A 100-a-day habit isn’t good for you. Everyone knows that. It’s just hard, sometimes, to explain it to kids who think it’s so cool.

According to ABC News, 16-year-old Annie Levitz from Mundelein, Ill., began to sense a little disharmony in her hands. They would feel tingly, numb, or merely hurt like hell. Had she been practicing her free throws in preparation for March Madness? Had she been attempting to become Mundelein’s Chopin? If only. Levitz had merely been texting her friends up to 100 times a day.
