A teenager who treats her (and it is almost Always Female) landline phone or cell phone as if it were the most important thing in the world and is on it constantly. This almost always leads to an insanely high bill. If she uses a cellphone, she may feel more comfortable texting than actually interacting with other people. When she has to babysit kids, she might not care about them. Her preferred place if the phone is wireless or a cell phone is her bedroom, and she will be invariably shown lying prone on her bed, languidly kicking her legs back and forth and/or wriggling her feet while gossiping with some female friend, or maybe her boyfriend. Rarely, she might be doing likewise at a payphone, while The Hero desperately waits to use it. When put in danger, she might treat Social Media Before Reason. Or she might find out firsthand that Cell Phones Are Useless. In The New '10s, this might include the temptation to take a selfie before even considering to put herself out of danger or taking a selfie in an inappropriate place (such as at a memorial, or on the edge of a cliff, or in a house of worship), or taking "too many" selfies (and uploading all of them to social media). This trope is older than cell phones; it goes back to the proliferation of the home telephone. In the days before cell phones, this often involved a gag about there being only one phone in the house (or two phones on the same line where each extension could listen in on the other). This made it impossible for the poor parents to call while the Bratty Teenage Daughter tied things up. And in The '90s, when the only Internet available to residential homes was 56K dial-up, someone was trying to go on the Internet while she tied up the phone yakking with her friends or playing No, You Hang Up First with her boyfriend. For this reason, some parents would (if they could afford it) get her a dedicated phone line of her own and/or a dedicated phone line for the Internet modem. Even before the internet, going back to the days of BBS, many serious modem users, whether they had teenagers or not, often installed a second phone line for modem use for this reason. Serious sysops would put in several lines to handle multiple connections at once. As teenagers started moving from landlines to mobile phones for their communication, as well as internet access being replaced from dial-up modem to a separate cable or DSL line, the trope mutated into its modern incarnation, where the teenager spends every waking minute of the day texting and talking over their smartphone. Classic trait for the Alpha Bitch, Valley Girl, Bratty Teenage Daughter, and other teenage stereotypes. Technologically Blind Elders is the flip side of this trope. Selfie Fiend is a related trope where someone loves taking photos of themself with their phone. |

Wonder Woman (1987): While it's not a phone Kris Lazarus is glued to his handheld game system until he ends up mortally wounded. There are plenty of signs he was a pretty nice and considerate kid despite his gaming addiction, but when his grieving father tried to recreate him as an AI the only thing that seems to have made it across is that gaming addiction, which does not mix well with his father's explosively unstable Hard Light AI experiments. | |

The mobile game Marvel Strike Force (surely an ironic place to find this) re-imagines Kamala Khan into one. Her win pose is taking a selfie with her team. When she makes the kill blow on an enemy, she quickly takes a selfie with them before sending them flying out of the ring. Extending arms sure are useful. | |

Bye Bye Birdie has a musical number about teens spending too much time on the phone called "Telephone Hour". The conversation subject is the news that Kim Mac Affee and Hugo Peabody are going steady, which all the teens are eager to share... except for nerdy Harvey Johnson, who's just trying to find a prom date, with no success. | |

House of Cards (US) does it early in season 1: some teenage girl crashed her car while texting some sort of joke about the Peachoid, a real-life water tower in Gaffney, South Carolina, and Frank Underwood is being blamed for it because he had a hand in the Peachoid's construction and the structure had often been criticized as a potential distraction for drivers. The girl crashed not because she was distracted by the Peachoid, but because she posted on social media about being distracted by it; however, Frank can't point that out because he'd look like an asshole. | |

It's actually a game mechanic in Yandere Simulator. Certain students have the 'Phone Addict' persona, which in terms of gameplay means that they use their phones enough to think to snap a photo of you if they catch you murdering someone, and then send it to the police or upload it to social media, thus giving the police rock-hard proof that you're a murderer. You get arrested, Game Over. Current Phone Addicts are the Bullies (Musume Ronshaku, Kokoro Momoiro, Kashiko Murasaki, Hoshiko Mizudori, and Hana Daidaiyama), and the Gaming Club besides the leader Gema Taku (Midori Gurin, Pippi Osu, Ryuto Ippongo, and Mai Waifu). | |

Later in the same cartoon, a boy from school tries to call Katie while her dad is on the phone, and when her dad takes the call but doesn't catch the boy's name for her, she goes ka-boom. | |

The 2023 Total Drama reboot gives us Julia, who is usually seen with a smartphone in hand, usually browsing through social media or keeping her followers updated on the competition. It's revealed in the first episode that she sneaked various phones past Chris and Chef, as phones are strictly prohibited from the competition. Justified, considering that she's a teenage girl. | |

