Is it normal for my friend to text me everyday?
I met this girl in my french class and we became friends. Now ever since I met her, she is constantly texting me everyday saying "Hey, what's up" Or "what are you doing" If I reply, I will say "nothin much" Then another 30 minutes (no exaggeration)she will repeat the same thing. If I don't reply she will send 5 messages asking "are you still there?" She even does this when she's with a group of friends because she will text me about how she is hanging out with them.
Frequently, on a school night, she will text me at 12:00am about how she is obsessed with Justin Bieber. I find out in the morning because my phone says the time someone texts me. Then in the morning she will ask why I didn't reply. I simply say that I was sleeping, because I was.
I can't turn my phone off at night because my mom is at work and I need to keep it on in case she calls. Can I please have advice on how to handle this?
