I Have A Bone To Pick!

Entry Oct 29, 2018

Should kids of the ages of 11-13 have cell phones?

Well, should they? I say no but I am just a grandmother and it was different back in my day. I was born in 1945 and of course there were no cell phones. I am sure my dad would have loved to have had one working as a laborer, well digger, carpenter and a few other jobs. We had a party line (that was interesting).

But, back to the point. Kids get attached to these things (cell phones) and it is like a leech grabbed on to them. They are mesmerized by them. They can't hear you and then they get "smarty" as if they have gain some new intelligences, or ? However, I can see the benefit for parents keeping in touch with the little munchkins! So, what say it you?
