[quote=Anonymous]We got ours one at 13 and I wish we'd waited. She was the last of her friend group to get one though. Literally, the last one in any of her friend groups. Coaches were setting up team chats and she was left out. Kids were setting uo plans and she was left out. I didn't care but I did feel for her. I found it pathetic that kids that young were so obsessed but DH was pressuring me to do it, saying she was gonna be a pariah. I was going to wait until 8th. She was in 7th at the time. She's going into 9th now and is a total addict. We've locked it down as much as possible. They don't take their eyes off of it, yap all day if you let them. Hold out if you can, but know that it's a very, very tough thing to do. Set a lot of rules around its use and learn how to lock it down early and often. [/quote]
