 hi, i'm pathetic  Group: Member Posts: 71 Joined: Feb 2006 Member No: 382,232  |
I am trying to get my parents to let me have a cell phone, but they say I can't have one until I am 16 (I am almost 15) and can drive. I get really mad because when ever I approach them about it in a nice, professional way they are just like "you don't need one" and the argument is over. I am always using my friend's phone to call people because I DON'T HAVE ONE. And I tried explaining to my parents that my friends were getting mad at me because I was using their minutes and they just told me to give them a dollar for every call. So anyway here is my question: Do you guys have any ideas for ways I can convince my parents to let me get a cell phone, or reasons that I need one?

Well first of all, why do you <b>need</b> a cellphone? You could always just go home and use your home phone.
But you could also try telling your parents that you live pretty far from your home, and if you ever get into trouble, you want to be ready. |
