Hey I am 18 and I do see a problem. I got my first phone a year ago, and during the time I didn't have a phone I felt very "disconnected" to everyone at school I felt "isolated" cause everything had each other's numbers Facebook etc if you ever wanted to do something with someone they will chat that way instead of verbally. So I did feel out of place for a bit but the good side without having a phone was that I enjoyed what the earth has to offer, the nature of it, etc. this generation lovw there electronics and I feel it's fine to chat on the phone but not when your with company, and I think some people especially when there young early teens use there phone inappropriately and can bully easier cause hey are behind a screen so they feel "safe", can send inapricate photos etc. The electronics we have are a great tool, but when they have it too young I feel it is being used to its advantage. Although I am one voice of any opinions

PS I'd love to hear from kids about their social media experience. Maybe you could use this site to talk to other kids in the same boat.
