Something practically ALL teens do that they're addicted to, and so they lack interpersonal communication.

Unbeknownst to the others adding definitions, it is much easier to send a text than to call someone (maybe you just do not have any friends?). In the same amount of time it takes for the person to pick their phone up, you could have sent of multiple texts.
Secondly, nobody texts like: OMG WTF IS UP yoooo?Most kids now have smartphones (Blackberry, iPhone, etc.), which have full QWERTY keyboards enabling us to talk in a more literate manner.
Lastly, kids are learning in schools and parents do not really care if our face is stuck to our phones. We may be texting in school, but most, if not all, know how to do this little thing called multitasking. Kids really do not want to fail at school. We learn, get good grades, etc. Those that are failing are not failing because of texting. To succeed in school requires a certain mindset. Texting does not get in the way of that.
Texting is a more convenient way of communicating. A lot of people bash it because they're morons and cannot deal with change. That is all technology is, change...
These same people hated the change to DVD and now the change to Blueray. These same people bash social networking, emailing, navigation, etc. Hello, newsflash! We don't need to write letters and mail them anymore. There aren't people working in rooms connecting calls anymore...it's 2010.
We do not need to waste minutes of our lives speaking to ONE person...

1. Jimmy: Hey, what's up? Would you like to go to the mall later?
Joey: Yeah, let me ask if Sarah wants to come. I'll meet you by the Starbucks.
2. Me: Father can you bring my lunch and wallet to school before you go to work? I forgot them on the dining room table.
Father: Sure, anything else?
3. *Kid texting friend whilst sitting at his desk listening to teacher lecture*

Somewhere along the lines, humans got lazy. And like everything else, writing has been getting worse and worse since the 1960s or so. These days we are so robotic and so hurried that we have neglected what used to be an art so we can be more efficient. Texting, is the death of writing, video is the death of radio, autotune is the death of talent, and pencreatic cancer is the death of David Bowie. In fact these days I try to use big words like pancreatic, so I don't get lazy. I try to listen to older music (and trust me it's better). Time is not always progress, and texting is proof of that. We went upwards from cave drawings and hieroglyphics to calligraphy, to cursive and regular handwriting, then down to texting. George Orwell was right with his 1984. "New-speak" is more simplified. We even have a list of banished words, slowly killing expression through speech, how's that for a shrinking vocabulary. In short, texting is humanity trying to go extra fast by killing expression and as many letters as possible.
Texting, would never be used in a sentence, at least not a spoken one. No, people would try to shrink it as much as possible, to txtng perhaps. It's 2 goddamn letters yet people will do anything that will reduce the time to get the point across. The Millennium marked the coming of the end of many things, and actual writing was one of them. This is why we should go to school, because if we spent the first 17 years of our life doing nothing but socializing and playing video games, majority of the population would be illiterate. Then the first immigrant that comes from god knows where takes your potential job away. Get off the internet right now and go read a damn book if you know what's good for you.
