Question 10

does texting affect teen anger?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: While I have no studies to prove it, i believe it does. Texting has replaced face to face communication and learning to problem solve with another person. We often say things in text we would not in person, so i believe it could affect anger in people not just teens. Promoting talking not texting is helpful. It needs to be balanced in this day of information technology.
