There is absolutely no way a 12 yr old knows for sure

In short, I blame the parents. "Take away their phone" is likely the best solution I've heard yet. These parents must be all stars.
That's so funny - I was on another thread here and said I won't let my 11 year old son have a phone, he's too young. You wouldn't believe how many came back and told me "cut the cord" or "give him some independence" like I was somehow depriving my son by not letting him have a phone. Then you read shit like this - I stand firm in disallowing my son to have a phone until he's (either 16, 17 or 18) and can buy one for himself with the job he has. By then he will be ready for it. I know there's a lot of argument for letting a kid have a phone if they are of driving age, for road hazard, etc. I'm still iffy on that - I drove from 16 to the age of 26 without the use of a cell phone and somehow I survived, just like every person since the dawn of mass production of automobiles did. Meanwhile we will let him just be a kid without that black hole of a distraction.
A Prepaid phone for emergencies works perfectly for very little money.
Like a clamshell? Yeah I could get on board with that. No internet access = much more likely to happen. Thanks for the tip! I didn't know those were still around.
It's not always the parents. Some parents have said their child was indoctrinated at school and that the child now considers their parents bigoted and transphobic for not supporting "who they are," and that kids who come out as trans gain admiration, support, and popularity for being "so brave.
