Why kid's dont need cell phones

 I believe cellphones are completely unnecessary for kids. Cellphones are incredibly special pieces of technology. They have allowed long-distance communication, finding the fastest ways to places, and entertainment. Phones have so much knowledge on them that they can help us improve in daily life. Phones have found ways to help us learn so much. Without Cell phones, life would be much less interesting, and it would be much harder to find the information we need. Although phones are amazing pieces of technology, most people believe they are overused by children and can become addictive.

Cellphones have become a big part of life, but they can be a distraction. Some people think that kids should be allowed to have cell phones in school, but many others disagree. Children who are in middle school should not be able to carry cellphones to school because they can be disruptive and distracting. Research shows that the average teenager spends seven hours a day on their cellphone. This is a huge problem children should not be spending much time on their phone. About four to six hours are spent on YouTube, TikTok, and Snap chat. This means kids will barely have enough time to do homework and play outside unless they stay up late. Children who stay up will not be ready for their next day of school or they will start to lack sleep. Phones are completely unnecessary and can be harmful to one's health.

Cellphones are being overused this is bad. If teenagers are on their phones, they may not get enough sleep for their body to grow. Middle school kids come back from school at around 4:30 after this 7 hour is spent on the phone then students will do homework for about 2 hours meaning they go to bed by 12 or 11:00 o’clock. These kids who spent this much time on the phone got no physical activity unless they did an activity or played a sport. They also had little social time over the phone. But they did not actually meet up. Cellphones have become so addictive that you cannot stop being on them. And if you have it in school then it is even worse.

Some people believe that cellphones are great for learning how to manage your time but based on research the average kid is spending over 7 hours on the phone. Phones can just be a waste of your time. Parents need long-distance communication this does not mean you have to get a phone. Instead, a flip phone could work. It can help you to call people and it works extremely well for long-distance calling. Phones could be carried in school but not used. It will be a huge distraction to not only yourself but classmates. Spending excessive amounts of time on your phone could become a habit and you may fall behind on homework. 

Phones are great pieces of technology that can help you learn more about the world, but they cannot be used excessively. If you limit time on the phone, you can spend more time with friends and get more physical activity. If you are on the phone too much it can also become a habit. These multiple reasons are why I believe phones are unnecessary for children.
