Confessions of text-obsessed parents
(CNN) – There's no question about it, teens and pre-teens are generally the titans of texting. Remember that 13-year-old girl who sent over 14,000 texts in one month?

I must add to my comments on this July2,Friday. Is there any better trio of journalists than Kiran Chetry, Christine Romans, and John Roberts. I really enjoy starting my day with you three. Have a happy and safe July holiday!
I was moved by your story to actually write in and nominate Kiran to be our example and see what changes she can make in a month's time.
Please then do a follow up story on Aug. 1 and we can see the changes she's made. I plan to mail her some info on cell phone usage that I know will help, so I will need Kiran's street address at CNN. (That's why I listed my small town and state above so she will know who it is from when she gets it in the mail....
And if someone could reply to my e-mail address listed above and let me know, I would appreciate it.
in fact, maybe the child almost getting hit by a car in the story was because someone left the gate open...
John,
Having an unlimited data plan has little to no effect on texting. Data only pertains to texting when sending an MMS (multi-media message,) or "picture message."
