Does your teen have a cell phone?

I'm a reporter writing an article about teen (ages 12-16) cell phone use. I'm looking for a few parents and their teens who would be willing to be interviewed about it. Anyone interested?

Thanks,
Fiona

Both my girls have cell phones--and I love it.

At this point my 13 year old ds does not have a cell phone and I don't see the need for one.We live in a small town and he isn't allowed to go hanging out at the mall or walking around town,at least at night.I do see that in a year or two,the time will come where he will need one.About 50 % of the kids in his school have one.I think a 13 year old should be close to home in their own neighborhood anyway,and if something happened,they should know someone where they can knock on the door and ask for help.


Just my opinion


Have a beautiful day
