Stand Up
A girl after my own heart:
Kimmy Lopes, 14, a freshman at Mineola High School, sent 3,700 text messages via her BlackBerry in May. She said she rarely uses abbreviations or slang in her text and instant messages. “I don’t want to get in the habit … ,” she said. “My friends think I’m weird because I write out the whole thing.”
I started doing that about 15 years ago, and everyone thought I was nuts too.
Excerpted from a longer article about the growing trend among teens to use Internet and text-message speak in school work.
