Shocking essay "I wish my mother didn't have a cell phone" by a 2nd grade student

Jen Adams Beason, an elementary school teacher in Louisiana, USA, recently posted on her personal Facebook page a photo of a second grader's essay. With the topic: "What invention do you dislike the most?", this student said he hated cell phones the most.

"If I had to say an invention I dislike the most, I would say it is the mobile phone. I don't like mobile phones because my parents use them all the time. Using mobile phones is sometimes a very bad habit. I hate mobile phones and I wish my mother never had one."

The photo after being posted received more than 200,000 shares and many apologetic comments from parents. MemberMay GrassI wrote: "I feel so guilty towards my children. Sometimes I get so absorbed in Facebook and other interesting things on my phone that I forget about my children. I promise from now on I will put my phone away when I am with my children."

AccountTracy Glynnagree: "Too accurate. Nowadays, technology affects people's lives too much. Instead of sitting and playing with their children, parents often glue their eyes to their phones, leaving their children alone. Children feel lost, even autistic because of this reason."

"Technology was born to serve human life, it is not its fault, the fault lies with humans for being too dependent on it. I see many families where parents are focused on their phones, and their children are also using their iPads to surf. Daily life is so busy, why don't we spend more time together at home? I hope the boy's essay will awaken many parents around the world," memberMy Trinh cshare
