In today's modern world, technology has evolved so much that people no longer have to be face to face to communicate, some teenagers nowadays d 'today they prefer texting as their method of communication. However, many scientists and researchers are starting to believe that texting is harmful to the growing brains of teenagers and how it can affect their grammar. However, these are just claims and have no actual proof behind them, SMS does not have any drawbacks that can harm the grammar of the new generation. After hours of countless research and reading over a dozen articles about texting, surprisingly, not even a quarter of the articles showed that any sign of texting has a negative effect on teens. In the article "No Lol Matter: Tween Texting May Lead to Poor Grammar Skills" by Shyam Sundar and Drew Singel, both writers discuss the disadvantages of overextended messages in "texting language." Their claim is that the more texts you send and receive each day, the lower your score will be on the grammar test they conducted on students. They also believe that if teenagers receive too many text messages from relatives and friends, it will ruin their grammar because apparently teenagers like to imitate their friends. Although tests have been conducted, the source is not reliable because there is no evidence that every teenager tries to imitate their friends and relatives. Furthermore, there is no evidence that the people who wrote more and scored lower than others were not as intelligent as other students who did not write as much as they did. Another possible reason why people who sent fewer messages got higher scores would be because if they weren't so focused on texting, they would spend their time focusing on something else... half the paper... even if the text messaging does not have any drawback that can harm the grammar of the new generation, many other simple factors play the role of harming the grammar of today's students.
