Kids will be kids. My son went threw the stage of wearing his pants low. He moved past it. It was a phase.
I can say at times he may talk load on his cell, He has alittle bit of hering loss due to ear infections and 5 or 6 sets of tubes. I lost count. 
My daughter texts. I have before to my kids and other loved ones. Sometimes thats the only way we can get threw to each other, Sometimes its for very important reasons
I think you all are great .
Its a wonderful life full of annoying things that sometimes have a reason

Belive me Muffy, I am a libertarian that supports freedom to the fullest but...
A few points of clarification.
I have no actual problem with cell phones in the Mall, I carry one myself and it can be a good tool when the need arises. I have no problem with someone calling to say they are going to be late or to tell thier S/O they love them. I have a problem with people speaking in earshot of a bunch of complete stangers about very private matters, it is just disrepectful to others and to the person being discussed.
If these young men had any idea where the "low" pants thing actually originated, it would stop very quickly. I cannot speak to this here in any detail as it would offend delicate ears, but if you guys want to know PM me and I will tell you. It is not for the faint of heart, and believe me though if any of you who have teenage boys knew, none of you would let them out of the house that way.
As for teenage girls trying to stuff themselves into something 5 sizes too small, well I blame a lot of things for that, including the women's fashion magazines who seem to think that it is appropriate for 15 year girls to look like little hookers trying to get a "trick" on the street corner. This is the time for parents to really be parents and show a little guidance. By all means you have the right to wear what you want, but I wish people could exercise a little restraint.
Skating is a fine activity, but not in a crowded mall. There are plenty of parks to engage in this activity in. Skating around is inconsiderate and dangerous behavior.
The heart of my rant is this. I am concerned when the future leaders of America and their parents exercise very poor judgement and lack of fore thought regarding their actions. Freedom is only good as self-discpline.
