Teenage girls and SMS

It's amazing how the world has shrunk to using abbreviated text messages instead of picking up the phone and cut to the chase. This seems to be a prevailing problem with teenage girls, not so much boys - who probably prefer to 'not speak' or be 'social' at all.
Give them a phone and they will immediately use the sms. I don't know what there is to sms. One word "K" is one text message - wouldn't it be more sensible to load the entire message so that it contains everything that you need to say?

I have experienced this love affair with the sms before and the trend hasn't changed one bit. A teenage girl can do without make-up but not without a mobile phone. I feel that that is probably the reason why they fail terribly at other things - and that the modern day 'woman' has lots to grapple with, once they actually grow up which usually occurs when they get married later in their lives. The shot-gun marriage or marriage of convenience doesn't count as a real relationship.

I'm sure telcos make millions just from SMS text messages - more than the actual phone call bills. It's no wonder, teenage girls do not speak all that well these days anymore.
