[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, don’t do this to your kid. You are making them a weird.[/quote]
Kids who have smartphones from an early age are weird. Ever try to sit with them for more than five minutes or do anything in real life with them, including having a simple conversation about something non internet related? Their development has been literally re+arded by constant use of their highly addictive devices. There is enough evidence it’s terrible for them I don’t know why you all think it’s fine. [/quote]

This thread is abt high schoolers. [/quote]

High schoolers are still kids. And the same applies to them.[/quote]

If you believe high school kids with phones end up weird, by all means do not give your kid a phone. I disagree with this parenting choice, but it is your kid not mine. I suspect your kid will be socially isolated, out of touch with peers, pop culture, fashion, music, etc. with no phone in high school. This may not be important to you, but it is important to many, many teens.[/quote]
