Is this a good lead? SUGGESTIONS PLEASE?

This is my first column. And if it is bad be harsh! i need a excellent and my whole school will be seeing this. Help me out with anything you think needs changed. Your suggestions will be in serious consideration. THANK YOU. Espiecally my introduction. Its not very good.

*Ring ring, ring ring.* you hear that sound every day, don't you? I sure do. Can you imagine what it was like when you wouldn't hear that?
My mom and dad grew up when there were absolutely no cell phones. Cell phones weren't even thought of when they were teenagers, and I know you are thinking "Wow, their old!" But when you think about it, that's not true, cell phones are only 39 years old. Can you believe that?
We got our cell phones when we were beginning 5th or 6th grade, most likely. I was in 5th grade. I remember the day perfectly, it was sunny, and I passed my test with a 100%. I came home and my dad told me if I wanted a surprise. I just thought to myself "Can this day get any better?" and it did. There it was, my first cell phone.It wasn't very fancy but I really didn't care it was a cell phone and I could call it mine.
In today's society we see touch screen phones, phones with navigation systems built in, texting, apps, music, wifi, cameras, really anything you could think of would be in a phone. The first cell phone could barely get reception.
I remember when if you wanted to have a birthday party or any party you sent hand written invitations. Some girls even had little arguments to see which invite was better and more creative; I'm actually guilty of that.In today's world you just send a text and invite them.
I walked into Wal-Mart a few weeks ago and I was in the picture frame aisle when a little girl about 8 or 9 walked right in front of me and had an iPhone texting. When I was 8 or 9 I had chalk, dolls, and a trampoline. 8 years olds are going to get wrapped up in drama life when they should be worrying about grades, family, and other important events. Not where a friend is every single second of the day.
Cells phones are fantastic and I love mine, but it's the age that bothers me; no 8 year old should have a cell phone. Some teenagers shouldn't even have a cell phone.It's the responsible having the cell phone. People use their phones for some bad reason at times; some use it for good things.At one point in someone's life I think everyone should have a cell phone.
"You never know what you have until it's gone." This is what a lot of people would say when you get your cell phone taken away or any other reason.
