CELL PHONES, am i the only one without one? Options

[Afghandragon45]

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
