- stathibus 3y agoParents can't just get together and decide that their 14 year olds are going to be friends.
- PakG1 3y agoThey've done that to decide that their babies are going to become a married couple for centuries! I jest, I jest....
- rationalist 3y ago14 is way too late to start, so you are correct.
- causalmodels 3y agoMy parents had the same idea but instead of smart phone use, it was religion. It wasn't so successful for them.
- Shrezzing 3y agoHaving been a teenager once myself, I can attest that there's nothing in this world that'd more successfully ostricize a kid socially, than grouping them with other isolated kids.
- rationalist 3y agoI think it depends how big the group is. If the group is 3 or 4 kids, then yes, that will be a problem. If the group is larger where they can choose who their friends are and not be constantly surrounded by others with phones, then it might work.
