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
