On my 12th birthday, I got a cell phone! I hugged mom and dad. The next morning at school, I constantly showed off my phone and asked everyone for their 1 . At the end of the day, I felt 2 to get so many contacts. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers 3 I was too busy on my phone. 4 , I didn't get caught using it. A week later, I took a test and 5 . What was worse, my mom had to sign the test. Mom was used to seeing A's on my tests. It was 6 for me to show the test. Eventually I showed her and she couldn't believe it. She was 7 and disappointed. Seeing her like that made me feel bad.
Weeks later my dad seemed to 8 the fact that I had a phone. We would argue every day about why phones are bad for us. My 9 also joined the conversation. "Anahy, I have also noticed that you never pay attention to us, your brother or sister. It's like you have your own little world now."
Then I wondered if it was 10 that I was being impolite.
A week later, I tried going a whole day 11 a cell phone. I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them. From that day, I had a different 12 towards cell phones.
Phones really take you away from the rest of the world. I'm not saying that phones are bad and not to use 13 , but you do have to make some time to spend with your family too and not get stuck with your phone all day. My phone 14 time from my homework and from my family. It also affected my grades. I will 15 using my phone, but I have it under better control now.
