Teens Text Every 10 Minutes, Study Says
A Nielsen study has shown that Teens are receiving and sending text messages every 10 minutes of the day. This is an 8 percent jump from last year’s survey that amounts to over 3000 texts per month. The Nielsen cellphone report from the second quarter of the year found that girls are texting much more than boys as well.
There’s more, though: teen females send an incredible 4,050 text per month, while teen males send an average of 2,539 texts. Teens are sending 8 percent more texts than they were this time last year.
Other age groups don’t even come close, either; the average 18 to 24-year-old sends “only” 1,630 texts per month. The average only drops with other age groups. However, in every age bracket, the number of texts sent has increased when compared to last year. Texting is a more important means of communication than ever.
