opportunity to think and improve
Phone calls are 'real-time'. There you have to respond immediately. For teenagers it feels like pressure. On the contrary, texting gives them time to think. They type their message, read it, delete it if it is wrong and then choose the most appropriate word and send it. It makes them feel safe.
Texting gives youth complete control over conversations. They can reply whenever they want and end the conversation whenever they want. Ending a call can sometimes be awkward, but sending an 'emoji' in a message can end the conversation beautifully.
Today's generation is fond of doing many things simultaneously. While talking on a call you have to give your full attention to one person, but while texting they can listen to music, do homework or watch Netflix. It fits perfectly into his lifestyle.
fear of phone calls

Texting is not just an exchange of words, but it has become a way to express one's feelings in a polite way. However, real human connection comes through voice and facial expressions, which emojis can never fully replace.
