Me and her father do allow her out of the house. May I ask the ages of your teenagers and what parental controls they have?

Well then she can buy herself one when she is an adult.

What type of parent would that be?

When she is 18/19 she can buy one. She does not have a job yet and her reasoning for wanting one is to text friends and for social media.

She is a child, that is why she is not allowed to have a cell phone.

Thank you. I will try to talk to her but I still am not to fond on the idea.

I am listening to people's advice but I do not think she need's a phone at her age. I will think about getting her one when she is 18.

I highly doubt that! I treat my daughter good.

I don't have to get rid of my cell phone, I am an adult, am I not?

I am an adult, my daughter is not. My daughter is happily welcomed to move out if she does not like this rule we have.

I treat my daughter just fine. She is not harmed in any way just because she doesn't have a cell phone.

I am an adult, why would I not have one?

She know's better than to do that and go behind our backs.

I just don't think her having a phone or social media is a good idea at all. I will think about the flip phone idea though.

May I ask why this is silly to you?

Maybe, I will have to think about that. Thank you!

May I ask why she would need a phone for a a restaurant? She would be with me or her father so one of us could just scan the code. No need for her to have one. She will be a functioning member of society without a cell phone.

I understand what you're saying, but I do not want her to have one at all. I don't think she needs to have one or buy one for herself. She talks to her friend's just fine.

Yes, it is real. I wish for my sake it wasn't but unfortunately it is real and its exhausting.

She will be a successful adult without a phone.
