Same. Everyone else had phones back in high school while I only had my trusty, dusty chromebook. I was already in a Christian household, so that combined with the fact I wasn't indoctrinated early on and during the whole BLM craze cause even I knew from the beginning how stupid that was, I really can thank myself for never actually being interested in having a phone until I had one be plopped in my front of my lap when I got to college.
It's funny. I didn't even actively pursue my interest around the internet until the 2020s, both the same year of the whole George Floyd riots and my first introductions to Kiwifarms, though I stayed as a lurker for 4-5 years. I'm pretty sure even without a phone, I still wouldn't have fallen into the whole indoctrination of things that were being pushed all over our faces.
