When family e-waste reduction efforts conflict with social pressures on teens

Our family decided to stop upgrading our phones every year but my teenager's phone is genuinely broken and all their friends have newer models and they're embarrassed and angry and I don't know if I'm teaching values or just being cheap and stubborn.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Principled choices are creating real social costs for family members who didn't fully choose them.
