"Literacy and Text Messaging: How will the next generation read and write?"

The writing problem today is very popular especially among teenagers. People use too much of abbreviations, symbols and numbers. Many of them forgot already how to write using proper words instead U, 2, 4 or gonna-wonna.

Today many residents and professors of any Reading associations discuss about bad influence for children by technology. But just a few from these professors say something about educational system today. Children texting and messaging a lot, but also they go to school, they study grammar and literature, they write compositions and essays, and they read classics and verses. And if kids don’t know how to write I WANT TO GO instead I WONNA it means that their parents should watch better their kids’ knowledge and school grades. My mom never took away my cell phone, but I always remembered, if I get grade 2 or 3 (in Americans’ education systems it means C or D) she will do it and not only my cell phone. I’m a student. I go to school. I study grammar, reading and writing. Also I’m texting and messaging a lot, every single day. And of course for texts I use not proper words to safe my time for texting. But my teacher teaches me what kind of words I need to use for writing and what kind of language. Also I never saw numbers instead words in my books. So, when I’m writing something, I’m not thinking how to write 4U or FOR YOU.
