our life now is not safe like the life in the past , and also children need to have their own cell phone because they have to be in touch with their parents . Furthermore children can also feed in emergency numbers like hospitals . SO i think this will provide a security for the kids .

By the age of 11 kids are ready to have their first cell phone, I actually think that is the perfect age. I got my first phone when I was 10 because my mom was working two jobs at the time and needed to be able to contact me (we didn't have a home phone) and I think a lot of the times having a cell phone is helpful for the parents and the child for safety reasons. I didn't really text anyone besides my parents until around 7th grade when more people started getting phones, which I think is the case for most kids. Yes it is sad watching your kids growing up from what I have heard, but at the same time it has to happen.

Having a cellphone doesn't really matter about age--it's about maturity. So if you think you are responsible enough to have one, ask!

How can you not be ready for a cellphone?

Most parents these days want their children to have a cellphone for safety reasons.

Yeah man they should ......

As the years go by, human life is also changing constantly! Mobile phones were previously seen only among few high class people and were considered as something lavish! Then slowly, you saw even the average or the common man on the street like your cobbler or vegetable vendor having a cellphone! See the world today, and you can find even young kids and school going children busily chatting away on their mobile phones! Today you find kids as young as seven and eight owning a mobile phone. Welcome to the new age world!

It's good for entertainment, that they want... Emergency,.. MAYBE!!!

I agree that children under 11 to use cell phones , for example in the emeregency situtions the cell phone is very helpful and may save them
