text: The last reason I have is that cell phones might get stolen or lost and cause a heap of chaos. Imagine that you have this expensive new phone that you got on your birthday yesterday. Your parents told you not to lose it because it cost a fortune. You kept your eye on it the whole time, but during lunch, you take a quick trip to the bathroom and left your phone in your locker. When you got back, it was gone. It's not a surprise that cell phones get stolen at school. Kids like the new and latest stuff and sometimes they can't afford it. But if they want it really bad, they try to steal it. Friendships are broken, and enemies are made, because who knows who stole your phone? It could be anyone. Kids become more aware and less open to having new friends. Kids lose trust in each other which leads to the whole community to not be as close anymore.