Downplayed with Tsukasa from Lucky Star; while she's not obsessed with her cellphone, she briefly becomes addicted to texting after she gets the hang of it. It gets to the point that she texts Kagami constantly (even though they're twin sisters who spend most of their time together) and adds an entire wall of emojis at the end of one text, and the Hiiragi family's phone bill skyrockets from her texting habits alone. | |

I and You: Because Caroline is too sick to leave the house, she's grown to depend on her phone to let her stay connected to things outside her house. It's pointed out that when she actually gets to interact with people in person she uses her phone as a way to keep them at a distance, for instance being more preoccupied with friending Anthony on Facebook than his attempts to actually befriend her. | |

In Helluva Boss, Loona, the hellhound receptionist who's in her early 20's but also the youngest member of the cast, is almost always fixated on her cell phone. This interferes with her job, which is part of Moxxie's complaints about her in the pilot. It's later revealed that she had the same phone when she living in at the hellhound adoption center, and her cell phone addition may be a result of her troubled childhood. This trope is exploited in "Seeing Stars". Octavia, Stolas's 17-year-old daughter, is also a regular social media user. When she steals the Grimoire and runs off to Los Angeles, she has a habit of taking selfies in front of places she visits and posting them on Sinstagram. This is what allows Loona to track her down and bring her home. |

In Monster Prom, Valerie the shopkeeper is presented like this. She always has her phone in hand, often looking at it rather than at the player when they visit her shop. She'll look up from it if she has something to say, but she's also only managing the store to buy a new phone. The sequel, Monster Camp, features the new main romanceable option Milo Belladonna, who is even moreso an example of this trope than Valerie, tying in with their status as a social media influencer who enjoys online popularity and keeping up. |

Tiny Toon Adventures: "I Was a Teenage Bunny-Sitter" (part of "The Acme Home Shopping Show") opens with Babs chatting on the phone with her friend Harriet, but then she has to leave to babysit and says she'll call back. After meeting the parents there, she makes a sandwich and calls Harriet back, only to hang up when she has to make mashed potatoes for Duncan (the kid she's babysitting). At the end of the cartoon, Babs is sleeping on the couch while Duncan is the one chatting on the phone. "Take Elmyra Please": Amanda Duff, Elmyra's older sister, is seen talking on the phone with her friend, Stephanie. She has to call her back later when her Mother needs her help calming her baby brother back to sleep when he awakens from his crib and causes a mini-rampage through the living room. During her conversation, she tells Stephanie she's lucky to live with a family whose parents are always gone and without brothers, sisters, or pets. |

A lot of the characters in Simple Complications are regularly using their phones, but Kira's younger sister Aiko really fits this trope as she didn't even bother to look away from it when talking with Kira. | |

Sonic In X Minutes: In the "Forces" series, Infinite starts off as a stoic, perpetually uninterested character who is always looking down at a smartphone. While it's unknown how old Infinite is, he has the spirit of this trope, and most of the animal characters in the Sonic franchise are teenagers anyway. But later in the series, as Infinite starts getting more focus, he stops using the smartphone and takes a more active role in the story. | |

South Park: He's not a teenager, but, in "Buddha Box", Cartman claims being left alone with his cellphone is the only remedy for anxiety, so the titular box enables him to isolate himself entirely from his surroundings with it. Pretty soon half the town uses it, not just kids. | |

Daughter from Dad is often seen on her phone, either in order to talk to Griffin, or to put on music Dad finds annoying. She spends the entire 4K-Subscriber special using Mom's phone, and after she gets a new phone from a server agent, she's seen using two phones at once. | |

Made fun of on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Buffy isn't responding to the Scoobies trying to call her. Giles suggests she might just have her phone unplugged, but Xander responds "It's a statistical impossibility for a teenage girl to unhook her phone." | |

Midori from Space Patrol Luluco is a middle school girl, but still is never seen without her space smartphone in her hands. Justified since she's a Gyaru Girl stereotype and because the illegal black hole app she uses is actually a plot point. | |

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle: Bethany's Establishing Character Moment is her elaborately staging a 'casual' selfie, she gets detention for talking on her phone while the class is supposed to be taking a quiz, complains that she has got no reception while doing detention, and complains constantly about not having her phone when she is trapped in the game, to the point where Alex asks her if the word 'phone' means something different in the future. That being said, she's given a more nuanced portrayal than the trailers imply; when the others complain about her complaining about not having a phone, she points out that having a phone with reception would be pretty damn helpful right now. | |

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (2023): 13-year-old Casey, Lunella's best friend and PR girl, always holds her phone with her to record her friend's superhero exploits on social media. In "Moon Girl Landing", she briefly shows more concern that her knocked-out phone is okay over Lunella's embarrassing first hero outing, for which she apologizes. When under the possession of a teenager, the alien symbiote Syphonator becomes a monstrous rare male example. He specifically has a second pair of arms to always be texting and trolling on the internet, while trying to pummel Lunella with his free arms. |
