I think texting during social situations is unnecessary. I think texting during social situations is unnecessary because if you are at a social event you should be socializing with other people instead of texting on your phone. In addition, if you are texting during a social situation you are showing that the social situation is boring since you took out your phone. However, there are some exceptions to text during social situations. An exception could be that you are texting that person once saying that you can’t text them because you are in a social situation. Another exception where you can text is if someone was informing you that there was an emergency. Remember that if you’re texting during a social situation you are blocking people out, therefore no one will want to approach you. Lastly, texting during social situation is not necessary.

I find it very rude if you’re talking to someone and they proceed to text. I think it is very rude because that person is technically just ignoring you when they should be giving you their whole entire attention. When someone is talking to you, they always deserve your whole entire attention because you are showing respect. If you continue to text while someone is talking, you are disrespecting that person. In addition, the person that is texting is giving off the impression that texting is more important that what you have to say. Lastly, whenever someone is talking, don’t text because they deserve your respect by you listening.
