Ahhhhhhh Yes, the Phones

 Most days on my way to school, I pass several groups of kids waiting for the bus. They are scattered across two towns so they don’t all go to the same school, but they all have one thing in common. 

They are all staring at their phones.


They’re not talking to each other or really interacting with each other in any way. They’re staring at their phones. 


These phones we all use are wonderful inventions. They connect us, help keep us safe, guide us, and keep us informed. But, they can also rob us of direct human connections. 


Think about how you use your phone. 


Is it helping you make connections with people you know in the real world…or is it getting in the way?
