Over time the Iphone has evolved, with more incredible features, with games, Snapchat, TikTok etc. However whenever something good happens bad always comes as well. Research suggests that a teenager should spend no more than 2 hours per day. In reality, girls spend about 5.3 hours and boys 4.4, just including social media. Here is some good advice on how to limit the amount of screen time you get.

Firstly, when you are doing your homework and studying you should keep the phone away from your desk, even perhaps in a separate room. The quote “Out of sight out of mind” is a perfect way to describe why you should do this. Keeping it out of your eyeline will make you less tempted to use it. In addition, during classes, try not to keep your phone in your pocket. I personally dislike having my phone in my pocket since it distracts me. Even though it is on silent mode, the buzzing is extremely annoying.

Phones have great usages like communicating with other people and more. It is crazy to think that only 17 years ago the first Iphone came out. With this of course are cons, the most tragic one being that about 400 people die per year because of texting and driving. Not only that but the phone attacks our “beauty sleep.” Just count the number of times you have delayed your sleep to watch a few more TikToks. Overall when something great and new happens people shouldn’t abuse it.
