cell phones help creates text bullying in school, that leads good ole fashion shootout like the ok corral. except it’s a one sided game. ---

the current generations are not more pussy than older generations, they may have different issues and problems but that’s about it. I do not know when my kids will have a cell phone but I do know that if I am calling during school hours, it is way more important than some retarded class they are in at the time. ---

Had a principal at my old HS tell me that cell phones were used to sell drugs…HA…if someone is going to sell drugs they will do it with or without a cell phone…believe me i know! And lets do a scenario…say someone…a group of disgruntled teens starts a school shooting…there are students that perhaps could dial 911 and run…placing even a 911 hangup call is usually enough…but oh wait…nobody has a cell phone…so even more people have to die because of some stupid ass rule… I heard once that Alquida or however the f you spell it was specifically targeting western PA high and middle schools :rolleyes: if you really think they were going to target a highschool in Western PA, you might be retarded. I went to school on 9/11 I went to work on 9/11 I lived…GASP I was shocked when the rubble from NYC didn’t affect me in anyway shape or form.3 BTW, schools have pay phones, and you don’t need any money to dial 9-1-1. So you still really don’t NEED a cell phone in school. ---

Just real quick, the reason they didn’t want to let this kid get away with answering his phone in class is because something like 20-25% of the kids in that particular school have a parent or relative in the military serving in either Afghanistan or Iraq. Therefore, the idea of “well, if 1 kid gets away with it, everyone does” really does apply here. I have 2 cousins, 13 and 15, that are like a brother and sister to me. They both got cell phones last year. 6th and 8th graders do not need cell phones in school, and I really don’t think they need them at all. I fought tooth and nail with my aunt about them not having them. Now, all the sudden, they have them, they don’t answer when needed, and the bills are outrageously high. I think I made a point when I had a major issue needing to contact the 15 year old, she didn’t answer, finally I somehow got ahold of her through another friends parent, went, picked her up, and after we got everything sorted out at the hospital, took a sledgehammer out of the car and smashed that fucking phone right in front of her. Cell phones are not a end all be all solution or problem. They still require the person who owns/operates them to make the decision on what to do, so it still comes down to the person. People need to set rules and if they are broken, then there is a punishment. No what ifs, no oops, no nothing. Things would just be so much more simple and effective that way. ---

kids having phones makes it a lot easier for kids to lie to their parents where they are… if i was somewhere that i shouldnt have been back and the day and my mom had to come seek me out… i was in for some shit no doubt. i’m sure if i had a phone i would have lied and no one would thought twice about where i really was. giving kids phone are giving them the impression they have some importance and more authority than they really have. i think if you pay ur own bill and are 16 with a licence, thats when you should start having a phone. ---
