[quote=Anonymous]Why can't she have even a flip phone? Not today after the school issue of course, but soon. When we were kids, there were pay phones and you could ask to use the school phone etc etc. That's not the case now. It's a safety issue IMO to not have a phone - a 13 year old is surely away from you regularly. We did get our 12 year old a phone (iPhone because we gave in to the peer pressure, i will admit that). But she has no internet, no social media. It's a communication device to talk to her friends and text her friends. No expectation of privacy and I can see everything. I know that it's your DH who is opposed but maybe the safety issue will convince him. Phones are a big part of socializing these days, sadly. [/quote]
