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

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

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. |

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. |

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.

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

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 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? |
