Very Dangerous. Just like it is for everyone else. Statistics from AAA (I believe) have shown that every 2 seconds your eyes are off the road your chance for a crash doubles (4 seconds x4, 6 seconds x8, 8 seconds x16, etc).

Texting is possibly more dangerous for teens because they generally lack the driving experience that adults have. This means that if a text message causes an experienced driver to make a small mistake, they may be able to correct for that elsewhere. If an inexperienced driver makes a mistake because of a text message, they may not be able to make up for it.

Our ads are meant to show teens the horrific things that can happen if one makes the decision to text and drive. Certainly these things do not always happen but they sometimes to. The goal is to pursued some of the youth to not kill themselves or their friends as they drive, but obviously you are not getting that message.
