Explanation:

The person doesn't say anything about "maybe" or "somewhat" to indicate that teenagers use texting.

Text messaging outshines all other means of communicating on teens' cell phones, with one third of them texting more than 100 times a day. Around 72 percent of all teens, or 88 percent of teens who own mobile phones, use text messages to communicate.

Just 25% of teens spend time with friends in person (outside of school) on a daily basis. For many teens, texting is the dominant way that they communicate on a day-to-day basis with their friends. Some 88% of teens text their friends at least occasionally, and fully 55% do so daily.
