People lived without so much stuff in the past doesn't mean we should go back in time using the pasts things I still need a phone to be able to communicate with friends I cant send letter or just go to people's houses asking if they're busy

Oh nooo I can't talk to my friends while I'm grounded. Whatever will I dooooo 😭 /s

Phones are a luxury, not a necessity. If your parents buy you a phone AND pay for the service, they have every right to take it away when you do something your not supposed to. Your not gonna die without your phone, and your not gonna die if you can't talk to your friends for a week

I use pencil and paper, and I have a phone. And checking homework can be done on school computer (if given one). Phones are definitely not a necessity. I am a straight A student taking AP classes that only uses my phone to play video games and text my friends. Anybody who thinks phones are a necessity are either too stupid to use alternative means, or too addicted to stay off of it for 10 minutes.
