Question

my parents are so stubborn. they want a strong convincing reason on WHY TO GET IT?

SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

i m 13
i am going in an advanced learning program.
i can't get a job with all the homework.
and my school is an hour away with taking the transit

Answer 1

there are lots of reasons....
1. incase u need to get ahold of them
2. incase they need to get ahold of you
3. so they know where u are at all times
... ... i could go on.....
but most importantly............
INCASE OF AN EMERGENCIE!!!!!!
with the way this world is now, u never know when u will need to call 911.... what if u were kidnapped, or lost... or got into a car accident , or any kind of emergencie.... it is better to have one then to not.

Answer 2

I'm sorry, but I am on your parents side, with this one and more than likely, not for the same reason.
It is a proven fact that anyone under the age of 18 should NOT use a cell phone for ANY reason. There is an electro magnetic feild that the cell phone puts out that will damage the brain. It also said that adults should NOT use them very much. The magnetic feild effects the brain by destroying the brain cells throughout the brain. I would rather keep you safe than see you with a destroyed brain........think about it.

Answer 3

You are too young to get a regular job but you could baby sit or pet sit. You can also do odd jobs or mow yards. When you can pay part of the monthly bill, tell your folks you would like a cell phone to call 911 while taking public transit, if you need to.

Your parents aren't being stubborn, you are talking about something that costs about 1200 a year for a 13yr old. If you weren't taking public transit, I would say you don't need one.

Answer 4

Yea i have the same problem, but i go to school near my home so that couldn't be an excuse. but 4 u , i mean, abviously you cant really walk home if you dont get a ride, and since you dont live in the area, what if you get lost somehow?? My mother wont let me get one, since she thinks i will go bypolar and ruin my brain or something, but i know what it feels like being 13yrs with out one. you feel totally left out since everyone is always texting and asking 4 your cell phone #. Buy my 18 yr old Brother doesn't even have one yet!!! what if he got in a car accident!!! would he lay there till someone found him! how horrible would that be!

Answer 5

well, when I want a cell I just promise that I would be on A & B honor roll. Just tell your parents why you need it important facts, make a deal out of it.

I told my FFL to do the same and now whe have the same cell's but diffrent color...lol

Answer 6

17 is this way of previous due age to get a cellular telephone. I have been given my first cellular in 5th grade lol. properly, I advised my mom that i may well be to blame and that i might choose it to call her to enable her know i may well be at a pals abode or that i might like a greater effective thank you to talk with my pals. I recommend you pay for it too.

Answer 7

How about this?

"Mom, Dad, we all know how much I want and need a cell phone. How about if I earn money to pay for it myself? Then can I get one? Not only will you not have to pay anything, but it's another opportunity for me to show you how mature and responsible I am."

Answer 8

depends on how old you are, you shouldnt get one till you're like 14, 10-12 year olds dont need a cell phone they just want to look cool

Answer 9

What is your parent's reason for not having a cell phone for you? Maybe their reasons are worth looking at.

Answer 10

give them a really good reason to buy u one. do really good in school. im 13 years old and i got my 1st cell on my b day. let them know that they can trust u!
