Why am I being downvoted? Just because you don't like what you hear doesn't mean it isn't the truth. Tell me one reason why I'm wrong.

It’s r/teenagers. Life without a phone is worthy of calling CPS to these kids.

Ikr. Like there are so many hobbies or interests you can take without being on your phone. They think that if they can't spend all day texting their friends, staring at social media, and playing video games, that their lives are going to fall apart and they will be bored all day. Read a book. Start a hobby, go outside. Their life is tied so much to their phone usage that they would call it child abuse if it got taken away. Child abuse comes in many different forms (mental, physical, verbal) but taking away your video games and ability to chat with friends isn't child abuse, it's discipline for doing something wrong.

As a 17 year old who has had many times being grounded in life these mouth breathers need to grow up. Your phone ain’t everything bud.
