0:00:21 > 0:00:25Whether you have one, don't have one, or you're about to get one,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27it's all about phones.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Sometimes I think this is the best thing.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33And sometimes I think it's the worst thing ever.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36All the things we love about our phones.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Versus not love about our phones.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Chatting.- Taking up all my time.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Apps and games. - Losing Wi-Fi connection.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- Taking pics. - Always being told to put it down.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- Great to organise seeing friends. - Am I safe?
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Easy to send messages to my family.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Always getting messages from family.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Kittens.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Yep, it can really be a love-hate relationship.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06I've just got my first phone and I've wanted one for a while.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10It means I can text my friends and find out if they're free.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Some people do use their phones too much,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15but I think I've got a good balance.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17I sometimes decide to put it down
0:01:17 > 0:01:19and think about other things instead.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23I know I'm on my phone way too much,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26sometimes before school instead of getting ready.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31My mum's caught me many times and told me off in the mornings.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I think my parents should cut the Wi-Fi off,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35cos I can't help myself.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Whether you have one
0:01:38 > 0:01:40or you are about to get one,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43being smart and safe on your phone is very important.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46You know how important it is to stay safe online.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Use the same rules with your phone.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49And some of the things you can put on the internet
0:01:49 > 0:01:52will be there forever, so don't share things
0:01:52 > 0:01:55that you won't be comfortable letting other people see.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57I love my phone, cos I can interact with my friends
0:01:57 > 0:01:59when I'm not with them,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and I can also arrange times to meet up in the real world.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Be disciplined and make smart decisions
0:02:04 > 0:02:06on how you're going to use your phone.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I've definitely made mistakes with my phone, like many other people,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11such as typing the wrong thing,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14and although I use my phone a lot, I feel like I have it under control.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Having a phone has its advantages.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20It's quick and easy to connect
0:02:20 > 0:02:22with those we care about.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Not having a phone also has its advantages.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Without a phone, we have to interact more with the real world,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31talk to people face-to-face.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Phones should not be the only way we connect with those we know
0:02:34 > 0:02:36and who care about us.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38So try putting your phone down.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Get outside, meet up with friends
0:02:41 > 0:02:43and go and talk to your family.
