Should children have cell phones?

In this generation, people are general to have a cell phone. That makes children want to ask their parents to give them one. People might consider that is it necessary. My answer would be: No, it’s not. There are three main reasons to bolster that cell phones are harmful for children’s health, parents can not always control their children using cell phones, and having cell phones may let children get worse in their education.

First, when children just get a cell phone, they would be very excited and interested in it. They start to download games or scan the websites all night even without sleep. It would increase the risk of children to be blind. There was an example, a 7 year old child became blind because he seldom give over to play the phone which his parents gave him. Now, how contrite they are! Also, there was a report tell us that watching on a small screen in the dark would hurt our eyes, too. These are the best evidences that show us why children shouldn’t have cell phones.

Second, parents might not stay with their children all the time. As a result, they can’t control what they are doing on cell phones. It’s dangerous if they go into sex or violent websites carelessly. Kids’ mind would be abnormal, not only had a destructive personality but also become bullying. Children change to be rebellious, they may like to argue with their teachers at school, even have conflict with their parents at family. At this moment, parents must want to confiscate their child’s cell phone. However, it’s too late. Children might be very resent about this. Why not reject to give them a call phone at the beginning? Children shouldn’t have cell phones.

Third, if they really be addiction to cell phones. Thus, you would know what’s going to be next. Children only want to play and never study, their score at school must be decline. Parents won’t hope this happen, the best way should be not to give children a cell phone.

Although it’s easier to connect with kids, reduce any kidnapping or kids lost occur. And some people think that children own cell phones can teach them responsibility. Actually, I was a bad example for here: I spent three hundreds dollars calling my friends in one month, but I couldn’t pay for my bill. My parents were very angry with that. During that time, they took away my phone. My parents were very regret giving me a cell phone.

                                 

To conclude, parents don’t need to get them into a risk of children became worse. “But if sometime children are going outside by themselves? Just give them your cell phone temporarily.” Wang Pei Ting said, an author usually writes about her son and daughter. Above these reasons: harmful for their health, mind, and education. I think that children shouldn’t have cell phones, they don’t need them necessary.
