Most mobile phone companies design（设计）models especially for children. But parents are usually the ones buying the phones, and paying the phones. According to a study, 56% of parents of children aged 8 to 12 have given their children a mobile phone. Most children get their first mobile phone at the age of 12.
Many parents think it’s necessary for children to have a mobile phone because it helps children stay in touch with their friends and families. They believe that mobile phones are an important tool when something happens suddenly. Children can stay connected with their parents at all times. Some people think mobile phones help teach children to be responsible.
But other people are worried about the health and safety of children’s mobile phones. They believe that sending messages while doing homework is bad for children’s concentration（注意力）. They say that children are spending too much time sending messages instead of talking to each other. But we do need to communicate face to face. Also, the radiation（辐射）that the mobile phones give off can be harmful to young people.
