RE: What is the best age to get a Phone
Interesting post @bigram13, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the topic. Although I think the"right" age to become responsible for a cell phone certainly depends on the individual and circumstances, I also think there is such a thing as too young. In addition, I am not a fan of parents handing their kids their phones as a form of entertainment either. I think this tactic often translates to a missed opportunity to connect in a meaningful way.
Ya, I just see every other day some kid killed themselves do to online bullying, and one of those things used are phones. They control a kids life, and are the most important thing.
hmmm...interesting point, though honestly I think the whole bullying thing has a lot to do with the amount of time and attention these individuals are given during which they feel valued. As with all matters, there are many variables, and I certainly do agree that children being glued to a small screen in search of acceptance can often be more debilitating than empowering.
