You haven't said why you don't have a phone, though we'd naturally assume that it's because your parents don't want you to have one. You can have a phone to communicate with others without it being a smartphone though. There's a growing market in dumb phones or those that aren't connected to the internet. Is there any reason why you wouldn't be able to have one of those? My wife and I are not going to allow our daughter to have a smart phone when she goes to secondary school, but she will be allowed a non smart phone that she can choose.

Hey dw I completely get that. I'm 15 and I don't have a smartphone either. I have a nokia brick phone and I only have a school computer as well. Ppl always ask me if I want a smart phone and I always say yes and no. Yes, they do have their advantages, but I don't really need one. maybe ask your parents if you can have a brick phone and you can probably move to a locked smartphone if you can prove you're trustworthy? Brick phones aren't expensive, they have a rly long battery life and you can still msg and call ppl on it. My dms are open if u wanna chat abt it 💚

I'm a 17 year old in your boat. That said, I have a very close family so it doesn't bother me. You can make friends with people physically (a whole other can of worms). I mostly just email people. It works for fairly well for me and I am even in the first tentative stages of a relationship. If people can't accommodate that, then they aren't the right kind of people.
