That’s about the age we start letting them do somethings without us being there.

If a girl doesn't have a smart phone by the time she's in middle school, she'll be deemed an outcast and bullied non stop. She will be looked at as completely irrelevant loser.

This will result in eating disorders, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. The system is like this for a reason. To brainwash the youth and pressure parents into caving in and getting their kid a smart phone earlier and earlier.

Never. If he wants to buy one with his own money, that’s his decision. After he turns 18, of course. Before then, it’s my decision.

13 years old. They have to earn it though with good grades and chores and if they don’t get it done, no phone. Also, they need to contribute a portion of their money to the bill so they understand that it’s not free. If their grades slip, phone goes away.

Lastly, they cannot ‘go to bed’ with it in the bedroom. Got to be charging in kitchen or downstairs.

I agree with the “social outcast” post I just read. I hate to admit it. These parents that give their kids phones when the kids are 8 FK it for the non phone kids who do get looked down on.

Tough call OP. Wish society was different but it is what it is.

Home school. Problem solved

Oldest is 12. Still no phone. No reason for a 12 year old to have a phone.

If you are having kids in this technocracy, the government/corporate already owns them. Give them a smartphone at birth. They are the system's chattel property, not yours. If you want them to be fully programmed and operational in the system, you need to have them plugged in before they are walking. Welldone btw on spawning new souls into this.

When I was 18; I had a pager that I bought myself. Pay phones were still a thing, though.

9 & 10, we like the thought that if anything happens unexpectedly we/they, can always call or text. pretty near all the kids in their class have their own cell too. Not a smartphone by any means :)
