Do you need a cell phone? YES! why? Here well what if you are lost! You don’t want to go walk up to some stranger, you could just call your mom or dad. Or what if you walk home but you don’t know where to go, you could just call your parents. What if you are in danger, like you’re in a fire and you're getting really sick, or or you saw a robber or a kidnapper you could call someone. Also it helps you keep in touch. With like your parents or your friends or with the police or fire man. Last but not least it teaches responsibility. That is why you need a cell phone.

Yes! I think it is a good idea for kids to have cell phones because if you get lost on your way home you can call up one of your family members and they can come and pick you up. A different reason to have a cell phone is if you had an accident at school like someone spilled some water or any other liquids on you. You can call your house phone and they can come and drop off some other cloths so you don’t have to be soggy all day long. Another reason to have a cell phone is if a total stranger came out of nowhere and tried and kidnapped you you can call 911 and they can come down and if the person is still there they can arrest them and put them in jail for a long time at least that is what I hope they do. This is why I think kids should have cell phones if you agree with me add a comment if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all thanks for reading.

I think kids should have there own cell phone. One reason is that a fire could happen. And a bunch of things like kidnaps or something. So that why kids should have cell phones. So its alright to play games sometimes to.

My opinion is yes. I think kids should have cell phones. Because what if you need to tell your mom that you got home safe or if you can go somewhere. You can also practice your responsibility with your cell phone because if you lose the cell phone it is your fault and you don’t get a new cell phone. What if you need to call 911. There could be a really bad emergence or you get hurt even kid naped.

Yes I think we should have sell phones for reasons not for texting and games. Reason one if you got hurt and know one is around. Reason tow walking to school and some one takes you. Reason three what if you brake something and you are with a friend.
Reason 4 what if you see something bad you can call 911. Reason fiv what if you get lost in a bissy place.

I think that kids should not have phones because they may not keep track of them. It costs a lot of money to cover, if it works And if you brake it than that costs a lot of money too. We have better things to than text all day like play out side.If we just tested and called people all day we wold never get any exercise then we would be over wait.
