Texting and High school Students For my project I chose the topic of texting because I wanted to examine the habits of high school students when it comes to technology, especially texting. I found my answers by asking random students of different races and genders ten questions about texting.

I initially predicted that all the students that I surveyed would text or had texted before, and I also predicted that not many students would follow the phone off policy that our school has put in place. Also I was curious to see who not only disobeyed that rule but went as far as texting in class as lessons were being taught. The questions had no particular pattern as far as race and gender go and I feel that most students answered honestly to the questions that I asked them. The answers that I received led me to believe that almost all students text, most people don't turn off their phone, and sadly a vast majority of people text while a lesson is being taught.
