What female, 14 years of age or otherwise, would want ANYTHING to do with this bald-headed, horny old fart? Why do these teenagers give their cell phone numbers out? Teachers run a tremendous risk by calling children or students, and an even bigger risk by having their numbers in their address books on their cell phone. Text messages don’t always end up where they are intended to be sent. I once sent my wife a text message that also went to a mutual friend of ours. What if I were a teacher and had mentioned sex in such a text message?
