[quote=Anonymous]Hey, I just wanted to put it out there that it is possible to wait beyond middle school. My ninth grader doesn't have any kind of phone and doesn't want one; he hates the pressures of texting and group chats, and not having a phone gives him the space away from this stuff that he likes. He does have an iPad, which stays at home. Everyone told me that a high schooler without a phone would make athletic and extracurricular logistics really tough, but it's been totally fine so far. If anything, the logistics of a 7th grader without a phone was harder for us. Now my son goes everywhere independently, and he likes being present in the world without a device. I think this choice would be trickier if I had a daughter.[/quote]
