Are Your Kids Extreme Texters?

Their thumbs move like lightning over the keys, tapping out shorthand messages to their friends. They do it when they wake up; on the way to school; at school; once they get home; while they do their homework; and before they go to bed.

Despite their possible near addiction to their electronic companions, extreme-texting teenagers often say the phones do not get in the way of their lives -- they are just a part of it.

Kimberly Garcia, 15, sends more than 28,000 texts every month and once racked up a $700 texting tab before her parents got her an unlimited plan. She's got no plans to slow down.

"I don't think it's extreme because, I mean, everybody does it," she told "GMA."

For Preston McVey, 17, who texts a relative scant 24,000 texts a month, texting does not interrupt his life. It just exists alongside it.

"I wouldn't say it interferes that much," he said. "I mean, it didn't stop me from doing anything. I don't take time out to text. I'll text while I'm doing other things."

McVey said his parents don't necessarily like his texting habits, but don't mind as long as his schoolwork is unaffected.

McVey's mother, Shelley McVey, was awed at first by how often her child texted. Her son even fell asleep recently midtext.

"I think it's extreme," she said. "I don't think it's affecting his schoolwork currently. I don't think it's affecting a lot of things he does. ... And I thought, 'Well, that is his free time. That's how he chooses to spend it.'"

She said the family has rules about when texting is inappropriate: It is never allowed at the dinner table and never in church.
