When I was a teenager...

Telephones play a vital aspect in the world of telecommunications, and why won't it be especially with so many people relying on this device all over the globe in order to communicate with each other. People are so dependent on it that one cannot imagine a world without telephones. I for one shudder to think if telephones all across the world were to disappear into oblivion. How then, can we call for our favorite pizzas? How will we talk to our loved ones far and near?

However, walk into any household and a common sight of a teenager talking on the phone will greet you. He or she is most likely to be huddled in one corner craddling the phone and talking to his or her friends without a care in the world. There is nothing wrong with this, except IF your teenaged son or daughter misused the telephone by talking incessantly. Then again, teens will teens, or can they change their habits overnight? 

Ringing up a storm

Sarah (not her real name) says the rebellion started when she and her husband limit their teenaged daughter's talking time on the phone.

"Lisa would be talking when we left the house. And she'd STILL be at it when we came home hours later!" said Sarah.

Sarah's husband added: "And she'd insist that she was talking to a different person, but the point is that she has been talking for HOURS on end!"

Their phone bill came up to an astronomical amount month after month. Finally she couldn't take it and limit the talking time by installing a phone with built-in timer. But the annoyance of having her phone calls cut off got Sarah's daughter behaving even more rebelliously.

"Stop hogging the phone, Sis!"

Lisa's parents are not the only ones feeling the pain of having her constantly hogging the phone. Her older brother too was annoyed with her irresponsibility and rebellious streak, what with her misusing the phone without a care for other people's feelings.

"When came downstairs to use the phone most urgently, she was right there on the line. My pleas fell on deaf ears. It was MOST infuriating," said her fuming brother.

Prepaid calling cards may be your best bet

With these problems faced by parents and siblings to rebellious teenagers everywhere, it is evident that they need a solution, and fast. If you find yourself in this discomforting predicament, you may want to give your teenaged son or daughter prepaid calling cards. These cards offer a cost effective solution for phone-hogging teenagers. Personally I have nothing against them, after all I was once like them too. :) But rather than punish them and forbid them to communicate with their friends, what you should do is allow them the freedom to talk using prepaid calling cards. Not only are the calls more affordable but you can also keep track of how much you spend on phone calls. Your teenaged son or daughter will also be more moderate in their day to day phone usage.
