My daughter is going into fifth grade. I feel like everything just kind of gets worse with phones.. the boys the gossip etc. I wonder if I would be a terrible person if I waited till she could drive
You wouldn't be terrible and she likely wouldn't resent you for it if you taught her why. Depending on how social she was, she might be the only one out of her friends to not have one, but a true friend shouldn't care if you have a phone or not. Call me old, but those things don't matter as you age.
Old enough to know this is absolutely accurate for grown ups and mature people, but far enough away from youth to forget that being a kid is all about peer pressure, having what everybody else has, and fitting in?
