Confessions of a texting addict
你玩手机和上网上瘾吗
Texting back in force with nearly 50 people a day isn’t easy.
每天给近50个人发短信回短信并不是一件容易的事情。
I have to say I wasn’t an addict.
我不得不说，我发短信并没有上瘾。
But if you wanna keep up with the crowd, this 12-year-old says texting and Facebook are a must.
但是如果你想跟上潮流的话，这位12岁的少年说，发信息和上脸书网互动是必须的。
Gossip, that’s pretty much the key thing to be not invisible.
八卦，是非常难以避免的内容。
Killian was a straight A student at Congress middle school before her heavy messaging. But with every text and hour on Facebook, her grades slipped, first Bs and then Cs. She even made grammatical errors writing the letters “U R” instead of “you are”.
Killian在大量发短信以前是Congress中学一个优等生。但是总是沉迷于一条一条的信息，花费连续几个小时的时间逛脸书网之后，她的成绩开始下滑，最初下降到B，后来甚至到C。她甚至在书写“you are”时犯拼写错误，写成“U R”。
I was always on Facebook or complaining about how tired I was or texting.
我总是在上社交网站，或者抱怨发信息发得好累啊。
A Kaiser Family Foundation study shows kids like Killian, spend an average of nearly 7.5 hours a day texting or on social networking sites. Nearly half suffer fair or poor grades. Between Killian’s grades and this infinite phone bill, the Fanes decided to take away her phone and Facebook time.
Kaiser Family Foundation一项调查发现，Killian这样的孩子每天平均花费7.5个小时的时间发信息或浏览社交网站。近一半的孩子成绩平平或者分数很差。由于Killian不断下降的分数和高昂的电话费，Fanes决定限制她玩手机和上网的时间。
It was more based on a lack of oversight.
这很大程度上是由于监督失察导致的。
This principal doesn’t know the Fanes, but he agrees with Todd.
这位校长并不认识Fanes，但是他赞同Todd的说法。
It goes back to educating your child about what this tool is and here’s what the limits are.
所以要花费心思教育孩子，手机和网络是什么样的工具，使用起来应该有什么限制。
At first Killian didn’t respect her parents’ decision.
刚开始的时候Killian并不尊重父母的决定。
I would just sit on my bed and like stare at the wall or fall asleep, just like take a long nap.
我会坐在床上盯着墙壁或者睡着，就好像要小睡很长时间一样。
Several days into her grounding, however, Killian changed. She started to focus on her school work again and even her family.
但是几天过后，Killian变了。她开始集中精力学习，甚至开始和家人沟通。
My grades are like going really fast to the As and Bs.
我的成绩很快进步到A和B。
We are really enjoying getting to know our daughter again.
我们很高兴重新认识了我们的女儿。
Once all of Killian’s grades are back up to par, she would be able to text and spend time on Facebook again, but only after her homework is done and before the lights go out.
Killian的所有成绩都恢复到A之后，她可以再次发短信或浏览社交网站。但是只能在做完作业之后，晚上熄灯之前。
