I could never understand why a teenager needed a cell phone to begin with, let alone one with all kinds of bells and whistles. My own personal cell phone does not take pictures nor am I able to send and receive text messages or images. I find there is absolutely no need to do any of that from a PHONE.

Our society is awash in excess. Over kill in many respects. What once was a LUXURY now seems to be a necessity in some peoples minds. I can understand the sense of security one can feel by being able to contact a son or daughter at anytime via the cell phone but WHY ON EARTH do they need one with every available option? I am not even discussing the COST of it all. Wouldn’t a simple cell phone that sends and receives calls be ENOUGH? Do our children really need to be able to send text and pictures on a PHONE?

Take it away from them parents and act like the adults you are supposed to be!
