Do children need a cell phone?

[Mariya]

Hi there,

Children do not need cell phones anymore than they need an extra nose growing out of the side of their head.

I personally think that when they can pay for one with their own money is when they can have one. There for personally I think mobile phones could be banned in primary schools.

What is your opinion?

^ if you're that age and have a laptop of your own then your just spoilt and tbh children should have phones when there old enough not to lose or break them I got my first phone when I was 11 it was preaty cheap but still none the less a way a could communitcate with otheres. A year later I baught one from my own money for 5 times the price and now I'm rocking an iPhone 3gs which I baught my self last year

They already are........

You can't even have a cellphone in most highschools. Honestly kids with cellphones are spoiled rotten. My dad told me upfront I needed a job to get my cell phone and I only bought it to talk to him. Although all my friends have cell phones so thats a plus, most of them have their parents pay for it.

Most kids at the younger age are getting them, so there parents know where they are 24x7 and can remain in constant contact with them. Thus, the parent(s) pay for the service. Of course its exploited to the point that the main purpose of the phone is for friend to friend contact, but I'm sure theres been enough situations that the phone has saved lives to warrant its use.

^Some kids are spoiled, but I basically agree with the rest^

Not true, Phones aren't used to call now but to text and has the internet and I still remember one case where these 2 girls updated their facebook pages saying they needed help.

[iBotPeaches]

If they didn't have that phone to update their FB then what would of happened

 

It comes down to a very small percent that the phone actually saves lives for. For that small percent, I'd keep them for children.

If I had the chance I would take out the texting function and video function if it has one because of child protection laws.

Just remove the internet on phones. 7 years ago phones didnt have it and we got along just fine. These days people would die if they didnt have internet on them constantly.

 

Im cool with kids having cell phones but not ones that cost more than their parents car. When I have kids, they will get their first phone when they are 13, but if they want internet and texting, they have to pay for it each month.

When I have kids,

 

Sucker.

Hey. Ill buy the cell phone and pay for the basic stuff. Im letting them upgrade if they want but they gotta pay the extra.

 

its pretty fair.

[connorss]

i bougth my own phone and pay for my own plan. im 12 but i find it's worth it. i hav txting only plan for 15$ and it's fine for what i use it for.

[KarenyME]

Well my opinion is, I had a cell phone as a kid (not primary school, but middle school) because my parents liked to know where I was when I went to friends houses, stayed after school, wouldn't be home for dinner, etc. Also a cell phone is extremely useful in case of an emergency. I can see why having a cell phone would be useful even to children of that age.

[SunilSamuel]

i think there in no reason to give mobile phone children specially under 15 age....

[fattwam]

If they want a phone they should have to pay for it themselves, still have rules about it in school and such but having parents just give their kids phones primarily their first phone is just more of a reason for that kid to grow up into a cock son of a bitch.

[D.HeRo♥]

my 5yo niece has a phone, but its for a legit reason, my sister and her ex fight alot, she doesn't want him to have her number, so he has my nieces lol

[fattwam]

Also now a days you parents can get those cheap phones that only work with 911 and 1 extra number so their kid can contact them or emergency services if needed.

In Childhood no any need of cell Phone.
