How can i get my mother or father to get me a phone?

Question

I live in the bronx with my mrother and father i asked my father for a phone he said yes but my mother said no because she said the last phone she bought me i lost it.

Answer 1

be responsible . i wouldn't buy my daughter one too if she keeps losing things . they cost money you know ..........

Answer 2

I would advise you to get a job and offer to make the monthly payments with the understanding if you lose the phone again you will lose your phone until you are 18 and hopefully more responsible.

Answer 3

WELL FIRST U HAVE 2 SHOW THEM THAT U HAVE RESPONSIBILITY, since u lost ur first one

or mayb u can thro that back at ur mom saying that u were only _ years old at that time and that now u r more mature, and more responsible

Answer 4

just say to your father why dont you get me a phone and after i will get it saw your mother because after you get the phone your mom cant return the phone

Answer 5

get a job save the money and offer to buy the phone yourself if they will pay for the minutes that way you will be more carefull with it

Answer 6

Dont ask for it too many times , make your mom feel you really need it , act like you are really sad you didnt get it , like become a very sensitive poor cute thing so that she will feel you really need it and feel guilty she didnt get it for you , just stop asking for it and act that you are sad !

Answer 7

tell them a lot of reasons on why you should get one. im sure you can come up with some stuff to say. but, dont forget to tell your mom how responsible you will be if u get a new phone.

good luck!

Answer 8

Make sure she knows that you will use it well.
And prove that you're responsible. Get all your work done, do extra, don't lose anything else. Show her that you won't lose it again and that you made a mistake.

Answer 9

if you lost it then what do you expect her to say? What about saving some money and buying one for yourself? They really aren't that expensive anymore.

Answer 10

YOU HAVE TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE---TRY TAKING ON EXTRA CHORES AROUND THE HOUSE AND MAYBE YOU COULD FIND A WAY TO "EARN" THE PHONE OR PAY FOR IT YOURSELF OR A PORTION OF IT

Answer 11

Tell them that you will tie the phone round your neck like I did with my key when I was little..LOL....I was part of the latch key generation...It might do the trick or not?:P
