My first phone was an Ericsson T65, and that was pre-social media era and way before you would have any use of the internet in your phone. Technically you could check you emails and such, but hardly any people would care about that :D All I cared was to able texting my friends and play 'Snake' or 'Tetris' :D

I think it is good that you Parents made you to 'earn' your phone. It shows you that hard work rewards:) I am sorry you got addicted form social media, but I think we all had to face that at some point, right?

Lovely read!
