Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.
We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

I think if a shop etc has a sign asking people to turn off their phones, DO IT!!!!!!!! It is called being polite, esp in a library. I cannot beleive how many people need to make or recive a call when they are in a library.
This can be sort of realted in with the suicide topic. I cannot remember where I heard it or read it but it was some great advice for parents. If you feel you have trouble communicating with your teen, text them, even if they are in their bedroom upstairs. Most teens are more likley to reply rather tahn open up by talking.
My biggest gripe about texting is when the person sending you a message formats every damn word into this bizarre 'text' language. Eg the word 'great' can be written as 'g8'......do you know how long it took me to work that out??????? I am 33 yrs old, myself as well as my friends all text people using correct grammar and English. That was it is easily read and understood by the receiver!
