Why do we kids need an iphone?

I mean when your an adult i understand you need one because of business and you need to call people that will get you money. But when your my age i don' t understand why you would need one i mean i see lot's of kids my age (14) have iphone 6's and there parents have a flipphone, And all they do is just play games and go on snapchat or instagram or maybe sometimes withought their parents looking omegle? It just does not make sense can anyone tell me why it is good to have a phone this age because i just have an ipod 4th generation and i'm happy with what i have.

OK, you be happy with what you have, the rest of us will be over here in the 21st century.

You don't… It's the "want" for one, not the "need". As for everything else - people wanna follow trends, they wanna feel apart of a cumulative group.

We too busy worrying about and trying to fascinate our friends on what we have which is sad.

  • Why do so many kids these days have no respect for the things they get? A lot of kids these days get mad if they don't get a new iphone, ipad or laptop, game station, etc. When my friends and I were kids we and the other kids had legos, gameboys, Nintendos, and crayons with coloring books. But everything was appreciated. More kids were greatful then. Why aren't today's kids as greatful? Especially since everything works better now.
  • Why do so many kids have iphones, blackberrys, and smart phones? I mean little kids as young as 5 years old. It really does annoy me because they are little and don't need a really expensive phone just for emergencies. I always see them on the phones and ipods. My brother is almost in middle school and has the cheapest phone. And i'm in highschool and my phone is nowhere near the expesive phones the elementary kids have infact my phone is used so i got for free.
  • Why do kids get free lunch but walk around with Iphones? I see so many people walk around with Iphones and they tell me they are on free lunch. What? If you can't afford lunch, why do you have an iphone? I even asked one of them that. They said because it's easy to get it, just tell the school one of your parents don't work. Wtf? Is the government going to crack down on this? People just don't pull Iphones out of their but. 300 bucks for the phones plus damn near 100 bucks a month after.
  • Why are kids so Spoiled Nowadays What the hell?! I See little children with IPhone's, IPads, Expensive clothes and all these other Technological things. I Grew up in South Korea and all we had were Plushies, dolls and a bit of T. V I Did enjoy all these things:3 more than the things nowadays…
