My parents always think they have me figured out so they always try to do what they think I would want them to. My dad never cares about my problems with friends or whatever and my Mom never cares that I'm sad or in a bad mood. So I always argue with them. And a good part of the time they cause the arguement. My mom will ignore something i told her 5 minutes ago. She never cares about what my other friends think, and when all three of my closest friends got cell phones, she kept telling me that I couldn't get one because "my attitude" wasn't improving. She never cares. I could come home in a sad mood and she would barely care. Today I told her I was made fun of because I didn't have a cell phone, and she was like "well if you want one so bad, show me." She just dismisses any of my concerns. I've felt suicidal before things have gotten so bad. I confine in my friend more then my parents a good portion of the time.

That's your version. Usually it'd be better to answer if the other conflicting party would have said something agreeing or not with what you say and why?
It would pretty much seem to me you are not in real world as you make them challenge you and you appear always empty handed.
Why?
Things are to be difficult to get otherwise they'll spoil you.
Now show them you deserve some credibility based on your accomplishments as in response to their challenge.
Believe they were your age in the past so they know what they are doing to pave your way to a better future.
That's why you are called daughter and they are called parents.

I hope this doesn't sound mean, but I'm only saying this because it's kind of the same way with me. My parents don't pay attention to a lot of my "concerns" anymore because I complain too much...it's also hard for me to convince them when I'm actually sick because I used to fake it so much. Probably your parents "don't care" because you go overboard and make the smallest problems seem like huge issues...I guess you could say it's being a drama queen, which is my problem too, LOL. For example, being made fun of because you don't have a cell phone isn't really a big deal, right? So really, you have to catch yourself when you do it - stop making yourself the victim. If you want your parents to listen to you, try to be more mature about stuff...before you get all upset, try to see their side, don't just automatically assume they're wrong and you're right. It's easier said than done, but just work on it and everyone will be much happier ^__^ Once you show that you're mature, your mom will probably let you have a cell phone. Hope this helped :)

I hate to tell you this, but every teenager thinks their parents do not care.
You don't have a cell phone. BIG DEAL!!!! If you want one so bad ..... GO OUT AND GET A JOB!
Honestly, you are crying and saying that you are suicidal and there are kids out there who have real problems. If you truly have these feelings then go to a counsellor at school or a doctor. It is time that you began to take on a little responsibility for your life.
If you think your parents don't listen to you or pay attention to you then try turning things around and listen to them and pay attention when they are trying to talk with you. don't always go running to them with wants. Adults have feelings too.

first of all, think about it , killing yourself over a cell phone??
suicide is the cowards way out, its just a way of not dealing with your life, years from now your going to think back on this and wonder where your head was. Always deal with your problems head on. If you think your parents dont get you , try being honest with them, chances are when they ask you whats wrong you probably say 'nothing'. you dont say your age, and that has alot to do with when you get a cell phone. good luck

First let me say that your mom is the person who loves you most in the whole world. No one will ever love you more than your mama.
My son's therapist likes to say this: Parents are so stupid. Aren't they stupid? All you have to do is do what they ask and they'll give you anything you want.
You're in charge, buddy.

well a cell phone costs money and i suspect they dnt' have alot of that and if its true i mean hey it could get costly depedning on how you were taking care of it. if you didn't care and ran the billup but you could get one yourself. get a small little job and buy a small phone like at target and then get phone cards and that way you'd have one they are n't too expensive and be responsbiel wit h it. goo dluck

An argument or disagreement is never one sided, it always takes two. Meaning, that you're not always right and them wrong; as we said when I was your age "it takes two to Tango" (Tango is a Latin dance, if you didn't know).
Try sitting down with them and listening, objectivly, to their problems.

Start with yourself. Do your part and do it well. Be the best child that you could be and they will be the best parents you always have.
