[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Our 7th grader [/b]has a smart phone but everything is disabled. So right now he can text but even that we limit. We know smart phones are an extreme detriment to kid's mental health. I think there's a way to find a balance. Allowing a phone that texts and increased freedoms as they get older and show that they can be responsible... access to you tube, netflix with time limits. Social media is so destructive to kid's mental health. As an adult I can't regular my cell phone use and am an addict...as are most americans...it's even worse with kids. They have the rest of their lives to bury their nose in their phones.[/quote] 7th grade is not high school. This thread is about HIGH SHOOL kids. When you have experience as the parent of a high school kid, then you can come back and tell us how easy it was on your kid to not be able to do things with his friends.[/quote]
