Are people really giving their kids phones these days in high school?

brazilcoug

12/5/16 8:03pm

Of course not. They are in fifth grade. High schoolers with cells? Crazy talk!

Tokolosh

12/5/16 8:07pm

Oh good. You had me all nervous there.

brazilcoug

12/5/16 8:08pm

Umm, even if you think it's wrong, how are you even asking this? Do you know any

fattycoug

12/5/16 8:08pm

Just because everyone has one doesn't make it right.

brazilcoug

12/5/16 8:11pm

You asked if people really gave phones to kids in HS. The answer is: ABSOLUTELY

Just because that's your opinion, it doesn't mean you're right

Lol....let us know how that goes. Your kids will despise you and hate you

I'm not on this earth to be my kids' friend. I'm here to be their parent.

kotacoug

No kidding....sounds like you have this parenting thing figured out.

kansascougar

12/5/16 8:49pm

But only for like an hour and a half per night, right?

Then they might need a cell phone so you can get a hold of them and to track

What would we do without all your life experience on CB?

Great point. You're all graced with my presence.

Again, somehow I survived high school without a cell phone. Not sure how.

brazilcoug

Yeah but you turned out weird so you might want to try something different

WDaddy

12/5/16 8:20pm

I dare you to come to my place of work and tell me that to my face.

brazilcoug

12/5/16 8:23pm

Does it have to be at work or could it be somewhere else? Like the playground?

How about at recess?

I'm sorry that you can't see the difference between the 90's and now.

Tell me why a cell phone is necessary. I survived high school without one.

brazilcoug

12/5/16 8:21pm

Do you have any association with teen agers?

kotacoug

12/5/16 8:24pm

It's the best way for parents to communicate with kids. That, and, why shouldn't they have one?

RichieRich

12/5/16 8:24pm

Well, there's plenty of reasons not to have them but their usefulness probably

So rather than a better way, you'd rather stay with a worse option? Did you have a car in high school? If so, why? Many

Yeesh. If they're having kids in high school, I'd have to guess that their kids are way too young to use cell phones.

Did you have a TV in high school? Computer in the home? HOW COULD YOUR PARENTS DO THAT!?
