Cellular phones blamed on spread of teen prostitutionDate Posted: 2002-12-14 Many also said that they could not see any need for a junior high school child to have a cellular phone. Goeku Junior High School has 269 students. 43 of them possess a cell phone, but according to a survey more than 140 of them would like to get one. Only six percent of the children said that they don’t want or need to have a cell phone. Many students say that they need a cell phone to keep contact with friends. “If I suddenly remember that I need to discuss something with a friend, it’s the best just to pick up a cell phone and dial my friend’s number or send an e-mail from the phone,” a 8th grade student said. A schoolteacher participating in the forum disagreed. “It’s better not to give this young children a cell phone. They need to act on their own to meet friends as that teaches them better social skills,” the teacher said. “Besides, to use a cell phone is expensive.” |
