As a teen who went 16 years without a phone, I will get my kids a phone by 6th grade so they don’t have to experience what I went through with not being able to talk to friends and getting embarrassed when you must do a phone activity for your class and you’re one of the only kids in the whole high school without a phone
Ok but remember to teach ur kid to earn that privilege by being helpful, doing well at school and being well mannered. Don't let them be spoiled rotten because then they will not respect your boundaries and treat u like a doormat.
Im 11 and watched this out of curiosity. I dont have any tech (im using my dads phone) and honestly i dont think banning you kid from tech solves anything. They just steal your phone fo use it. I say give your kid a phone with a 2 hour limit on it or somthing like that.
I love this guy he actually read my brain I am the only one in grade 8 without a cell phone and I can't communicate with anyone and when I ask my parents to get me a phone there answer is Strange they say I don't know and also say ur sister first but she already have a phone😥😢😪
It’s because our parents are old. They don’t understand how important phones are in this modern world. I’m going into 8th grade and I don’t have a phone. All my friends do and they communicate and I am cut out from it all. It sucks. My parents dont understand why I need one and whenever I ask my mom goes “ why do you even need it”. She just doesn’t get it because she didn’t grow up in this modern world.Hopefully as this generation becomes parents that will change. Besides, I got an iPad at age 4. Whats the big difference between a phone and an iPad?
My first “phone” (not really) I got it when I was about ten and it worked for about four months and I was charging it and it never turned back on Edit: I am watching this at like 9:00 p.m. don’t tell my parents lol
I’m 11 almost 12 and I’m getting my phone on Christmas because my parents think I need it to be able to contact them when no one else is with me. I don’t need a phone I like iPads better but all my friends got phones in like 3rd grade
I have a phone but I use my iPad for everything. I only really use my phone for Instagram, texting, and calls and entertainment when I’m not in my house.
i am 14 and i dont have a phone i asked my parents when am i gonna get it and they replyied when you reach in class 10 dosent matters what your age is 😂😂 like really
I'm the same age, but I have to get a phone this year or I might as well die.. I'm also been depressed bc all my friends text each other and talk about texting and all I do is laugh along..😢
My parents gave me my first phone in 7th grade & it was a flip. I didn't bother with social media much because I wasn't brought up to care about it(which I'm grateful for). I mainly just used it for calling friends & making plans for the weekends! 🤷♀️ I was also a pretty good kid, so my parents trusted me. I think it should come down to the individual. Some kids do some incredibly stupid shit & have no business with that much access to a phone/social media. One of my best friends growing up was an example of that. So my answer is, it really depends on the individual.
I searched this out of curiosity. I didn’t get my first cell phone until I was 14 and in the mid-2000’s it was nowhere near as powerful as the phones we currently have. All it could do was text, call, Angry Birds and play UA-cam in glorious 480dpi. It wasn’t capable of loading the internet properly half the time, watching Netflix on it was unheard of. I agree with everything he’s said just about. Especially the maturity part. But what’s even more concerning to me though is how kids are being conditioned to be heavily reliant on digital communication. It’s affecting all age ranges, but the younger it goes the more problematic. A world where people prefer screens to face to face is a dystopian nightmare to me.

Wtf that's too early, they should be atleast 16 years old. If you need a phone just for communicating then just buy them a flip phone. I got mine when I was 16 years old.
Here in Singapore, its kinda compulsory for students to have a smartphone by 12 cuz of online work that is counted towards their grade and not doing them will result in detention or some other punishments
Id say grade 5 or 6. I think that because kids are participating in more after school activities and sports. In my school they don't send out calls if a activite is canceled or shortened or longer. In sports if It is canceled and your parents don't look at their email or whatever the coach sends it on the kids can call their parents.
I am 16 years old girl.I like to buy my own phone when I was 19 .but due to online classes majority of my frnds have their own phone.I wish how nice if I have a phone like them.but I can't.I am eagerly waiting for my sweet 19
I got an ipad a 5 and a phone at 7. I think it was a little early and I think the right age for a phone its 10. And I mean at 10 they get THEIR phone. No checking or stuff. Before that I think even at 2 its fine to have an Ipad or any other tablet to watch kids yt videos, songs and other stuff like that. I don't agree on the fact that Tablet=Phone. No one uses a tablet to scroll on instagram, twitter or to send snaps. Tablets are more for games, yt and other stuff like that while the phone opens up thr new area of social media and texting
I’m going into 7th grade and when I go out with my friends so many people stock me and i almost got kidnapped and I didn’t have a phone. I just really want a plan so I can stay in contact it’s my parents if anything happens.
