Some of the college students in my classes go into withdrawal during a two hour class where they are not supposed to use their phones.
They appear exactly like those who smoke and chew tobacco products after about 20 minutes. I regularly have to throw them out of class for texting.
LOL! Yup. Take (or try to) away some 13 yr olds cell phone and you WILL see mentally ill. My thought is IF, and that’s a big if, kids have cell phone/smartphone/I-phones etc, that if they are going to school, they turn them in at the beginning of the day and get them back at the end of the day. If they need their parents, they can go to the office and have them call. Too many of them have become overly dependent on IM/Facebook/Twitter etc. Sad ain’t it.
