I need some serious advice?

Question

I am 14 years old and my parents think i shouldn't have a cell phone.They say i'm not responsible enough. What can i do to change there minds?

Answer 1

Well, show them that you are responsible. Tell them why you want it, what advantages it gives you, and all that good stuff. Explain to them that you can be responsible enough for it like you need to and like they want you to be.

Answer 2

Talk about it seriously non-stop. Never be home on time anymore and say for your exuse " you should have called me" and then theylle say "I didnt know where you were" or " i didnt know the number' and thats where you keep reminding them "if i had a cell phone this woudlnt happen" this strategy almost always works, but it takes time. it took me about 6 months to annoy my parents enough. They just realized taht it would help them in the long run plus youde shut up. lol

Answer 3

tell them that your 14 not 10 and this is your way of being responsible and to give you a chance (but you have to really be responsible or it can really cast you)

Answer 4

i am 13 and i have a cell phone i got it when i was 9

Answer 5

Simple, ask them what you need to do to show them you are responsible, then do it.

As for the "buying it yourself" suggestion, if you can do that and pay the bill, who cares what they think.

Answer 6

Ask them.. "how are you supposed to get ahold of me if there is an emergency??!!!"

Answer 7

Answer 8
