103841
Heavy usage of cellphone by a highschool student can cause the following: \n(1) low proficiency in spelling (most oftn omitting the vowels from the words) since most cellphone users shorten the words to save space. \n(2) focus on studies is diverted - e.g. addiction to games installed in the cellphone unit. \n(3) diminished etiquette -  There is a sense of urgency to respond to texts/calls regardless of one's situation, be it during holy mass, meetings, family gatherings, classes, movie houses, and so on\n(4) safety risks - Cellphone users text/call while walking, driving, amd crossing the pedestrian.  \n(5) materialism - To be considered cool and popular in one's circle of friends, there is a tendency to want and demand for latest cellphone models

its a bad thing and a good thing. the good is students need it for safety, but the bad is distracting other students or probably even distract the student that has it. if i was a teacher, i would let my students bring one, but not used for inappropriate things like talking to their girlfriend/boyfriend/or some other business. school is a place to learn, not a place to mess around.

It depends on what you use it for. I use it for chatting with friends and keeping in touch with those who have moved off to college. I love it. On the other hand, if a kid uses it inappropriately, it can be very dangerous. It all depends on how you use it and if you protect yourself.

Absolutely not true. The amount of time people spend on the phone is more related to naturally occurring behavioral conditioning. That is, the more you do it the better you become at it. While there are stereotypically different communication styles between men and women (aka what Men are from Mars ... tries to describe), these stereotypes don't really hold up well when explored scientifically.

It is nauseating some times.  People are rude on their phone, they talk too loud, they talk while driving which is extremely dangerous, they talk for too long, they leave the ringer on while at the movie theater, they leave their Bluetooth hanging on their ear which looks RIDICULOUS AND PATHETIC.  By the way, it increases the risk of brain cancer.  Totally unacceptable social behaviour.  Then you have kids with cell phones, people taking unsolicited pictures of others which is an invasion of privacy.  It just drives me nuts!

Here is at least a start for you, check the spelling and ad some stuff into this............double space your one page essay and you have it made....hope this helps\n\n\nStudents find that cell phones are a necessity to carry to school in order that they can make plans with family and freinds for obtaining rides to and from school, and to activities.  \n  Any parent thinking about Columbine or 9/11 will sway towards knowing there is a necessity for their child to have a phone.  What if, just what if that child were your child at Columbine.  What if, just what if you were the parent inside the trade center that tragic day, knowing you would never talk to or see your child again, however, with the child carrying a mobile phone, you actually got to say your last good beye and more important, the child got to say good beye to you.\n  While children should be able to bring the phones to school, that is not to say that they should be using them to cheat on exams, or to chat away, play games, or listen to music while in class.  There should be rules, but the use of the cell phone, the option of carrying one to school, should be the right of every parent to allow the child to do so, and the right of each child to do so.\n  There are so many horrible things happening in our society today, from pedaphiles grabbing a child from the street to mentally deficient people deciding to bring a gun into a classroom and start shooting.  With cell phones, there is now at least a chance, not only for the child, but for the teachers, to call for help.\n   Mobile phones are a necessity, one that we must not abuse as students, but one we must be able to utilize.

Students in any school throughout the globe shouldn't be bringing cell phones to class. They should be turned off, but since I suppose most people forget to do that, then perhaps it should be legislated against. \n\nThis is because it is very disturbing to the classroom environment. If people could just learn to be polite about this, then I think they should be allowed IN school for use between classes. Again, as long as it is neither disruptive nor counterproductive (as in makes you late for class or too distracted to pay attention.)\n\nReally they should be used for emergencies only.

No!  I made it without a cell phone, so can all these spoiled little brats.  It is a distraction to say the least.  School is for learning; did you know that?  I don't think many people do anymore.  Hell, just look at the poor spelling on this site.....'Nuff said!

It has become one of the most popular forms of communication. Over the last ten years, I know personally that my phone use has gone down while my e-mailing has gone up. I could write an e-mail in five minutes and send it to 20 people instead of calling 20 people and spending at least 10 minutes on the phone with them. It is also a huge tool for gathering information. You can get statistics of trivial information on almost anything. I have noticed fewer kids at the library over the years. It has improves our lives in some ways and hurt in other ways. I do believe that many people spend too much time on their computers.

Good question that deserves an answer. Society has gotten too focused on electronics and convenience so physical activities have gone the way side. I do believe it is a matter of  personal perception as to what is fat and what is not. Being a physical minor, you should also know that muscle weighs more than fat and weight is only but a number, like age. I think the drawback from physical activities at school lies with the liability issue. Back in the day, bumps and bruises were to be expected and sometimes broken bones. In todays sue happy society, no wonder we have a nation of emerging couch potatoes and electronics wiz's for that is all they are allowed to do.  I for one broke my ankle attempting a flip from mini-tramp in gym while in high school. I was packed off to the doc, got treatment and returned to school the next day.  No one even breathed a word of litigation or any thing like that. It is a sad state of affairs the society that has emerged and perhaps in the next 30-40 years it shall change again.

Are you trying to keep cellphones in school?  If so, Emergency situations.....too many emergencies these days.  You have kids bringing weapons to school. Also, what if a fight breaks out and no teachers are around?  This is tough, this is the only thing I can think of.

I don't know what some people's problem is!  At the last college I went to, there was this guy (40-something years old) that was ALWAYS on his phone in the hallway or the courtyard or the cafeteria.  And he would always be talking incredibly loudly, so you were pretty much forced to listen to his conversation, and a lot of them were inappropriate.  I finally walked up to him and told him off after he was outside one day talking (more like shouting, actually) about some co-worker of his who had a pelvic exam and all her gynecological problems... and used her first and last name and phone number. I told him that I didn't know who that lady was, but I was pretty sure she didn't want me and the rest of the world knowing about all her personal business.  And the guy just kind of shrugged and went on his way, and told whoever he was talking to about how some "little girl"(me) was trying to teach him manners!\nAnd BlueTooth/handsfree users can be so obnoxious too!  Especially the ones who have super tiny headsets and look toward you while saying something like "Hi! How are you?" and then get annoyed when you respond!  \nI totally understand that people like having cell phones, I use mine pretty frequently, but I wish they would keep in mind that they are still in public, and they need to be polite to the people around them.

I am very old and from my perspective I wonder about the addictive nature of mobile phones and teenagers dependency upon them. I think that during a study session any interuption is unwelcome. Do they turn the phones off at these times? Do they get anxious if they do not receive calls/texts? does the compulsion to use the phone distract them from serious, productive study?
