[QUOTE="1905, post: 282075, member: 2668"] I think this type of behavior contributes to lonliness and depression among kids today. It's probably much easier to type a response, then to say in person what you want to say. Kids while typing or texting can be more self-confident, have a more well thought out response and the important life skill of looking someone in the eye while speaking is not needed. I'm only thinking like this because I have a easy child who suffers from depression. He never talks to a real person, just sits on the computer and phone and types or texts people and never sees them. He has entire relationships this way. No human contact needed. So unlike how we grew up. [/QUOTE]
