    • as long as you are using you phone in a responsable way and you are also spending quality time with your family and comminicating you would be fine.

  • They have the right to be worried, but my parents are on their phones more than my siblings and I are. It's mostly due to work, but still. Even if we plan on doing something as a family, my mother has to ruin it by texting and calling people at work. So in my family, we use our phones a lot. 

    • well yea, your parents are on their phones a lot but they are using it in a productive way. Thats good that they still make plans to spend quality time toguether.

  • honestly I dont think my mom is concerned and I think it should be based on the parents. If they dont wantt here kids to sit on there phones all day then they should do something about it. I spend a decent amount of my time on my phone when im at home or by my self but it just depends whats happing if im with my frinds or my mom I usally try to stay off of it. 

    • As long as you are still spending quality time with your mom and doing activities toguether i see nothing wrong with it!

    • Yea i dont really see a problem with us being on our phones as long as we are still spending quality time with our family than we are good. although we should also leave our phones aside and do some activities that doent involved our ohones.

  • If you are indeed on your phone a lot then your parents have the right to be concerned. Phones really aren't that great for you to be on all day, which is why parents get concerned when you are on them a lot. I definitely think you should spend less time on your phone and more with your family.

    • I agree spending too much time on our phones can be bad at a certain point and we should defenetly spend more time with our family and communicate with them.

  • I think that they should be concerned. Your parents typically want you to have the best and most fulfilling childhood. If half of your waking hours are you being on your phone, you are losing half of your life normally on something that you are not learning anyting from.

    • Thats true being on our phones too much can be bad and i think we should defenetly spend more time with our family and make more memories with them instead of wasting our time on our phones.
