Pheobe is so mature

[@AgarParth]

tbh no one can be mature at such a young age ..Kids think they have figured everything out but in reality the only way someone can mature is by experiencing stuff

[@zuperzstar]

@@AgarParth What you're saying is very true, and reminds me of this Tumblr post: "Everything is real, no matter how young you are. A seven year old doesn't feel like a helpless infant, they feel the oldest and most mature they've ever felt. And they will when they turn eight, too. And nine. Twenty. Fifty. You never feel as young as you are, because you're always the oldest you've been. You can only look back and equate childhood with ignorance and silliness, because there were things you didn't know back then. But there are things you don't know now, too, that someone older is looking down at you for." - teaboot

what if the children have a special cellphone? like in Japan, Japanese children have special cellphones that can only call or text 10 people and can be a hazard tracking device for example if you press a button or pull something on the cellphone (sorry because I forgot what button it is) it will give 10 people who are on the contact list *danger alert sms* for example to parents, grandparents, even teachers which I think is good for safety (Sorry for bad english...

[@sarawolfson586]

It makes perfect sense for a young child to have a mobile phone for emergency purposes. The point that WE didn’t have them at that age isn’t a logical enough reason to continue that trend. These days we are fortunate enough to have incredibly useful technology that is readily available to us. Why dodge the option of having a direct line of communication between you and your child? Back when cell phones were newer, the popular opinion was that kids shouldn’t get their own phone until they reach a certain age or level of maturity. But that was when cell phones were seen only as a luxury, and weren’t yet seen as a necessity. You’re probably still thinking about the fact that kids used to survive and get along just fine without mobile phones. That may be true for the most part, but I’d be willing to bet that having a cell phone for emergencies could save a considerable number of children from dangers like abduction. If you can easily afford to provide your child a with a cell phone, then why risk their safety by withholding a potentially life-saving resource? If the goal is to ensure that they hold onto their innocence, then it makes even MORE sense to send them out into the world readily equipped with a phone. Prioritizing your child’s safety in this way just might protect them from the corruption of their innocence. I shudder to give thought to the possibility that someone could take that from them.

what’s the point of having the phone then…

[@alyssacervera7663]

@@iheartrnb5697 For safety purposes. When I was younger my parents had to work a bit later so I would be in the house alone for an hour or two after school. They wanted me to have a way to contact them or emergency services if needed so they got me a simple phone that was only texting and calling.

Just because you didn´t have that stuff at the time, doesn´t mean, that that age is young. I was 4 years old and I got my first phone, the phone was with me till 1st grade (till age 7) and that phone still works perfectly, I´m sure she would be independent and would take good care of the phone.

[@cottoncloud0987]

@@-_Bel_- I'm 12 and I only got a phone when I was 11. I don't really mean to offend u but giving a 4 year old a phone is straight up bad parenting. You shouldn't expose young children to the internet it ruins childhoods. It's not about taking care of the phone it's about what they're seeing on the internet, which could be highly inappropriate, especially for age 4!!! I don't know what your parents were thinking!!! It's just bullshit to give a 4 year old a phone or anyone under 11.

[@rosalie6468]

CottonCloud ASMR But it matters how you use it. I was 8 when I got a phone but I didn’t get to have social media until I was 11. It was also so tiny and didn’t have a lot of memories. All I did was calling my parents if I needed to, calling or textning my friends on when we were going to play, and played games like candy crush. I also didn’t get to play games or watch movies until 6:20 pm, so I wasen’t on my phone that much.

[@MatthewLiuCube]

@@cottoncloud0987 11 is too young. You are still in elementary school then. If you want to be a responsible person with a phone, you should only get it when you absolutely need it. Wait till you get 18, when you leave your city to go to university. My parents told me I'm not getting a phone until 14. My 10-year old self was like you, thinking "Why?", but now, I understand why. In fact, I've seen my classmates, they are all phone addicts. I don't want to be like them. I'm 13, turning 14 in two weeks, and my parents wanted to get me a phone on my 14th birthday, but I refused it, just because I don't want to be like my classmates, who are 24/7 phone addicts. Don't fall into that trap, only get a phone when you absolutely need it.

How are people okay with a tiny little child having a phone? Phoebe's arguments are actually really good but I would still not allow a kid, especially an 8 year old to have a phone.

[@NickRoman]

I assume that the supervision and restrictions that the parent puts on the device make the difference. So the question after whether they can afford it or not is: would the kid even want to use the thing with all of the restrictions her parent would put on it? Don't forget, Phoebe already had an iPad.
