ok, i'm 14, and i dont have a cell phone. am i really the only one taht doesnt? at my school, so many people bring them to school, that they've actually changed the rules and allow u to have them at school. i asked my parents a couple of times to get me one, but they say i dont need it. their pretty much right, i dont really NEED a cell phone, but id like to have a private line so that people can call me and i'll be the one to pick up..and id like to be able to go out and not have to ask friends to use their phones..

so yea..am i the only average 14 year old without one?!


<<<<<<<<<<EDIT!>>>>>>>>

i just got one today ....i love it..haha....yea..it'll get old after a while though..

ehh i don't know. most of my friends have them... and then there's maybe a few that dont. ratio is probably 7:1 students that have phones here in my area.

but you're 14--which is middle school, so i'm not sure about back then. i'm gonna be a sophomore--so most people probably already have one.

i got my first one in 6th grade when i was 12 but then, a month later, i left it in my pocket and it was washed in the washing machine and was ruined . wow i was an idiot.

and then, this, year (3 YEARS LATER), i got another one---and less than a month later---i lost it on the bus for this orchestra uil competition

and i loved that phone

and thne i got another on in march--and i've had it ever since. not sure how it relates to having one or not--but that's my story

A lot of 8th graders at my school don't have them. Shrug.

TOPIC MOVED TO THE LOUNGE

& no. i am 15 and i don't have a cell phone. don't worry about it. PLENTY of people don't have cell phones.

like everybody i no has one..or two i've had mine since i was 10 or 11 i've broke 5 phones since then 3 motorola T720's a kyocera thingy and my favorite one samsung lg camera phone now i'm back to motorola lol so yeah if you lived here you'd be the only one without one

I'm almost 15 and cell phone deprived. it's ok.

It's weird.. I had one when I was like 10 or 11.. but not now!
stooopid.

i have one..well actually had one..until my parents took it away..
but my parents didnt let me give my numbers out to my friends..so it was kind of useless...

No, I really doubt that.
Trust me, I'm 14 and my cell-phone isn't my lifeline.

i dont have one yet .. im gonna get in near september cus my dad has a plan thingy from t-mobile >.<

i don't have one.
dont feel bad. all my friends have them too. but i dont.

you dont always need to get one.

besides... it's not like you're only the person in the planet who doesnt have a cellular phone.

i mean there is a guy who is 45 and doesnt even have a cellular phone.

i got one in sixth... so that was like um... (math... i hate it)... okay so i was elven when i got one : )

but my dumbass sister got one when she was in 3rd grade... thats stupid cause she didnt even need one back then...

A lot of people here have them but really though, do they NEED them? no.

I have one but that's only cause I bought it myself. It's been five months and I realized I don't really NEED one and I only liked the idea of having one.

I think it's pointless how I see like 10 year old girls around my area who have cellphones clipped onto their jeans to think they're like cool or something. No, seriously.. why do 10-year olds need cellphones? That makes me mad.

i got my phone in 6th grade

Yeah, guess you are the only one that doesn't have one. LIKE OMG! I DON'T HAVE A CELLPHONE, I'M GOING TO DIE!! What does it really matter if you have a cell phone...you obviously want one just to go along with everyone else. Don't be a follower. And yes, i have a cell phone.

well ~_~ i didnt get one until i was 17 but it really sucked seeing eveyr one i knew with one

Yeah, I got mine in 6th grade. I wouldn't say you're the ONLY 14 year old without one, but.. lots have them.

Do you really need one, anyway?

I didn't get mine til I was 15, but I needed it.

i'm about to be 18 and i dont got a phone.

I just got my phone the day before yesterday. I don't really need it, but hey! (:

i have one, but see no point in em.

they make house funs that are one flat out monthly rate. use that instead of waiting til 7-9...depending when night minutes start to call.

i honestly think cell phones are pointless and it doesnt make you cool like it used to. like if you go to school kids would be like "hey let me see your cell phone!" or "omg you have a phone? you are so cool."

big whoop

I don't care to much for cell phones.
They make it really hard to get away from it all.
However I'm not allowed to leave the house without a phone
so I got one. No BS with a camera phone and junk like that.
I only use my phone to call my mom when I go out to call her if there is a change of plans. Like last year my friends and I were at a club, we left to my friends house which happens to be in an area where I don't get any service what so ever. ANYWAYS That club we were at caught on fire, my mother didn't know where I was and she was freaking out. Of course I was oblivious to any information about the fire. So when I called my mother in the morning to ask her if she wanted me to bring her anything from Ihop she was relieved but so mad that I didn't call. Needless to say I was in trouble. So now I call.

