It looks like you're a chatty bunch, as more than half of all 10-year-olds own their own mobile phone.

And by the time you get to 12, about nine out of 10 kids have their hands on a high-tech handset.

A study of more than 1,250 kids found most use their moby for texting more than talking, with most of you sending nearly 10 texts every day.

And they're more than just a gadget for talking to your mates, as 80% of kids said a mobile made them feel safer.

Mobile worries

And mobile phones also cause worries - some health experts reckon they might make you ill. That's because they send out waves of something called radiation.

Although there's no definite proof mobiles are dangerous, kids would be most at risk, because their skulls aren't fully grown yet.

Texting

The official advice is, that you should really only be using your phones to call people in an emergency. Otherwise - stick to texting - because less radiation is released that way.
