I need advice. Is a phone too much for a 10 year old?

Question real quick, is a phone too much for a 10 year old? My daughter has been BEGGING me for one. She's doing great in school and at home. But is a phone too much? She doesn't have facebook or anything. She just wants one because some of her friends have one. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2iemn2S
