No Cellphones For Kids
by Henri M., 9
Kids that are 5 to 11 really want cell phones because they want to watch videos or to go on social media . Cell phones are getting really popular but kids from 5 to 11 should not have cell phones because of bullying, inappropriate situation, and vulnerability.
Kids could be bullied on cell phones.For example a kid could say on his cell phone hey you should not be friends with him and then the kid that is accused won't have any more friends.The consequences are that a kid could be isolated.
Kids could see something inappropriate .For example ,your friend could say hey let's watch this video and then on the video you could see someone naked.The consequences are that your friends will keep showing the same video and then you will be exposed to some things that you aren’t old enough to understand yet.
Kids are vulnerable to strangers. For example, someone could text you on the the phone and say “Hi, I loved your video of you scoring in soccer. Where is your club? When do you go there? At what time?” Then if you tell him or her all the answers and then they can kidnap you.
I think kids should be patient and wait until they are 12 or more.Kids could say it sucks to have to wait so long but it is worth it.
