[QUOTE="busywend, post: 241810, member: 391"] Sheila, we had to learn the hard way....!! Just kidding! It is really new territory when your teen gets a cell. You almost have to rethink every sentence. They get around a lot of rules with a cell. My difficult child is 17 and she just got her cell for her 16th birthday. She has chores she has to do and pays part of the bill. It is good leverage to get the chores done. She does not always have the money as she has no job. I would set the rule from the beginning that it has to be turned over at night, every night if you do get him one. difficult children is a Cricket phone. Unlimited texting. I would not have gotten her a phone unless it was unlimited. She is incapable of that type of self control and I was not getting stuck with some outrageous bill. [/QUOTE]
