I could never understand why a teenager needed a cell phone to begin with, let alone one with all kinds of bells and whistles. My own personal cell phone does not take pictures nor am I able to send and receive text messages or images. I find there is absolutely no need to do any of that from a PHONE.

Our society is awash in excess. Over kill in many respects, What once was a LUXURY now seems to be a necessity in some peoples minds. I can understand the sense of security one can feel by being able to contact a son or daughter at anytime via the cell phone but WHY ON EARTH do they need one with every available option not to mention the COST of it all. Wouldn't a simple cell phone that sends and receives calls be ENOUGH?

Must our children need to be able to send text and pictures on a PHONE? Take it away from them parents and act like the adults you are supposed to be.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I'll bet you a buck, the adults are oblivious.
