this effect. Another effect on teenagers texting so much is brain damage/ or cancer. Phones give off radiation, therefore the more they use a cell phone, the more you have a chance to get brain cancer. I know some teenagers sleep with their phones right beside them, and I think this is horrible because you should be relaxed when you are sleeping. The radiation from a phone is quiet dangerous, and should not be taken lightly!
