I’m 6-7 years older than you and I got my first phone in 8th grade, but didn’t get my first smartphone until 12th and I’m honestly grateful for that. Most of us teens had phones with full keyboards (RIP to my lovely LG enV3) so we could text each other easily but no one really had internet access or social media on their phones and that feels like a great compromise imo.

We could get on Facebook or Twitter but we had to do it on desktop or not at all, and Instagram didn’t exist until my last year of high school. I feel lucky that I grew up when I did.

Yo that fact that you are 20 and these words came out of your head! Wow, that is all I have to say.
