I mean, I would’ve probably lost any friends I would’ve made after highschool ends, so I don’t think it was like a huge loss either way. But like not having friends during highschool kinda contributed to my depression.

Like this comment is not me complaining about not having a phone, its more of a “why the fuck is everyone in my school constantly on their phone” complaint.

Its not the “not having a phone” part that made me sad, but the social exclusion. Get what I’m saying?

So if this “phone ban” thing is gonna happen, it has to be either all or nothing, not some half-assed “voluntary” shit where half of the class is pressured by the other half for not having a phone.

And since some schools are underfunded and doesn’t have enough chromebooks for everyone, teachers would make kids use their phone to do classwork (on google classroom). Not giving your kid a smartphone can be detrimental, its not gonna work unless the entire school admin is on board with it.

Your grades can literally drop from not having a smartphone. Insanity, I know.
