Essay Draft

Nowadays, many kids have mobile phones. We often see teenagers even our sisters and brothers talking on their phones, or just as often, texting. It has become a part of everyday life, and a part of our society and sometimes it can like a pacifier for impulsiveness, which is a major component of addiction. But mobile phones can also be used for less important reasons, such as excessive amounts of texting. One big issue concerning cell phones and teenagers is the use of cell phones in school. Many student believe that cell phones should be allowed in school, especially during class. In my opinion, I disagree with this statement, this is because it can cause social problems in schools. There are 3 reasons to support my argument which are cell phones are impersonal and rather than anti-social, cyberbullying, and sexting. Firstly, mobile phones can cause social problems, which would only increase if cell phones were allowed in schools. This is because cell phones are impersonal and rather than anti-social. For instance, they will not focusing on their studies during class. Moreover, for those who taking examination, they will lose their concentration and do not much time during revision. In addition, student would lack of communication among their friends which would degenerates social skills. Therefore, student should improve their social skills, which are important in life for jobs, creating good environment with colleague and making keeping more friends. Secondly, another social problems that could occur is cyber-bullying. What is cyberbully? According to stopcyberbullying.org, cyber bully is when a child, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassment or otherwise targeted by another child using the internet. How cyberbullying works in student life, there are two kinds of cyberbullying, which is, first, direct attacks (messages sent to student directly). For example, humiliated student using instant messaging, blogs, and websites. Second is cyberbullying by proxy (using others to help cyberbully the victims, either with or without the accomplice’s knowledge). When cyberbully gets someone else to do their dirty works. Most typical way is when cyberbully

gets control of the victims and send out hateful or rude messages to everyone on their buddy list pretending to can’t get into their account. There are several effect can lead to cyber-bully to student that is undermining student confident, For example, student tend to be not going to school because their lack of confident, self-esteem and sense of security. It can affecting student performances and attendance at school and mostly dangerous is leading to suicidal thoughts. It happen regularly especially in high-school. It can effect school name and became worse. To prevent cyber-bully school should provide detailed guidance on cyber-bullying. There should understand and talk about bullying with the whole school community, they can also educate the student on cybernetics and the law. Finally, another problem with mobile phones is known as “sexting”, which is when students send nude picture, messages and video of themselves to other students. This is very inappropriate, and is illegal in some place especially in schools. Furthermore, if students has access to their phone all days, chances are the amount of sexting would increase, because of more time available to do so. Many times, student participate in sexting without thinking the consequences. But in one impulsive move, they can alter their lives from that point forward. Consequences that student suffer is experience embarrassment and humiliation, experiences bullying, experiences the end of friendship, and experience guilt and shame. Take an example for embarrassment and humiliation towards student. Potential for student to kill themselves is very high. As a result, student parent and school will feel humiliated with their child attitude. It is important for parents and school to talk with their kids about these consequences. In conclusion, these 3 reason social problems that cell phones causes or worsen that I mention anti-social among student, cyber-bullying in school, sexting between student can be more serious if cell phones were allowed in schools. In my opinion, schools must inform student, parents and staff of the misuse of technology and potential consequences can lead the school environment and even worse may bring discredit to school. All in all, schools will be better learning environment and better prepare students for life in the outside world if cells phones are continued to be banned during the school day.
