My parents just got me a cell phone so I can stay in touch with them when at school and especially during after school activities. I'm a freshman this year.

Depending on what school you go to, the rules about texting are different, but I do know that texting in class is not allowed anywhere. I think it is great to stay connected with your parents and friends but please do so when the school permits. I know that it might be tempting to text during class (especially if other kids are doing it) but you can’t be focused on your studies and be trying to text at the same time. You can text before and after school and still keep connected with the ones that you care about. There are many ways to stay connected with family and friends that can be done in between classes, after school or on the weekend. You can make plans to have family time or to hang out with your friends earlier in the week, and then you can look forward to the weekend when you have time to carry out those plans. Of course, my favorite thing to do with friends or family is to be outside and enjoy nature. It may seem harder to do that in the winter but, there are many fun activities to do in the snow. Your friend, Skipper Skipper's expertise is in life outdoors, but he will also address questions about other topics such as food, school issues, sports, getting along with others, family pets, etc. So what's your question?
