As a result, children using cellphones on their daily basis and stay inside home would not be able to make friends. In the meantime, these children who have access to their cell phone all time faces a lot of risks. One of the risks is becoming victims of sexual predators, who empathise with and listen to the problems of children and keeps up to date with children’s interest. Parents have much less control over who the child connects with on their mobile phones. Online there is many people who just wants to cause harm to a innocent child. Another risk is children gets addicted to their phone, they rather use it than sleep. Endless text messaging, checking Facebook, Instagram, and watching Youtube videos, all these activities seem to be more interesting to many children then getting many hours of sleep for school. It’s just a distraction and waste of time that it drives parents to despair. Threatening to take their phones away or actually taking it can results in an outraged child. The addiction to phones often damages the parent-child relationship by creating resentment in both parties. Moreover, the use of cellphones all time can cause harm to children’s vision and it can gives any headache. Even more, children under 15 who gets addicted to their phone would use it in school hours.

Although phones may be used to help students with work, North Eugene high school should ban phones because how much of a distraction they can be in a classroom.

Finally, Street-Porter has ended her article stating that “smartphones are spawning dumb children.” I do agree that children may spend too much time on their smartphones, however, their parents have a right to control what their children do and how much time they spend doing it — there is no need to talk about something as extreme as banning something that isn’t a big threat. As said, there are much more efficient ways of solving this problem.
When children hit their adolescent years, most of them are given cellular phones by their parents. Parents may think that by providing their young adolescent with a cellular phone it is a form of keeping touch with them at all times. Even though I do not believe this is very responsible of the parents to do because adolescents do not get to build up a sense of self awareness in the dangerous world around them; they seem to lack their sense of direction since the android cellular phones now in days give you the answers to practically everything. From searching the web to always communicating through a text; cellular phones have tethered
The use of cellphones in school has brought up debates all over the world. While some believe they are an advantage, others believe that they are a hindrance to the learning process. Despite the fact that smartphones can be used for important school activity such as research and time- management, they are also one of the main sources of classroom distractions. As a current student, I can attest to the fact that students often play games or text friends instead of listening to what is being taught. Students often argue that they need their phones to listen to music because it helps them focus. This has been vigorously studied and the results vary, but are not fully supportive. Not only have students made arguments as why they should be allowed to use their phones in school, but parents have as well. Most parents are in support of the having phones in school because they want to always have a way to contact their child. One thing parents do not realize is the ways their children are misusing their phone. Teachers should not have to fight the distraction caused by cell phones in the classroom. The use of smartphones in school causes too many distraction and there is a multitude of ways this privilege can be misused.
Widespread cell phone use is a distraction to many individuals today. While being on their telephones they begin to network and meet other individuals. Networking is not always a bad thing if people stay focused and determined on their goals. Eventually while networking they are going to meet someone they began to show interest in. Which in many cases individuals get attached to the person their talking to and start losing focus from reality. They begin to procrastinate from doing things that actually matter to them. Like for instance, instead of doing homework individuals would rather choose to play on their telephones. Which can eventually can start affecting their school grades and cause them to drop. Parents need to start stepping in more and take control in these situations, take away their phones if need be. What if it is a college student? They are technically adults so their parents cannot really control them

Cell phones are amazing things that allow us to so many great things, but are causing us to loose sight to what really matters?
