Hello there, I needed to express myself and didn't know where else to do it, so I choose to do it here. I know I shouldn't mention my age, but let's just say I'm between the ages of 13 and 15, and my birthday is near. As you can see, I'm a high school student, and guess what? I'm still without a phone. What difference does it make? Let's start with the basics. One example is that before the pandemic began, I was humiliated for not having a phone. This happened in middle school. I also recall one of my instructors suggesting to us, "When you're in high school, you all need a phone. If you still don't have a phone, that's a bummer." Knowing that I still don't have a phone made me feel miserable. (Read my comment)
