That's harsh. I cringe to think I was ever a teenager.

I can totally see this happening, and have wondered whether it would make sense to get my kid a cellular enabled Apple Watch instead of smartphone or dumbphone. She could use it in emergencies, and she'd avoid the green-bubble stigma that dumphone/android users endure (at least in my geo area, where most of my peers have iDevices).

That seems close enough to classify as social media, for all intents and purposes.

That’s always difficult, but exclusionary slights between various clicks happen and have happened just as easily in person.
