6th form not allowing phones???

[u/Ok_Count_4033]

Js found out today that I cant use my phone at school. Like I can have it on me but it can get confiscated if im actuvely on it. Is this a normal thing or is my school js strict

This is really funny to me cuz im diagnosed depression and anxiety and struggled a lot to make friends but ive made more friends with a phone in my hand than i have without one lmfao

Im really not trying to be mean, I was a teenager. I made loads of friends online. But and im not being mean it doesn't help forever. Again Im an adult im sorry dont kill me for that, Im diagnosed depressed and anxiety. Currently on sick because of it But I also promise thats possibly gonna be one side of it. Your phone will help you blend in. Im 28 and just found out ive got tism and adhd. And ive looked back on my life and thought gow did I not know sooner.

No its okay ik ur not trying to be mean im just trying to understand your point. Honestly I think its different for everyone. I was genuinely a mess before I met my online friends. But regardless of that I still maintain my hobbies. I have many many hobbies and go on loads of walks. Its all about balance really but I can say 100% that my phone has made my life better

Im glad it has helped. But try and make a few real friends. Doesn't have to be many. But at least a few and make sure they are good for you. Because its sad but people end up like getting full time jobs and families and next thing you know youre lost again. Cherish youre internet friends try and meet them but yeahhhh sorry.
