Is Excessive Texting A Cause Of Concern In Teenagers?
Hi doctor, I got a question about teenage texting. My son is 17 years old and he spends a lot of his time texting, it seems like he is soending the whole day but really it is just like every 5-10 minutes but it really bothers me how much time he spends texting. Is it normal for a teenager his age to be texting that much or am I exaggerating?

Hi,
Teenagers being hooked to mobiles is a universal phenomenon in developing countries. It is bad for posture especially neck and eye sight.
If it is not affecting day to day life or his academics, then it is not so worrisome.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
