i heard the radiation from the phone is bad for you. now im paranoid because for the last few months ive been talking like..2 hours each day on the phone.
gelionie
It is. So is the radiation from other monitors such as your computer screen, the TV and so on.
mona lisa
Yes it is true. What about it?
Nicolatofu
I also heard you could get cancer or something.. Scary thought. I just keep telling myself it's a lie.
silver-rain
It's true, but the radiation is only a little, it's not a lot of radiation, so I doubt you'll die.
jennyjenny
I heard it was only cellphones? But i don't know.

And if you're a guy and you put a laptop on your lap, it supposedly kills sperm.

It depends on how you position your cellphone to your ear.

To avoid death, buy a cellphone microphone.
emazing
I've heard of that somewhere. As for the radiation from computer monitors, remember that obsessed gamer who played for 70 hours straight and then afterward, died?
Maybe it was from the radiation of the computer. :/
fallen_angel1137
I've heard that but i saw something on the news the other night that said they've studied it and they've found it isn't true.

Yeah I'll just stop putting my laptop on my lap now...

Yes, cellphones are dangerous. Along with television. Not to mention staring at the computer screen.

Everything is bad for you these days.

Wow then .. i 'm losing alot of sperm per day. mellow.gif

Please, it's not that bad. Maybe if you walk around with your cell attached to your head all day long, but it's really not enough to have an effect. Standing in front of the microwave is far more dangerous
3ssx
hmm yes its bad for you. try using the earphone. its better.
and if you're gunna talk for a long time its better just to use the home phone.

contrary to what i just said. i spend lots of time on my cell. i must use it less.
Aoiro
I did not know that.
Maybe I should cut down on how long I talk on the phone.
:s
`SWTWiNKLE3YES
yea i knew that .. my sciene teacher told us that its bad for u to use the phones too much
gelionie
^ To clear up certain things:
I read that the radiation from cellphones is not great enough to harm your body at all.

So, not worries.
Wishful_Dream
I'm not sure if it's true or not. In grade five, my friend's mother got cancer from using the cellphone too much. It might not be true though. She survived by taking an operation? I dunno. Can't really remember.
steezahh
dont worry so much about it; if it was really that bad for you dont you think people would be throwing away their phones by now. but good point to put this up as a post!
SandRAWRz
that's what my mom said to me..i heard you can;t get pregnet or something liek that
dahalfkoreanstyl
just think about everything going through us at this moment, television signals, radio signals, satellite signals, cell phone, microwave, two-way radios, wireless networks
sprezzatura
If you are really that paranoid, you should use the hands-free thingy instead. Because the antenna is where the radium comes from.
5ayuri
I don't think it is.
My health teacher told me that cell phones haven't been around for too long so the researchers don't really know.
Wow..I actually payed attention. blink.gif
WHOngos144
Best solution for a two hour convo, use the ear plug thing. :)
PinkTrash
Yeah, you can get cancer.. but then again, you can get cancer from a lot of things. I talk on the phone like 4 hours a day, whenever I have time and sometimes more. When I first heard it, I got paranoid, but oh well now.
simx
my friend told me that if a guy keeps a cell phone in his pocket it lowers your sperm count... =/ idk about that.
aeyungg xd
don't worry about it. its like that microwave myth where you should stand far away from the microwave or your brain will fry.

all these things send out bad rays, but they aren't crazily damaging unless you do it consistently for a long long long long long time.

if you stand by a microwave all day while its on for everday of your life until you are fifty, its bad for you. basically.

just don't make a habit of sleeping with your cell phone everyday until you are fifty. _smile.gif
Ambuletz
I don't really care if it's true. A lot of things are bad for you. Like, just being outside is bad for you if you live in a big city. A lot of experts have been saying that the air in your HOUSE is probably dirtier than the outdoor air. So, whatever.
lilith
well, if its gonna make you die... cellphones would probably be less marketed and more warnings for the danger...
xstab.my.heartx
i don't have a cellphone.
i feel more likely to live =)
ranniel
wow, this is really strange. I didnt know of this. Well its good, I don't use my cell as much anymore.
julianaaa
hmm. what if you sleep.. with your cellphone near your bed? like.. a flip phone; but the cover is on? like it isnt flipped open.
almost everyday, i sleep with my cellphone near my head cause it's my alarm clock. would that be bad for me?
colleen92
i heard that too but it's only a little bit. not enough to get you sick and especially not kill you.
imnoxonesmemory
hey there... ive also heard it's bad for you but hey.
i spent at least 4 hours on my cell phone (talking) everyday.
so if i'm not dead i'm shure your fine. jus check in to that. i know a lot of doctors know about it. why not jus go and ask to make shure ?!
mylittleMiracle
ya its true.but sometimes i cant control myself:P
`SWTWiNKLE3YES
my teachers said there isnt enuf radiation in it to actually like give u cancer or anythin like that
jue
it's like now everything gives off radiation o.O
cell phones, microwave, tv, computers >_>
My Cinderella.
I heard that it was. Which could explain why I wake up with a headace every morning. (Since I keep my cellphone next to my head.)
marzipan
yeah, unless you spend around 5 hrs a day on a laptop or watching TV or something, you shouldn't worry about it.
Intoxique
That's what my science teacher said, it kinda freaked me out.
Lately I have been talking to someone 4 hours on the phone, just about every night mellow.gif. I ususally talk like 4 hours a day or more rolleyes.gif.
I hope these isn't ermm.gif.
