Barbie phone (Feature Phone) over smartphone

[louloubooboo1906]

Looking at getting my about to be 11 year old a feature phone. Calls, txts, listen to MP3’s radio. I love the Barbie phone it’s fun and I think she would love. In September she’s y7 and I’m worried she could be teased or picked on as it’s not a smartphone and ultra pop pink Barbie. Any ideas or suggestions x

She'll be teased because it is Barbie, not because it's not a smart phone. Just get a plain brick phone.

No!

Unless she's asked specifically for a Barbie phone, it's a bad idea.

I think it looks cool too but who knows what the kids think there days haha

I love it 🥰 but my dd is only 8 so it would still be cool, I imagine past 10 it may be seen as babyish which is sad 😔

Why not ask her?

Some kids have the confidence to own "unique" things, and make them cool...

Other kids don't care about being cool and would rather do their own thing

Most kids are not either.

Give it to her if she likes it now, but be prepared to buy a new one if it causes trouble.

Get her a plain phone, she can personalise it herself with stickers etc.

Does she like Barbie? If yes, then go for it, but if no, then get her a plain phone

Absolutely not she will get teased.
