How do you stay social when you don’t have a phone?

Chat with people during free time, such as on the bus, before class starts, or during lunch. (Don't talk when the teacher is teaching!) Try joining a club or a sports team to meet new people. You can also invite friends over to your house or visit friends' houses. It might seem odd today, but ten years ago, many kids your age didn't have phones and still led active social lives. Focus on the things you can do. Don't be afraid to ask to borrow a friend's or teacher's phone if you need to call or text to let your family know that you want to go visit a friend after school.
