Texting Has Become a Large Part of Our Lives

However Texting Can Be Harmful and Destructive

Kimberly  Cummings
The texting examples provided are between a man wishing to manipulate and deceive a woman. In this first sequence the man has left and is texting the distraught women offering encouraging words of his return.

I thought I wanted to leave but ur right, I love things there including you.

Ur right, you don't have to beg me. I do need to try harder.

If you want proof that I care. When I get there I'm going to give you proof cause I know a good thing when it smacks me in the face. I'm going to give it all I got.

I do care and I'm never going to doubt it again. I'm going to prove it - I admit I'm unaffectionate and it will be hard for me but your worth it.

I do care more than you will ever know. Ur a very big part to this new smile I have now and I owe u more than I could ever repay and that's the truth.

U wanna be with me always and us to be happy right?

Then in this sequence the man turns up the texting to show the woman how much pain and anguish he supposedly is in.

I'm coming back home, I can't do this hurting no more. I wanna die.

I'm an _ss and I wanna get better or die. I'm finally ready to just give up.

I know I do love a lot of people, including u and that's the honest truth.

I'm alone and afraid and sad but most of all saying just give in and give up. Stupidity won't let me.

I just needed to get away. I just flipped out and had to run but I'm coming home now.

In case I forget to say it, Thank you for taking care of me in my time of need. I'm coming around slowly but surely.

I just had to get away to clear my mind.

The next sequence is after she wises up to his lies and desperation starts to sink in.

Just be sure you want me to leave. I do care a lot about you but if I leave I will die before I'll ever come back or call you ever. So be absolutely sure it is what you truly want.

If I'm the man you want give me what I want, cuddle up with me tonight and let's quit fighting. It is your choice.

You have just a little while to make your decision but I'm saying I do care a lot and now its all on you. Make up your mind quick.

I made my decision I do need your help with things and you need a man that truly cares. So let me care and help me, I will learn not to be such an _ss. You are right I should start being more affectionate and showing more real emotion.

I admit we do need each other and no matter how much I've lied before, I'm ready to start telling the truth. I can't do this by myself I do need you to help me.

Last sequence is horrid its after the man has left and it finally sinks in that its over.

Okay I'm gone and I'm nobody to play with, the best thing is for you to leave me alone.

You want me gone.. fine. I'll stay gone and if you do anything to me remember if I find out you did it will be my turn.
Oh and I guarantee none of you will see or talk to me no more. I can promise you that.

None of you will ever see me again. Guess I'm just going to be out on the streets, homeless then.

Texting can be misleading, it can even be anonymous if you use a computer to text to a cellphone. These are only examples of how harmful and detrimental texting can be in a relationship. At least when people spoke on the phone they could hear the sincerity of the person on the other end of the phone there was more of interaction between the two parties. Texting has made interaction far to robotic and impersonal.
