Ok. Asking for a two hundred word essay when you can't even type up a real sentence is pushing it. But I will share my ideas on this. Teenagers really don't need mobiles. Just like very few of them really need to be driving. I'm 16. I don't want a phone. All it does is run up bills, and just keeps you "connected" to people that annoy the piss outta you anyway. It's become so damn important for most teenagers to be able to "chat" ALL THE TIME. I don't get it. Then there's the ones who have to have a car, which also is paid for out of daddy's wallet, even with gas prices the way they are, and all they do is "cruise" with friends in the car anyway, and make other people's insurance go up because there are too many teenage drivers. I can see having a phone if the kid has a job. I can also see having a car if the kid has a job. But just to "chat" and "cruise", I sure as hell don't think so. Not when the parents have to pay for all or even most of it.

My answers shouldn't be at least 200 anything. ANYWAYS. No one REALLY NEEDS a mobile, but if I were a parent I would supply my child with one that has limited use of mins or texts. Probably a prepaid for emergency use and so that I can contact them when they are out with their friends etc..

Yes they do. And here is a really good reason:-
A mobile or cell(ular) (tele)phone is a long-range, portable electronic device for personal telecommunications over long distances.
Most current mobile phones connect to a cellular network of base stations (cell sites), which is in turn interconnected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) (the exception are satellite phones). Cellular networks were first introduced in the early to mid 1980s (the 1G generation). Prior mobile phones operating without a cellular network (the so-called 0G generation), such as Mobile Telephone Service, date back to 1945. Until the mid to late 1980s, most mobile phones were sufficiently large that they were permanently installed in vehicles as car phones. With the advance of miniaturization, currently the vast majority of mobile phones are handheld. In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone, a mobile phone can support many additional services such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for access to the Internet, and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video.
The world's largest mobile phone manufacturers include Audiovox, BenQ-Siemens, High Tech Computer Corporation, Fujitsu, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, NEC, Nokia, Panasonic (Matsushita Electric), Pantech Curitel, Philips, Sagem, Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp, SK Teletech, Sony Ericsson, T&A Alcatel and Toshiba.
The world's largest mobile phone operators include Orange SA, China Mobile and Vodafone.
There are also specialist communication systems related to, but distinct from mobile phones, such as Professional Mobile Radio. Mobile phones are also distinct from cordless telephones, which generally operate only within a limited range of a specific base station. Technically, the term mobile phone includes such devices as satellite phones and pre-cellular mobile phones such as those operating via MTS which do not have a cellular network, whereas the related term cell(ular) phone does not. In practice, the two terms are used nearly interchangeably, with the preferred term varying by location.

No, they need a job. Trust me. If they can handle a job enough to afford a mobile, then go for it.

I repeat (as you just did with your question)
If this is an assignment.......use your own 200 words.

Its not the matter of need. Its just the matter of wanting, and having so called "status".
