When I was thirteen, I was happy to have a phone in my room, but my children have one better. My two boys each have new Sprint Rumors.The upside of this was that they were free with our contract, but Che` has already left his on the bus and gotten it taken up due to texting in class.
I like the idea of being able to get in touch with him whenever possible, and now that he has this phone he doesn't need a camera or an Ipod for now.
It is interesting that The Hendersonville Star newspaper recently wrote an article about cell phone use in school.
Although there are positives and negatives, I am happy with the decision to allow my children to have cell phones. I happen to enjoy the texts I get that say, "I luv u mom!"