My mom got me mine because she knew I was responsible and wouldn’t get into trouble. Now I’m having issues with my dad mentally and verbally abusing me and it could be a life saver if he ever started to yell and threaten me.
It's all about maturity. If your child is 7, and they do after school activities, they should get a phone. I'm trying to convince my father to get me an iPhone 7/8, I currently have an Ipod touch, which is not that well for calling when I need to.
I have an iPod touch right now but I’m getting a iPhone 8 bc I’m getting older and I might need to call my parents at school so that’s why I’m getting one and if you do know, with iPods you can’t call without a wifi
I am in grade 10 i got my first smartphone this time it was a one plus 6t my parents brought it because of online class or else i wouldn't even get one even if i was in 12th
I'm gonna say maybe when a kid graduates elementary school they can be trusted with just a regular cell phone with no internet or game capability, but I'd hold off on a full on smart phone until they're at least 16. Remember, when you give your kid a phone with internet capability, they have access to everything, and I mean everything, so just make sure your kid is ready for unfiltered access. The internet doesn't restrict what your kids can go to, that job is for the parents.
I’m a kid and I believe that the difference is much greater than just the ability to call it’s cellular data and size plus if ur trying to join a group chat with android users well u can’t
I got one at 9 and I had that phone for 3 years and when I was walking home in 6th grade I slipped on ice and broke it. 1 year later and I am now in the middle of 7th grade and still don't have one. Wish I never broke it.
I got my first phone at christmas 2015. I was 8 and it was a tablet. A few months layer it had charging issues. Then i got a phone when i was almost 11. It was a old phone. But and that had charging issues ._. Then in January 2019 i got my mums old phone that she had it since 2016. But in easter 2019 my stepbother broke his phone. He game me his phone and he got a new one.
deapandleap god your parents need to be more lenient you only need 8 hours of sleep a day god damn, at least like 9pm, also phones can protect you in crucial emergencies and social media’s a lot better then people think
I got an iPad at age 3 or 4. I am now going into 8th grade and don’t have a phone. I just want to ask what the difference is between a phone and a n iPad. It’s literally the same but phones are more mobile. I see toddlers with iPads everywhere. What the difference?
I literally got my phone when I was 16. Being born from an Indian parent, this is kinda normal for us. But still ppl who were in my grade had got when they were 13-14😂😂
i got my first smartphone at age 11, i had an nokia for a year and a half before. i didn’t have a tablet as a kid, i was sometimes watching tv but that was it, i’m only 13
I don't think kids should have smartphones until roughly age 15. Parents tend to throw these smartphones in their kids hands to shut them up without monitoring or adding parental controls. I have seen it day-in day-out when I worked for sprint. When I would service these kids phones and see some of the filth on them, I blame the parents not the kid. It's completely careless parenting to throw an open world into the hands of a child that is not ready to process these things. instead of the world around influencing them they're being influenced with filth from their unmonitored smartphones. These parents get angry with us because we can't break their kids passcode and let them in the phone. By the time it's already too late, you've opened up Pandora's box. Smh
My kid is just 4 years and I usually gave him my smartphone during my vacations ( 10 days a month). By time he used to have it. So when I manage to comeback to my work sometimes he becomes angry with me because of the smartphone which I will take it from him and then he starts to ask me to buy a new one for him!
Feature phones for call and text 11 years old, let them use smartphones by 14 and above. I’m a tyrant towards my younger cousins (9 years old and below) because all they do is just stare at the phone watching youtube and not honing themselves in sports.
A lot of parents think they should start there kids off with iPads. Many parents don’t realize that you can still have access to UA-cam and Safari. Kids can still be watching inappropriate stuff without the parents even knowing
Well ipads are bigger and so the child could play games more easier and the iPad wouldn't drop easier And they wouldn't annoy there parents becauz "the phone glitchy!!1!11!" Or smth so yea
I got a cell phone when I was a freshman. But it was a flip phone and only texted and made calls. And you had to press the buttons several times to get the right letter. I got my first smart phone (iPhone) when I was 21.
Ugh I feel you’re pain. But I got my first phone 9 months ago. Except it was my sisters old cracked iPhone 6s. I was actually supposed to get a 4! The one problem is the battery lasts like 20 minutes. Ye it sucks
I think your child will tell you when they’re ready for a phone just based off things like, grades, behavior, maturity etc. Take a look at all of those things and ask yourself “Is my child able to handle these basic life challenges and do well at them?” If so, they’re ready. If Not, then get the grades up, stay outta trouble, listen more frequently and when that is demonstrated, that is the age they’re ready. Just IMHO
love to hear your thoughts on this. When did you get a smartphone for your kids?
