In your CSS file, try this:

textarea {
  width: 100%;
}

That will make all textareas the width of their enclosing box, which in most 
cases will be the full width of the "content" center column.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
