lol plenty of kids emulate and respect their parents dawg.

  Respect, sure. But emulate while they're at the stage of life where they're actively trying to forge their own identity that's separate from them, hell no.

    'hell no' is pretty strong. Lots of people that grow up in a stable household, with mothers and fathers they respect, will naturally imitate and emulate them. Monkey see, monkey do. Also, phone choice as 'rebellion'? That's just silly - how the hell does getting a Pixel when your parents use an iPhone help you establish an 'identity separate from them'? That's an all time reach - that's like me saying because I hate my dad, I'm going to start using Mac because he used Windows.

      You've swung completely the other way when what I'm saying is the middle. 1. Teenagers aren't choosing their phone because it what their parents use. 2. Teenagers aren't choosing their phone because they want to rebel. 3. Teenagers are choosing their phone independently of their parent's choices because that's the phase of life they're in -- the one where they develop independence.