Brett Ullman i’m a kid but i got one at 12

I got an ipad a 5 and a phone at 7. I think it was a little early and I think the right age for a phone its 10. And I mean at 10 they get THEIR phone. No checking or stuff. Before that I think even at 2 its fine to have an Ipad or any other tablet to watch kids yt videos, songs and other stuff like that. I don't agree on the fact that Tablet=Phone. No one uses a tablet to scroll on instagram, twitter or to send snaps. Tablets are more for games, yt and other stuff like that while the phone opens up thr new area of social media and texting
I’m going into 7th grade and when I go out with my friends so many people stock me and i almost got kidnapped and I didn’t have a phone. I just really want a plan so I can stay in contact it’s my parents if anything happens.
That's scary
My mom got me mine because she knew I was responsible and wouldn’t get into trouble. Now I’m having issues with my dad mentally and verbally abusing me and it could be a life saver if he ever started to yell and threaten me.
It's all about maturity. If your child is 7, and they do after school activities, they should get a phone. I'm trying to convince my father to get me an iPhone 7/8, I currently have an Ipod touch, which is not that well for calling when I need to.
I have an iPod touch too and am trying to convince my parents to get me the iPhone 8. Hopefully u got a phone by now :)
I have an iPod touch right now but I’m getting a iPhone 8 bc I’m getting older and I might need to call my parents at school so that’s why I’m getting one and if you do know, with iPods you can’t call without a wifi
My mom said I could get a phone.
But I had to pay for it so I did
i dont understand parents looki g through phones
My 4 year old cousin has a phone and I'm almost 11 Im jealous now.
Aww
thank you for saying out loud what I've been thinking for a while now.
I'm 11 and I dont have anything I'm on my mums phone
So your eleven not 15 your a kid not teen
It's kind of the expected age nowadays.
I’ll pray for mate
Bro,im 13😂😂
I got my first phone when I was 6 and I have had about five phones and I’m gonna get a new one maybe for my 10th birthday I’m so excited 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
Damn I'm almost 13 and my parents still refuse to let me have a phone
What I am ten almost eleven and I still don’t have a phone. But I will soon

Lol 😂
Ur so spoiled u don’t have to shove it right up our faces 🤜👩🏼
Those built in shelves behind you is driving my OCD up the wall.
Who else is over 14 and doesn't have a phone?
During 5th grade is the best time.
When when am 10 and all what I have is a iPad : me:I will get one someday somehow 😂
I am in grade 10 i got my first smartphone this time it was a one plus 6t my parents brought it because of online class or else i wouldn't even get one even if i was in 12th
I am in grade 7 and I am watching it on my own phone but only for online classes
I am 14 and not got my own phone till now
I'm gonna say maybe when a kid graduates elementary school they can be trusted with just a regular cell phone with no internet or game capability, but I'd hold off on a full on smart phone until they're at least 16. Remember, when you give your kid a phone with internet capability, they have access to everything, and I mean everything, so just make sure your kid is ready for unfiltered access. The internet doesn't restrict what your kids can go to, that job is for the parents.
As a person who had his first (samsung foldable) phone at 12, I 100% agree.
I’m a kid and I believe that the difference is much greater than just the ability to call it’s cellular data and size plus if ur trying to join a group chat with android users well u can’t
I’ve been asking my mum for years to get a phone but it’s always no I’m in 6th grade this year and I am the only one without a iPhone
I know how it feels I'm also in the same grade and still don't have a phone
I'm 14 in 10 grade ... Still don't have a phone 😭
@@pritharanjan9882 14 in 10th grade?
@@cdubs2771 yeah
I got one at 9 and I had that phone for 3 years and when I was walking home in 6th grade I slipped on ice and broke it. 1 year later and I am now in the middle of 7th grade and still don't have one. Wish I never broke it.
Very good and informative points. I will use this in my argument against getting a phone.
I got my phone when I was 13 now I'm 14
I got my ipad at 13 years of age. Now i am going to turn 14 soon
One of my friends got an iphone xr for her 12th birthday
I got my first phone at christmas 2015. I was 8 and it was a tablet. A few months layer it had charging issues. Then i got a phone when i was almost 11. It was a old phone. But and that had charging issues ._. Then in January 2019 i got my mums old phone that she had it since 2016. But in easter 2019 my stepbother broke his phone. He game me his phone and he got a new one.

