Does it espicially hurt young undeveloped adolescent minds or is it a bunch of bs!?? everyone litterally in my grade has a cell phone (6th grade), my mom says i'm not getting one until i'm 18 because they cause brain cancer. is this true i'm so mad not having one, feeling left out and all. How old were u when u got ur first cell phone. i don't need middle aged people that had their first cell phones when they were 20 because thats when they were invented!
