[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the above. Ask to get a phone but volunteer that you will not have social media and you will have limits on the phone use. You can even have a system where the phone is in their possession and you need to get permission to use it, but at least you can be part of the group texts. I have an 8th grader who got his phone the summer after 6th grade and a 6th grader who wants a phone desperately but will have to wait until the end of the year. Neither will have social media for a long time. Both have been left out of certain things, but I am confident their mental health is better because of it. Social media is so very toxic. Try hard to recognize this is what your parents truly believe is best for you and they are very likely correct. [/quote]
