​Hey, You! Turn Off That Phone!

​Today, mobile phones ring anywhere, any time. They are

becoming ever more popular among young people; parents even buy phones for children as young as seven in order to

be able to locate them if they get lost.

But young people with mobile phones need to keep a few rules in

mind. They should be careful about not talking or texting to

strangers, and they should keep their phone bills from

skyrocketing. Choosing a phone with a prepaid calling card is

one very good option."

​

Youngsters should also be taught common rules of courtesy."

such as turning phones off in theaters and places of worship

(they can be set on vibrate). If people don't use common sense

when they use their phones, these convenient gadgets can

become a headache no remedy can cure.
