Teenagers are not getting the message when it comes to the dangers of texting while driving, a new report suggests.
According to a study presented at the annual Pediatric Academic Societies meeting, nearly 43 percent of driving-age high school students surveyed in 2011 admitted to texting behind the wheel.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers.

This is just the tip of the iceburg. There’s also those who take up smoking, in an age when all the evidence shows how deadly that can be. It seems as if the concept is, “If it’s dangerous, I’m all in!”
if their not getting messages it means they have no friends! 🙂
Text to them the danger of it
