Reply to "The effect of cell phones on over parenting"

I agree with the way the author was talkng about cell phones, as it is almost hte same thing that happened to me. My mom increased my brother's and my own texting plans to unlimited, and since then, she has been non-stop texting us, making sure we're doing ok, asking if we need anything, and constantly reminding us to stay on top of our work and prioritize. I think this, in fact, causes kids to study less, simply because students feel like rebelling against their parents occassionally, and this is one way to do so. Even in their mind they should study, but just hte fact that their parents are telling htem to makes them not want to do it. It is very similar to my own situation, but since i can talk to my parents normally, and tell them to stop talking to me so much so i can concentrate on what i need to do, instead of being told what to do, it has worked out very well of late.
