I'm 13 (pretty recently) and i live in NYC i am pretty self sufficent ie taking subway, making appointments and all that other stuff im soposed to do. i also hang out with my friends alot who all live far away from me so when i hang out with them i need to call everyone and haveing my cell phone makes it possible because otherwise everyone is worried. or if me and my friend got to dinner in a kind of sketchy neighborhood we NEED cell phones so we can talk to our moms if we are scared or need to get home fast Cell phones aren't to look cool, although that is a plus, there so everyone is in the loop. so stop being so critical and open your eyes "you can agree with everything or disagree with everything each are equally convient soulotions, the eliminate the need to think" remember that... for the future generation please!!!!!

theres nothing wrong with getting a tattoo or piercing. and also just because we're teens does not mean we're completely irrisponsible and brainless. and its not just teens who go out and get tattoos and piercings. its all ages.

The equivalent of having their own phone in their room. (what i wanted when I was 13. ) It may not be a necessity, but I don't think it, in and of itself, is for coolness. i-phones and blackberries however, would definately be for image however.

That said: it bugs the hell out of me to see some kid with a better cell phone than I have. Granted I have a POS, but still...

My gf calls them, "tracking devices" and requires her kids check in regularly. (She tries to get me to do it too, but I'm delinquent.)

There's a downside to giving cellphones to the little ones though. They break and lose them even more often than adults do.

With the demise of pay phones, I wouldn't be surprised if this is almost a requirement at this point for any 13-year-old whose parents allow them a reasonable amount of independence.

Just because we (I'm 13) carry around a cell phone doesn't mean we do if to look cool ! It's not stupid ! The point of a cell phone is to carry it around for goodness sakes ! My mom gets mad if I don't take my cell phone with me . I don't have a cell phone , I would have to constantly borrow from someone else . Sometimes we just need a cell phone you know ? If we go somewhere big and have to call our parents . Personally , I think this is ridiculous . Of course teenagers these days need cell phones . And the cell phone is made to CARRY IT AROUND for access .

Update: To those people who say that talking on the phone with their friends is a waste of time , think again . A study shows that in the lives of pre-teens and teens , friends are very important . Pre-teen through teen years are emotionally confusing . They depend on their friends to let off that stress . Friends prepare them for the "adult" world . How do you think they'll get by in life with a low social development ? I agree that we need to focus on our studies too but if the child is doing well in school , why be so mean ?

Ouch. That really hurt, you dumbshit down there V____V.
We have problems, that you've never, or will never
experience in life. We have so much pain and distress
in our lives, we don't know what to do with it.
Cutting is taking pain away from our minds,
we don't do it to DIE, though most of us want to.
Stop hating, and get over yourself. You have
no clue what we go through, so suck it.

kids dress the way they do because they want to be accepted. I'm pretty sure most people who have ever been in high school would've liked to be "the cool/popular kid" or at least have had a group of friends. Don't be mad at kids trying to fit in.
