While teens, parents, and schools embrace technology for all of its benefits to kids, there needs to be awareness about its inherent risks, as well.

Kids are learning how to master technology at younger and younger ages. While the internet and cell phones provide many benefits that previous generations couldn’t have even imagined, they can also be used in unhealthy and even dangerous ways, too.

Texting Teen Drivers

Texting has become one of the preferred methods of communication among teens. Because they are so adept at texting, and can do it so quickly, its not uncommon for teens to multitask; texting while eating, doing homework, watching TV, and even, more dangerously, walking or driving. Any activity that compromises a driver’s attention can increase the likelihood of an accident. Teen drivers, who have logged less hours behind the wheel and often lack the judgment that more experienced drivers have, may underestimate their ability to operate the car safely while texting. Since automobile accidents are a major cause of death among teens, and distractions are a contributing factor to most accidents, the explosion of texting among teens is likely to have an impact on teen driving fatalities.
