And I submit to you the idea that it is not addiction but bad parenting. What in the hell is a kid doing with an i-phone? Now, I might agree to buy my kid an i-phone, but it would be under the condition that all school work is done, grades are above ‘C,’ and it is only to be carried on weekends and holidays. It will have a stand in the house where I can see it the rest of the time, and it will be turned off.
What a kid does with their cell phone is up to you, until they reach the age of 18.
