[quote=Anonymous]My 11 yr old 6th grade girls have been complaining since  they were 8 yrs old that everyone has a phone except for them.  This is definitely the case now and I am still holding out.  There is an alternative solution to every reason parents say they give them a phone early.   My daughters chat with me during the day using Google Chat on their school laptop and WiFi.  They wanted to chat with their friends who have iPhones?  They have MacBooks and iPads at home and just gave their friends their iCloud account email address and they can add that to the group chats or text them individually using that...works just like having a number.  I'm holding our until 8th grade.   My 8th grade son has one.   My girls have been at events specifically set up for kids to mingle and socialize and all the other girls are on their phones recording TikTok's and scrolling the whole time.  Our school had to ban phones at recess because no one played anymore they jut sat and stared at phones.   I ban social media but my son has shown me th many ways he gets around the controls and still accessing them.   Definitely do your best to block Quora, Redditt, Discord and Twitter if you can to avoid the adult and porn content.[/quote]
