For our conversation let's consider what happens during the stages of adolescence...
So for our blog post using the above chart, pick one or two elements of development under Early or Middle Adolescence and make an argument for or against using a phone in school. For example: During Early Adolescence as my intellectual interests expand I need a phone to engage more with what I'm interested in studying...discuss your opinion in a few coherent sentences. Do not copy my example.
Using cellphones while going through adolescence is probably not the best thing to use. During early adolescence you are just now starting to grow into a teenager, which can be very stressful. During this stage you are focused mostly on being liked and popular but social media can have an affect on that. Social media or even having a phone at this stage is just going to make your life even more stressful and would have you caught up on being liked instead of worrying about things that matter. I dont believe cell phones should be used during early adolescence.
ReplyDeleteDuring Middle Adolescence, having your phone is actually a good idea, because you are growing into an adult and starting to be independent, which you need your phone to help you out to find information and your friends to contact them as you are growing apart from your parents and gonna be on your own. You would also need it while you are doing your own thing, to contact them if you really need it for emergences. Of course they shouldn't be used during Early Adolescence because you are already stressed out on growing into a lady and the social media will be more of a distraction to you. Phones should be sued during Middle, not Early Adolescence.
ReplyDeleteThe use of cell phones during middle adolescence is probably not the best idea because during that adolescence you tend to focus much on social media that in other things. For example you tend to focus more on your phone than on your parents. You would worry about things that are not as important than it needs to be. Its also is not good to use your cell phone during this development because it can lower your confidence about your body. Using your phone during middle adolescence i think it should not be used because it effects you in the way you act or feel.
ReplyDeleteI think that having a phone during the middle adolescence growth period has its benefits and its down falls. Due to the fact in Middle adolescence everything from our physical appearance to our mental values change. A phone may not be beneficial because we will turn to social media to see if we are popular and if people like us judging by how many likes we get on a post and that will effect your self esteem if you only get 1 like and mean comments compared to another individual who gets thousands. However having a phone can also be beneficial as young people we would access to more and more knowledge
ReplyDeletei dont think that the use of phones during middle adolescence is a good idea. Because during that time you focus more on social media, and you should look a certain way. You can lower your confidence, and get caught up on your phone instead or interacting with your parents. I think you should wait until you're more mature and have developed confidence.

ReplyDeleteI believe having phone restrictions during middle adolescence is very important. Becoming adults and becoming independent you need to focus on your future and not how likes your photo gets. Your mental stamina weakens when using social media 24/7. Using your phones when work should be done is not good. When parents take your phone so you are forced to focus on hw and chores is good discpline.
ReplyDeleteCellphones in school can affect students in negative and positive ways. But the more rational argument is that they distract us from what's really important, our education. As stated in the chart above, students ages 14-18, high schoolers, are still adjusting to who they want to be or who they are becoming. Along with that they have to balance out school work, friends, family, and any after school activities. Using a phone in school will just distract you and lead to a chain reaction of problems within your life.
ReplyDeleteThe use of cell phones isn't the best idea while people are going through middle adolescence. This is because when people are going through middle adolescence they are figuring out who they are and can be rough about how social they are. Using a phone during this time cant help the kid get through what they are going through. The phone can be used as a weapon and it wouldn't end well. Cell phones effects the way you act and the way you feel about yourself and about certain things.
ReplyDeleteThe use of cells phones during the Early adolescence is because than the person could get addicted easier. When your younger you'd have less self control. If your younger and you use a phone during school you would just be on the phone the entire time. Also the phone could probably start to control their life and social media could influence the way they live.
ReplyDeleteThe use of cell phones in school isn't the best idea for Middle Adolescence during this important and crucial period of growth. Middle Adolescence usually range from ages 14-18. Although during this period of time adolescence physical growth starts to slow down they are still developing socially and emotionally. The use of cell phones in school would most likely impact this social-emotional development negatively because instead of interacting with the people around the adolescent (which helps shape the adolescent both socially and emotionally) they would be isolating themselves from others around them subconsciously.
ReplyDeleteThe use of cell phone isn't good idea because popularity can be an important issue, so we can distracted during the class. Also we are still developing socially and emotionally. The use of cell phones in school is likely to negatively affect this social and emotional development, because instead of communicating with people around the teenager that helps to form a teenager both socially and emotionally, they will isolate themselves from others, unconsciously
ReplyDeleteThe use of cell phones during Middle Adolescence is not a very good idea. I say this because children during this age might still be trying to find out who they are. Cell phones would also just be a big distraction from the real world. Different types of social media could distract them from their education. Teens around this age group would probably not even wanna hang or go out with family or friends because of this.
ReplyDeleteSB : sorry Mr.T for now doing this, i realized there was nothing here probably due to the fact of me writing something and forgetting to post it.
