I want a phone where I can't go on the internet or read the news, just communicate with people I actually know in real life. Is there any way I can make this happen?

I have been using the app "Lock Me Out". For your use case, you could make a list of allowed apps - Phone, your SMS app, Signal, Telegram - and set a 24h restriction to only those apps. Then password-lock it so you aren't tempted to remove the restrictions.
