There is no question of mistrust. It is simply the case of deep and intensive love for you that makes your parents over protective.Being the only girl among the 5 kids, you enjoy a very special status in your parents minds.The world is undergoing such a bad phase that all sort of unimaginable criminal activities are taking place now.Your parents must be reading/listening them frequently and whatever they are doing, .they are for your benefit only.

You are 12. But a age does not mean anything. Your life style, your choices, and they way you treat people are the things that matter. Your brother got his phone at 12, but they didn't buy it for him because of his age. They bought it for him because they thought he was responsible enough to have one. If you really want your parents trust, then you have to show you are capible of making good decisions. Do you help around the house without being asked or without complaining? do you treat your parents and siblings with respect? do you do good in school? If you answered no to any of these, then this is what you need to work on. If you answered yes to everyone, then I suggest making a list of why you think you deserve their trust. then, show it to them. have a sit down conversation to them on how you feel you have done everything they have tought you to be and ask them, not demand, why they don't trust you. Ask why they feel you shouldn't have a phone. then listen to them. don't interupt, dont complain. act mature. I know it is hard to do when you feel like they may be wrong. But if you listen and try to see it from their point of view, you will show your maturity. And who knows, maybe they do think you are mature, but maybe there are money problems that they don't want you to know about. maybe there is another reason why you don't have a cell phone.but remember, age has nothing to do with it. 12 is really just a number.

Your only 12, you don't need a cell phone. Perhaps you should show them that you can be trusted and maybe your brother got a phone because they saw that he was responsible, and maybe your not.
