How's the bully's parents? A dad shows me proof my kids been bullying and
I whoop his butt from here to season tickets at rice chex in BYU gear. Starting with getting rid of his phone.
Especially when he's young. My kid pulls that stunt in 5th grade and he's building fences in the cold, just like in the seminary vids.

Are people really giving their kids phones these days in high school?

Of course not. They are in fifth grade. High schoolers with cells? Crazy talk!

You asked if people really gave phones to kids in HS. The answer is: ABSOLUTELY

It's the best way for parents to communicate with kids. That, and, why shouldn't they have one?
