theres no need for your teenager child to have a cell phone while still in high school. s/he should be mature enough that if they go out of town they don’t need to call their parent every night-like a baby-before going to sleep, & for the times they need a phone (to send money or something else etc…) every school or yeshiva still has a payphone.
so why do our teenagers today need a cell phone? are they less mature then high school students were 20 years ago? if your gonna say anything about safety, theres an office & payphone that every school has to reach you child any time.
would love to know the full true story why a high school student of todays generation cant manage without a cell phone. we did it for hundreds of years with no issues
