My kids (mid teens) don't have smart phones. (both have a nokia).. Zero social and net access only at the kitchen table (while at home)

They have heaps of friends IRL, and hang out at the skate park, and in the mall.

They may have access to social at school, but when they're at home, online bullies have zero access.

Getting un-plugged is very easy. They've never been plugged. It's my job as a parent, and honestly nokia phones are way less expensive.
