Answer: Here's the answer.
Explanation:
Not all children should have cell phones because of the negative impact it has on their mental, social, physical, and cognitive health.
One of the reasons that not all of them should have cell phones is because of how it affects their physical activity or time with friends. This is one of the number one causes of obesity among children, tweens, and teens. The use of phones also is a cause of decreased sleep and distractibility contributing to poorer academic performance due to increased amounts of cell phone usage.
Another reason children shouldn't have cell phones is the risk of cyberbullying and social media accounts. Cyberbullying is when you bully someone online. According to Nationwide Children's, "Research has suggested that children in the third through fifth grade who owned a cell phone were particularly vulnerable to cyberbullying and that they had been cyberbullies themselves." Children are at risk with social media accounts because of what they post on their accounts. They think that whatever they send doesn't matter and that not everyone can see it. Wrong. The truth is, what you send cannot be removed, and even when you remove it, people have already seen it and have posted it on their accounts for others to see. Children, tweens, and teens also think that the past can be left behind when it comes to social media. Again, wrong. Are they aware that athletes, politicians, and celebrities who thought their past was behind them actually wasn't behind them because of social media? Social media can backfire on children if they aren't careful of what they post.
A final reason that not all children should have cell phones is because of whether or not they should have access to it during family times. Children are more likely to use cell phones during bedtime, dinner, and in other various times of the day. It takes away from quality family time, even if they're all just sitting at the dinner table together. Cell phones are great, but if the time isn't limited, it can cause problems in the near future.
Those are the reasons why I think most children should not have cell phones because of the negative impact it has on their mental, social, physical, and cognitive health.
