Children should not use mobile phones as recent study indicates that children at age who used mobile phones were prone to Repetitive Strain Injury or known as RSI.

RSI, the symptoms of which include pain and immobility in the joints, nerves and muscles from the fingers to the neck, is caused by repetitive movements and fatigue resulting from natural stresses and strains on the body.

Isabelle's mother Jane Taylor, 40, said her daughter was "constantly" texting on her mobile but that it wasn't until she was diagnosed with RSI that the extent of her texting became apparent.She got the phone when she was six and she's constantly on it.

British RSI Association Quotes:- "We're talking about people making hundreds of tiny repeated movements as they use the mobile keypad". "Because the movements are small they do not cause the blood to circulate, and that means the fingers are acting like an engine without oil." he added. The effects include the painful swelling and inflammation of the fingers and thumb.
