      I have a 10 year old and for about 2 months he's been egging me to get him a phone. I made a deal with him. If he could behave himself for 3 months, i would get him one. Well, typically boy, that lasted 2 days.

      So I'm at Verizon getting a new phone and my smart ass son starts really talking common sence on why he needs a phone. He really sounded convining. So...i ended up getting him one.

      As long as he can be responsible with it and not wind up being an emo puss text messager like the rest of'em.

      They got along with phones before, and they can now too. Texting is not necessary for these kids.

      My son is 13 and has a blackberry for a year now. He has had a phone since he was 11. All his buddies at school have phones and it is actually kinda weird how many kids have phones

      My daughter got a phone when she was 10. That was right about the time I was having my hip surgery, and I felt it was important for her to have it. (for I had a lot of different people having to drive her to and from school and other places.)

      We told her NOT to take that phone to school, and within the first week, she took the phone to school. Guess what, it was stolen that day! She did end up getting it back the next week, but that definitely taught her a hard lesson. She was a wreck that whole week her phone was gone, and we said she wouldn't get another one until she was 18!

      Anyways, since then, she has been extremely responsible, and it's come in handy more than a few times. We have unlimited texting on all of our phones, so she is allowed to text. But, I monitor her phone daily, and she knows anything done inappropriately, the phone will be taken away.

      She's a great girl tho, and we have had no problems what so ever since that first week.
