IN A SURVEY OF MORE THAN 800 USERS, 77 PERCENT OF STUDENTS GOT THEIR FIRST CELL PHONE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 10 AND 17 ACCORDING TO NICHE.com. THERE ARE ADVANTAGES AND DRAWBACKS TO CHILDREN OWNING CELL PHONES. A CELL PHONE CAN COME IN HANDY WHEN A CHILD NEEDS TO CONTACT THEIR PARENTS. AND HAVING INTERNET ACCESS CAN BE A GREAT HELP WHEN ASKING QUESTIONS. BUT ONE DISADVANTAGE IS HOW PHONES HINDER ACTUAL HUMAN INTERACTION. OFTEN TIMES PHONES TAKE AWAY THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT WITH SOMEONE FACE-TO-FACE. PHONES CAN BE A PROBLEM IN SCHOOLS WHEN THEY DISTRACT A CHILD DURING CLASS OR ARE USED FOR CHEATING. STUDENTS WHO ARE CAUGHT CHEATING USUALLY FACE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. THIS IS ODALYS CATALAN FROM PRIMAVERA ONLINE SCHOOL FOR BEAR ESSENTIAL NEWS.
