Cell phones and children.

I think around 6th grade is when a child should get some form of cell phone. It's always nice to have the communication with them when they are hanging with a friend or something.

A couple months ago, I saw an 8 year old with an Instagram using Tags for Likes and trying to do methods to gain likes. That's just ridiculous.
 
I got my first cellphone during high school mainly because that was during the time when I started showing signs of independence and separating myself from the protective bubble my parents have placed me in for 14 years. So, whenever children start hanging out with their friends on their own outside of parental supervision I think would be a good time. Otherwise, I don't particularly see a need for them to be having them in middle school. Nowadays I think kids are growing up way too fast.
