Precious – don't put yourself down for being unable to use these stupid, small keyboards. I am a trained keyboard operator who has worked on qwerty keyboards since the early 1980s and I simply cannot use small keyboards. I 'touch type' so just don't know where the keys are! In fact for answering text messages I use my laptop Mac to do a reply using e-mail, save as a draft, access that on my phone, then copy and paste back into the text message. That is far quicker, for me anyway.
As another poster suggested, get yourself a tablet as that might be better.
Also I notice your comments about not getting on too well on here. It takes time, quite a lot of time to 'get to know' people in real life and on here it's just words on a screen so not exactly easy. Just give yourself a chance, take it one step at a time. Mostly there's a good crowd on here, you will no doubt find those you can get along with and those you cannot, that is just how life is.
I don't set out to be liked or disliked, it is important to me just to be the person I am. However, people seem to like to engage with me, I don't seem to be ignored.
