text: The first reason why we should be allowed to bring our phones is to stay in touch with our friends when we can't hang out with them. For example you have no classes with your friend. If you have our cell phones we could stay in touch and not lose our friendship with our friend. Another example is just in case we left something at your friend's house and we want it back. We would text or call our friend to meet them in a certain location in order to get our stuff back.
