A Teen Addicted to Texting Sends 15,000 Messages a Month




On average, how many text messages would you guesstimate you send each month? I would say I average about two or more a day, so I probably max out at around 80 - 90 per month. Well Paige Horne, a 15-year-old from Ohio, averages about 15,000 texts a month — that's even more than what the 13-year-old National Texting Champ sends! According to NewsNet5, Paige plays volleyball and basketball and her GPA is above 3.0, and yes, she is a lightening fast texter.

"I just don't look. I guess I had the phone a long time and I just know where the buttons are and I just hit them," she said. Thankfully for her parents, she's under an unlimited phone plan where texting is included, but I can't help but ask what she's doing for all her sore fingers?
