  I don't use a mobile phone to show off
Updated 17 December 2002, 09.26
Teenagers using their mobiles
Pete disagrees with Laura about the reason for using a mobile.

"I totally disagree with Laura who says that kids can live without a mobile phone.

Kids do not use them to show off, they use them to contact friends and speak with them and txt.

Wrong place

I agree that phones are very useful when you are in trouble, and on long journeys.

Having your mobile stolen has nothing to do with how long you spend on them.

If your mobile is stolen then you are just in the wrong place at the wrong time. That's all there is to it.

Friends vs clothes

Finally, we can decide what we spend our money on.

Txting may cost a lot but at least you are becoming closer to friends in the process.

Somehow I don't think clothes are quite as rewarding as having friends."

Pete, 14, Olney