Get one if you really want one. However beware of the resposibilities that comes with it. Don't say I didn't worn you.

fallen fairy

I have a cell phone... but not a lot of people need them... cell phones are useless... just ask your parents for another phone line for you... it should be cheaper than a cell phone... and it's better to use your friends because at the end of the month it's your friend or their parents that has to pay for the cell phone bill not you or your parents ...

I have a cheap cellphone... only makes calls (and some games I guess)
that's all I need
ask your parents for one of those :P

I don't have a cell phone, and I am significantly older than 14.

I can barely pay tuition--how could I afford a cell phone?

i dont have ione either and im 13.

same with me

Well I'm 15, and I need one ;D. Not to talk on the phone with people (but that's a plusplusplussss), but to contact my mom if anything happens or if I need a ride or I need to tell her something (like I'm on board on a plane or whatever). It's really convenient if you think about it.

I still say I need it >O.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. that is like me three days ago. but i JUST got one.

i dont have a cellphone and im 13.
our school doesnt allow electronics.
but everytime im at lunch.. everyone just flips out their cellphones.

I got my phone when I was 13. I didn't even ask for it. My grandma jus got it for me because she always gets me stuff every now and then. I have had three phones and I am currently 15 about to turn 16. And i want another one for my birthday that's right after christmas.

i have one, but its only beacause my mom is paranoid about me walking home from school and taking any other type of transportation except for her own car. mmhmm... thats super-paranoia.

yes, a lot of 8th graders i know don't have cell
phones. i'm in 10th grade, and some of my friends
don't have one. so it's not weird for you to not
have one i guess. i got mine when i was 13.

i dont have a cell either. What sucks about that is not the fact that i dont have a cell it that everyone around me has one. This 6th grader i know has one and my sister is getting one for her b-day later in the year. But i dont really mind. My parents cant keep tabs on me like where i go or who i hang out with not that its a problem. I tell them and if they dont trust me well thats there problem. Planning to get one anyways next year after i turn 16 and get a job. Cant depend on my parents forever.

Yes you're the only one who doesn't have a cellphone, along with a bunch of others.

how do you know you're average?

no, i don't have one.
testing out fonts, because i'm too lazy to open word. sorry.

You can ask your mom for like a tracfone(<<----that's how it's really spelled) thing. I have one and I'm eleven. And if i gets stolen you won't have to pay cuz it's a prepaid card thingamajig. ++think about...........do you really need one? Or is it peer pressure. Think is it like (---->>sorry for typeing weird over there): Lyke omg! Lyke mooooom. All mi friends have them. And I mean I need 2 tlk 2 the cuz if I don't I'll die. What? No lyke omg! Y would I tlk to you? Uggggggggghhhh lyke you don't even care about me<<------Sorry 4 typing that way just that's how it sounds sometimes.:\

No, haha. I'm 14 and I don't have one either. My parents said i could if I paid my own bill though...but there's this thing i lack called money. and allowance.

I am 15 and I don't have one! (>__<) Most of my friends have them. So, they call each other all day and forget about me at home! XD

Oh yeah...Besides about the fact that I don't talk to people....I just sit and listen!

It's okay not to have a cell phone. And it's good that you feel that you don't need one. It took me a year of begging to finally get one... and now when I leave the house without...I feel naked o.O .

i have a wrecked phone, the battery is screwed, the keys are broken, and its fat and ugly, and has a horrible screen. i wish i had another one.

I've been through like, 4. Haha.

Eh, I doubt it.

I feel the same way, my dad got me mine when I was 11 because he was afraid of me going off other places without him...

No sweetie! You are not the only one without one. I am 17 and i still don't have one. Look on the bright side though, you can be places and your parents, and other people that you would rather not know where you are, can't call every second and ruin your fun. It'll be ok! I'm pretty sure that everyone will have one some day!

I don't have a cell either. My mom says I can get one, when I have a job to pay for it. I hate it.

I JUST got a cell phone because I needed one...I'm such a busy person that I need a way to contact my parents when after school activities are over.

And I'm 15.

So don't worry about it. As long as there are friends letting you use theirs when you absolutely NEED it, which you said that you don't really need one, you're good.

Mine was taken away from me, I dont need one right now so it's ok i guess. sighs

I don't have one.
I know I NEED one, and my 'rents know that too.
So I've been bugging them for AGES.
& I think I'm getting one this Sunday.
Cross your fingers.

a lot of people i know that live in my area has a cell phone. i had one since 4th grade? a lot of young kids have them now a days.
