Teens obsessed with texting? Go figure.A recent survey by Pew Internet suggests that daily text messaging among American teens have skyrocketed in the past 18 months, jumping from 38 percent in Feb. 2008 to 54 percent in Sept. 2009.
And, get this, half of the teens surveyed send 50 or more text messages a day, or 1,500 texts a month, according to the report.
Older teen girls between 14- and 17-years-old lead the pack, with one in three sending more than 100 texts a day, or more than 3,000 texts a month.
The exception to the teen texting phenomenon? Younger teen boys are averaging 20 messages per day.
