Subject: RE: When should a kid get a cell phone?


Valley, NE
my 17 year old got one when she started driving at 14/15 and the 12 year old and 10 year old will get one when they start driving. We don't use vehicles as a status symbol, so all of our stuff is old junk, and my kids will need to call when something doesn't start or breaks down. When my oldest started driving we got her a hand-me-down phone that didn't charge well, so it had to stay plugged in in the vehicle..... This was by design. She finally got the point where she needed to have one be more mobile on her person, so we bought her a nice newer one off the Verizon refurbish site for a couple hundred dollars and she cracked and broke it in 3 days..... hence why my kids will start with junk and if they can prove to take care of it, they'll get upgraded.

My whole philosophy might go up in smoke next year when the oldest graduates and the other two aren't old enough to drive and get themselves to school and activities.
