What age is a good age to give them one?

[–] brian@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

I feel like I had a problem socially starting jr high without a phone at all in late 00s. All your friends communicate/plan/etc over phones so not having one you're missing out on all of that.

Smartphone is debatable, but I feel like 6/7th grade kinda needs a phone of some sort in current society