Ok boomer
This just shows you are too young and immature to get a phone
Cryptix *_* so the entire meme community is immature?
I’m 14 and I don’t have a phone and Im forced to go to bed at 8pm please help me
Same
Same situation here.
Jesus Christ what a terrible predicament
deapandleap god your parents need to be more lenient you only need 8 hours of sleep a day god damn, at least like 9pm, also phones can protect you in crucial emergencies and social media’s a lot better then people think
@@LoonyJack social media looks like a crack den
Oh ya
I got an iPad at age 3 or 4. I am now going into 8th grade and don’t have a phone. I just want to ask what the difference is between a phone and a n iPad. It’s literally the same but phones are more mobile. I see toddlers with iPads everywhere. What the difference?
I literally got my phone when I was 16. Being born from an Indian parent, this is kinda normal for us. But still ppl who were in my grade had got when they were 13-14😂😂
I'm 16 bro and I'm indian but i still dnt have a phone....lol😂😂😭😭.....unlucky af
Afterall, its 10 board result that buys you a phone. AND THIS YEAR'S ISN'T COMING!
@@sreepriyas3852 but luckily I got it this year. After a lot of struggle
The MDM technology is great for phone control. Maybe its time to start building a open platform but aimed at parents managing their kids.
i got my first smartphone at age 11, i had an nokia for a year and a half before. i didn’t have a tablet as a kid, i was sometimes watching tv but that was it, i’m only 13
No
I don't think kids should have smartphones until roughly age 15. Parents tend to throw these smartphones in their kids hands to shut them up without monitoring or adding parental controls. I have seen it day-in day-out when I worked for sprint. When I would service these kids phones and see some of the filth on them, I blame the parents not the kid. It's completely careless parenting to throw an open world into the hands of a child that is not ready to process these things. instead of the world around influencing them they're being influenced with filth from their unmonitored smartphones. These parents get angry with us because we can't break their kids passcode and let them in the phone. By the time it's already too late, you've opened up Pandora's box. Smh
Video: Most kids get their phones when their 10
Me and my 11 y/O self:
I need phone I'm 17 but parents have a financial problems. Can someone tell me some really cheap phones that has camera from £10-£35 or $13-$42
My kid is just 4 years and I usually gave him my smartphone during my vacations ( 10 days a month). By time he used to have it. So when I manage to comeback to my work sometimes he becomes angry with me because of the smartphone which I will take it from him and then he starts to ask me to buy a new one for him!
I got my first phone right after I got my university offer letter which is in 2019.. And I still use that phone.. Hahah
Feature phones for call and text 11 years old, let them use smartphones by 14 and above.
I’m a tyrant towards my younger cousins (9 years old and below) because all they do is just stare at the phone watching youtube and not honing themselves in sports.
This^
ok
A lot of parents think they should start there kids off with iPads. Many parents don’t realize that you can still have access to UA-cam and Safari. Kids can still be watching inappropriate stuff without the parents even knowing
Well ipads are bigger and so the child could play games more easier and the iPad wouldn't drop easier
And they wouldn't annoy there parents becauz "the phone glitchy!!1!11!" Or smth so yea
I got a cell phone when I was a freshman. But it was a flip phone and only texted and made calls. And you had to press the buttons several times to get the right letter. I got my first smart phone (iPhone) when I was 21.
My parents will never get me a phone even though my 10 year old brother has one
How old r u
Eldana Eskinder how old are you eldu

Ugh I feel you’re pain. But I got my first phone 9 months ago. Except it was my sisters old cracked iPhone 6s. I was actually supposed to get a 4! The one problem is the battery lasts like 20 minutes. Ye it sucks
Btw I’m 11
@@Max-zy1hb thanks
I think your child will tell you when they’re ready for a phone just based off things like, grades, behavior, maturity etc. Take a look at all of those things and ask yourself “Is my child able to handle these basic life challenges and do well at them?” If so, they’re ready. If Not, then get the grades up, stay outta trouble, listen more frequently and when that is demonstrated, that is the age they’re ready. Just IMHO
Can you elaborate on how it didn’t work? I’m not doubting you in any way, I’m just genuinely curious what wasn’t working?
I'm in class 11and my parents are saying that cell phone have many disadvantage.. And I feel sad ☹️☹️☹️

I used to yell at my parents about this but i recommend you to give them rational reasons why You deserve/need one.
I am not a parent but I want to realize that I need a phone or not you helped my.I am in a age of 14 and 9th grade it helped me.
