In the US, I fully expect the whole "green bubble" thing to escalate into something tragic for some high school students. I didn't think much of it until I saw the bullying and dropping of people because they wanted "their blue back". If you don't get your teenager an iPhone in the US then your kid is going to face some added difficulties.
- supertrope 4y agoKids will always find a reason to bully others. Conspicuous consumption is not a solution to teaching kids about respect. Corporate marketers are eager to exploit insecurity by presenting their product as the solution to your problems, or even create a problem to create demand for their “solution.”

If you don't get your teenager Nikes/Birkenstocks then your kid is going to face some added difficulties. Kids will bully kids for not having iPhones regardless; blue texts wont change that.

FWIW, I personally don't think this ranks as something today's kids worry about. My sample size is just two, but both are on a bunch of text chains with peers. All chains are a mix of Android and iOS users, and they tell me that nobody cares.
