My daughter's first boyfriend at the end of her junior year was extremely abusive by text. He texted her at all hours of the day and night. He picked fights via text. This added to him alienating her from her friends, activities and he eventually tried to break her from her family. Texting played a HUGE part in his abuse. Pay the $5 a month and put restrictions on the number of texts, and especially the time of day they can text (block nights and school hours). Watch the phone records. Part of his deal was keeping her up all night which really wore her down. She was totally sleep deprived. Basically adding texting to the classic domestic abuse model is a nightmare. Three months into their relationship when I found a picture of his junk on her phone, I called his mom to let her know what was going on and asked her to see what was on his phone she declined to help saying it was "his phone". My daughter was 17, he was 16. Some texts I saw were along the lines of him accusing her dad of harassing his mother at a bar (they were at a bar at the same time to watch a band but her dad didn't even know what his mom looked like). He texted her that her family didn't love her, her mom (me) was didn't love her. He picked a fight with her via text before her SAT's and all other important events and family activities so she would be sleep deprived and miserable. When we took her cell phone away he bought her a Virgin mobile with unlimited texting for $20. It was a nightmare. Anyway, texting can be another, way for people to abuse each other.

I had no idea how dependent on phones the average teen has become. I mean, I know I'm addicted, but I didn't realize how far it had gone.
