[quote name="My kid is getting bullied because o"]My son has a Galaxy S20 running Android, and he said to me recently he has been bullied for having such a phone because it's 'lame'. I tried to explain it's a modern enough and capable phone that can do everything the latest iPhone can do, sometimes even better. He claims all his friends have the latest iPhones and they shun Android. I own an S20 too <b>and tried to explain how you can side-load apps from F-Droid, bypassing Google Play, but he's too young (12) to understand such concepts.</b> He just wants to play a few games, do instant messaging, and do casual surfing. How do I convince him that this peer pressure is unacceptable and that iPhones are not automatically 'better' just because they're marketed as a premium brand are are nothing more than expensive jewelry?[/quote]
