"Play, play, play! You only know how to play on your phone! What future can you have holding a phone all day?!"
"Hey! Hey! I'm asking you to answer! After calling you so many times without a response, is the phone really that appealing? Laughing foolishly at your phone, have you even forgotten how to talk to people?"
"Don't let me see you using your phone while taking a shower or late at night again! Otherwise, I will absolutely smash that thing! I shouldn't have agreed to buy you a phone in the first place!"...

Haven't you heard these kinds of words, more than once?
Do you feel that outsiders, even your closest people, just don't understand you and your phone?
There are no kind or harmonious reminders, only malicious and disgust-filled threats; there are only completely subjective and twisted denials, without rational and considerate discussion.

Maybe you just need some private chat time to relax, or a recognition of value on a particular online platform—but just because the medium you use is a "phone," an electronic device widely regarded with "prejudice" in old societal opinions, you have to deal with endless nagging and even verbal abuse...

Does this make you feel confused? Start questioning your phone use, wondering if using a phone is really "harming" yourself, even losing confidence in yourself?

From one perspective, those who lack self-control indeed make the phone a "drug" that eats away at the mind. It harms both the spirit and the body.

But from another perspective, isn't the sense of achievement and the various exciting values we gain from the phone, through heartfelt communication, made possible by our phone use?

This is a pretty big topic; I hope every buddy can express their own stance.

(After being said like this, if I don't post it online, I must be heartless, right?)

(Blood said something quite standard. But, letting go of your phone completely is impossible, that's a must.))

(Using this post to make a small announcement) There have been quite a few news posts lately, and I hope friends can post some more substantial content. (If I see consecutive news posts again, I will consider deleting them.)
After the college entrance exam, basically none
Basically, I play on my phone every day.
How much longer can one be addicted to this electronic product? After starting work, you can't indulge anymore, otherwise you won't even be able to pay your phone bill.
Sigh......
You're always on your phone all day, not studying anymore, huh?
Can my forum post be featured~~ hehe
Hehe, without a phone there wouldn't be the present, but! Without hands there wouldn't be the present! Sigh, there's nothing that can be done, it's really frustrating, sigh.
Mobile phones are meant for entertainment and leisure, of course, you can also read the news or make calls.
Not being understood, even among peers, few can understand why I can remain calm all day holding a small-screen keypad phone in this era of ultra-large, ultra-thin touchscreens, because it carries a spiritual world called Java.
Reasonably allocating time is the key.
I'm in the second year of high school now, I need to study hard.
