What’s the Deal with Cell Phones?
Cell phones (aka. A wireless, mobile) are quickly becoming a major form of communication across the world.  They go anywhere, meaning that people who have them are always reachable.  These days cell phones come in all shapes and sizes with endless features, options, and plans to choose from.
Usage ChartShould you have one?
There is no denying that cell phones are a great safety measure for anyone, young or old.  They offer a quick easy way to reach help wherever you are.  If you get stuck without a ride, or are in a situation that you can’t get out of (like a party that is out of hand) or find yourself in an emergency situation (a car breaking down late at night) you have a safe way to contact someone immediately.  Many parents find peace of mind in the fact that they are able to reach their kids at all times.
