Read the following content and write any 2 persuasive arguments either in favor of or against the topic.
Mobile Phones Should be restricted under 18

 Hi friends! We all know the benefits of a mobile phone. Although it is useful, it should not to be allowed in schools because school is a place where we learn how to read & write and become a good citizen. The mobiles should not be held in children's hands especially in school because their attention goes towards it and they can't study attentively. 
 Mobile phones should be strictly prohibited in the school. Because it is not useful in the school. Students come at school for study not for chatting on mobile. They also misuse the mobile. So it should be prohibited strictly in the school. 
Mobiles should not be allowed in schools because it is very distractive for the students. Also the students keep showing it off to their friends which develops a sense of inferiority complex among the students. I think if children are given cellphones they should also know when it has to be used and how, so it does not harm them in any possible way.
 All the technological innovations are basically there to make life more easy. At the same time, they can create negative impact on individuals using them or society as a whole, if abused . School going children, being too young and inexperienced would not be able to apprehend fully the fall out of a technological innovation, like mobile, hence, it would not be advisable to encourage them to use mobile at all.

  1. I don't agree with the given topic. That is because, there are a lot of legitimate arguments that I can prove against the opposition. Like, cellphones can help us in our daily lives in a lot of ways. However, if we misuse it then that's our fault.
    When you talk about children not paying attention in class, the teacher can snatch away his/her cell phone and not give it back till that person promises not to use it again. And, if someone gets lost on there way home from school.. they can always use their cell phone to contact their parents/guardian.
    Therefore, cellphones should not be restricted under 18!

  3. I agree with it because mobile phones can cause cancer risk in children and it does not teach them anything.The other reason is that mobile phones are effecting the studies of children because when under 18 children get mobile so they misuse it by texting and sending bad things.
    So I think "Mobile Phones Should be restricted under 18"

  4. I am against this topic because cellphones have become very useful in these days and I think that cellphones should be allowed in school.Using cellphones in class should not be allowed but sometimes children need to call their parents to assure them that their son/daughter are OK.In that case cellphones should not be showed off as this is not the purpose of allowing cellphones in schools.Hence,cellphones should not be restricted under 18.

  5. According to my thinking the use of mobile phones should be heavily restricted because today's youth is being destroyed and cellphones are to blame.These days you may see a cellphone in almost everybody's hands and this causes children to lose their concentration during class and not be attentive.Technology has also improved trying to make mankind's life easier but not the whole world can have positive outcomes, so cellphones should be restricted under the age of 18!

  6. No! I think that mobile phone should be restricted under 18. It is a very useful thing for us because if any emergency is there so we can tell our parents. And it help us in many way but if we miss use it so it's our mistake. And if we re living in Uk,USA so they recommend there children that they should have a cellphone.I am not agree with the topic that mobile phone should be restricted under 18.

  8. I agree with it because mobile phones it is destroying the today's youth. I does not teach them any thing. It is a wastage of time and money. It waste money because children buy new phones which are expensive. Parents should restrict the children to buy the cell phones under 18 and I think there should be a law from the government that children under 18 could not buy cell phones because it waste children time and disturb there studies. Cell phones are the one reason of students not paying attention to the studies which make them fail.

  9. i agree with the statement that mobile phones should not be allowed in school because students can misuse them..but,mobile phones should not be restricted under 18 because they are helpful for everyone not only for the people above 18 so mobile phones should be there for everyone,either for above 18 or under 18. in case of emergency we can contact to our parents,but if we dont have any cell phone we cant contact them!!!

  10. I don't agree with the given topic because mobile is very useful for people and it helps in many ways.But children s are using it by wrong way and that is there fault not mobile because mobile is a machine and how a person will use it the mobile don't know.So mobile phones are very helpful and everyone should have it because if there would be any emergency so they can contact with each other.

  11. I Do Not Agree With This Statment Beacuse Phones should not be banned from school. However, they should be kept on silent mode during lessons.The student that I mean is above 13 years old because they can contact their parents if they miss their transport to go home. I know we can use school public phone but how about the student who takes two buses to go home? how would they contact their parent if they miss their second transport? Hence mobiles is necessary for students.
