I'm not pouncing on you. Just saying there is no need for me to be jealous or sad. I thought you were because you seem so smitten by these technologies.😛 But if you say you are not then so be it. 😆

You almost looked like "The bride" from Kill bill.........😆

Now maturity and responsibility is subjective. You can't generalize and say that everyone child has none of these traits. And I think, if the child really does falter out by wasting too much time on excessive internet and cellphone etc.., he/she will automatically get bad grades, and will hopefully learn their lesson. But, then the responsibility factor comes into play: whether they care or not? For me, I do care about my grades, and would therefore spent less time online/texting.

Debu, rules are not made by keeping exceptions in mind.. i know a tall 10 year old who can drive a car veri well.....even the stick shift.. that doesnt become grounds for setting this as a rule... besides establishing this correlation is also cumbersome.. so.. put that cell phone down the drain and finish your home work...😆
