Hi there!



My friends are kind enough to email important information to me, so I don't miss out too much, but it's really inconvenient, and even though they don't tease me at all, I can't help but feel a little left out.



Not only is it important for my high school life, but in March of next year, I get a driving permit, and then soon after that, my license!



Throughout the end of last year and all of this year, I've been essentially without a phone.



Twenge's research found that teens who spend five or more hours per day on their devices are 71 percent more likely to have one risk factor for suicide.



I know there are lots of mothers in the comments on this that say that they were perfectly happy growing up without phones, but this is a new generation.



It's like "I get that my life sucks, but you don't need to point it out".
