Owning a Cell Phone is Rite of Passage for Teenagers
"Owning a cell is the new teen rite of passage for teens aged 11 to 17, writes TimesDispatch. "Some don't need it, but they just get it. It's like how everybody is wearing earrings," said Chelsy Becton, a Varina High School senior. "Everybody has a phone." It's the No. 1 electronic gadget that teens said they buy themselves and the one thing they couldn't live an entire day without. "Now you can't go to a concert without seeing people holding up their camera phones, taking a shot and sending it to their friends who couldn't make the concert," said Lisa Malloy, manager of corporate communications for Sprint. Customers of all ages enjoy the multimedia services, which often cost extra and can add up. Teens especially, however, view the variety in terms of self-expression. "It's all about making your phone your own," Malloy said."
Teenagers must realize that, just like the driver's license, the cell phone is a privilege and not a right. Actually the statement applies to all the cell phone users. ;-)
