A wise decision, in my opinion.

Hell no. Another thing that should be left to the parents.

Make penalties stiffer for driving while texting, make a person more liable for the damage they cause when driving while texting. Same goes for using phones to bully.

No one forces you to answer your phone. What happened to personal responsibility?

It's usually group messages, you may not see it but others do, and it leads to physical altercations.

That is not bullying. You need to get a better understanding of the problem. These kids do not block people they have problems with.

Or just raise the age for driving. Seems far more reasonable.

There should be one age for majority. Either make it 18, or make it 21. Of course to make it 21 across the board would require a Constitutional Amendment.

Sending an embarrassing picture of someone to an entire class or school sure as hell is bullying.

Social media made it easier to go for a larger audience. Now instead of just 4-5 people seeing kid thrown into a garbage can and the school hearing about it, the whole school can see it recorded and distributed.
