OMG NO PAY PHONES !!!!!!!!! IN SHOPPING MALL, THAT IS RIDICULOUS!


Its interesting because we have way more murders, rapes and so forth nowadays and yet we have mobiles! So obvioulsy a mobile is not going to stop that. I think they are ok for if your stuck you need a pick up, but I do not let my kids anywhere that they could not use a pay phone or are likley to get stuck out in the middle of no where. And we got along just fine without them before. Just because we are on a new age dont mean they "HAVE" to have the latest gadgets. I think its how you raise a child is how they too will see things. Yep there is peer pressure, and every generation has had it, but I dont think I should give in just because of that, I want to teach her to be a strong individual . My son is turning 17 and he is nothging like the girls, he is so layed back, he goes to tafe full time as he wants to become a health and fitness trainer, and he dont give s toss what others think of him, as in peer pressure, the girls let it get to them way more. Although my 10 yearold is like my son she is you either like me or you dont!


Anyway, mobiles, hmmmmmmmm !
