My question is why does a thirteen year old have a cell phone?
The only reason my sixteen year old had one was for while he was working at camp and he had to pay for it. It was taken away not long ago for texting or using it when he was at work or after our lights out. Easy enough.
My daughter gets a cell phone at 13.
No issue there.
My 12 year old daughter (honor roll last 3 semesters!) got a cell phone for good grades, but it is ONLY pay as you go, and she only gets minutes when she gets on the honor roll. Costs me less than $10 per month, but the service REALLY sux (virgin moblile) she says.
She is still happy because she is one of the cool kids with a cell phone.
At our rural school we have at least one second grader and one kindergarten kid with their own cell phone. Ridiculous!
