Teens texting, and their parents. Two opposing forces so to speak generally in constant conflict and for those of you without this bothering problem keep equally close attention for this is still important information even for you. Certain parents and guardians have seem to have a inner compulsion to tell their children to socialize face to face or vocally rather the endless streams of tittering text messages. Though there are good reasons for this interaction one component of this digital trend is misunderstood to a small degree, in particular I mean the conversational aspect of it. Like I mentioned there are benefits to socializing in person or, at a minimum, vocally via phone, but a parent asking their son or daughter not to digitally communicate because they're not really socializing would be incorrect. They'd be incorrect because conversation through cell phones, computers, smart phones and various other electronic means are in fact healthy social interaction, in fact, a social butterfly in cyberspace will show an equal number of people skills to a social butterfly that conversates in person though, obviously, in different areas of social interaction. So to say, on a greater level looking down on the subject, the idea that any form of communicating other than face to face interaction is bad or in any way not a healthy form of socializing, is a fiction, more actually a stereotype rather than anything else. In a simpler statement, when it comes to humans socializing it isn't a matter of how the communications are taking place but rather the degree or amount of socializing taking place as well differentiating topics contributes to gaining a healthy set of people skills but, of course, that is an uncontrollable piece of the grand scheme of things. On my finishing statement teenagers as well younger generations should be encouraged to converse in any means so long as they are in fact exchanging their own thoughts and ideas and thinking and replying to other living beings, and if any reason not to use these forms should be along the lines of physical harm because socially there is rarely any harm taking place and if anything skills being developed to benefit these youth in the future.
