Author's note: I read over my piece out loud to make sure it made sense. I also added in a semi colon.
If we were to take a survey on
how many kids in Asa Clark Middle School that have cell phones, it would probably
be a little more than three fourths. Some parents allow their kids to get cell
phones at this age but others say they are too young and have to wait a certain
age. Personally I got my phone in 6th
grade and now it is so much easier to communicate with my friends and family.
Although there may be some cons for kids around middle school having cell
phones, I think there are more positives.
There may be a lot of positives,
but the most important one is emergency situations. If a kid were ever to need help but no one was
around, they could call someone to make
sure they receive assistance. Another good reason is for parents to keep track
of where their children go. Many kids hang out after school, but they usually
need permission from their parents. So with their cell phones, it is easy just
to call and ask.Cell phones can be used for many other things such as; videos,
texting friends, listening to music and many other. Therefore, phones are
outstanding technology and nice for communication.
Since cell phones are used in
so many ways, kids may get a little addicted to it. This may cause kids to
waste their time. Kids will text rather than doing homework. In addition to it
getting addicting , it could cause some health problems due to the bacteria on
the screen from talking on the phone. It could create skin problems if the bacteria
from the phone keeps rubbing against your face. Even the environment can get
damaged. Some people don’t recycle their old phones so it will get destroyed and
chemicals are released in the air.
There are ways that these
cons could be easily taken care of. Therefore, the positives outweigh the
negatives. This make kids safer because they can reach anyone if needed. Most
kids in Middle School have cell phones
for these reasons, and parents that let their kids have a phone obviously felt
that they were important to have.
