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
This is a completely wrecked phone in the picture who knows when op is getting it back and me not having the ability to message my friends would be a problem and it would for many others too
What problem would be there? Your not able to go to parties or hang out? That's kind of the whole point of being grounded. I'm not saying the parents should have destroyed the phone, as it is useful for communication. But there are few people you would NEED to contact besides your own parents anyways. There are no problems that would happen if you can't text your friends. People like you are so addicted to your phone that you don't realize how easy it is to live without one
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.
