text: There is a big question that goes through a teens mind every time they are told to put there phone away. That question is what is 'What's the point of having a phone if I can't use it?' While it may seem immature and childish it is a legitimate question. Is there really a point of having a phone if you are constantly told to put it up and keep it off. Do you think that a kid or teen texting in the hall is going to bring the world to a stop. Ask yourself for you may have a cell phone to 'what's the point?'
