I'm 13 years old and I will be in January 14. My biggest wish is to get a mobile phone right now. The money is not a problem. I have 200 euro and get each month by newspaper distribution 115 euro. I would like to buy a Huawei mate 20 Lite with a contract, which would cost 10 euro per month in the first year and 22 in the second year. But my mother says the same as my brother would use the phone while eating and would generally be over the top. Help would be nice but please do not just say "With patience it will be something".
Then do not use it while eating
But she says the I would do that anyway, even if I promise her.
As long as you do not violate the rules of the family through the use of mobile phones… I see no problem with your age
At 13 or 14 I would allow my child. - If it would be chronically busy, I would in turn intervene. (P.S.: answer of an 'adult').
How are you
I find a cell phone even very important for children, because I think first and foremost of the protection of my children. If you are traveling with friends or just outside I would like to reach my child. At bedtime, you can take the phone away until the next day.
For us it was like this:
In front of the kitchen was a bowl - mobile phone
After school, when schoolwork was done - in the shell
After 22 o'clock no more mobile phone (trust) from 16 on mind set
You finance it yourself - respect.
