Re: When you have a daughter....

Another thought. When I get my daughter a cell phone (probably for her 13th B-day) it will not have a text message feature. 13-17 year olds do not "need" to text each other. They can use the phone or exchange email if they "need" to communicate.

Just a life of what she needs then? bread and water?

Can anyone please give me a reason other than status or vanity as to why a 13 year old needs to have a text messaging cell phone? I want her to have the phone as a safety issue. Of course, she can call her friends anytime she wishes.
What is the BFD with text messaging? Are we heading to a society where everyone will just text message each other. I want my daughter to learn how to build relationships. This requires more interaction than AIM can give. When she is older, I'm sure that AIM will be allowed, it's just at this point it isn't on the table.
