Cell Phone for my 14th birthday???

Question

My birthday is in 2 months and i wanted a cell phone for my 13th but my parents said no. My brother got his in 8th grade but they keep saying he got his in freshman year of high school. I am the only only only kid in my class without a cell phone. I am a boy. I get great grades and am pretty smart. I get all A's by the way. So i dont understand why they wont let me have a cell phone. And money isnt a promblem in my family. So they can defintely afford it . What do u think???

Answer 1

im 14 had mine since 6 grade for x-mas maybe you should try harder i annyoed the **** out of my dad and it was under the tree so yes im am spoield

Answer 2

i think u should. cause u are old enough and it seems like u are doing a good job in school in stuff. u should tell you parents that u are doing great in school and u will continue to do that even when u have a phone. and maybe if ur grades go down.. they can take your phone away for like 2 weeks or whatever they decide. u should try negotiating with them and coming up with something that would get ur ur phone. like doing a good job, helping out ur parents, or something that ur family does. but dont tell them that EVERYONE has phones too much. just bring it up a couple times. and dont forget to tell them that ur doing GREAT in school and ull keep ur grades up!!!

Answer 3

hahah WOW i got my cell phone when i was in 4th grade...... hehe and now im in 7th so... your not spoiled and im not. but anyways you sound like my friend, but back to the q i think your parents are just making sure your responsible i mean usually thats all the parents say. i was the first kid to have a cell phone haha

Why can't you just wait ?  i don't get it , ur acutally sounding a little spoiled and self -centered if u ask me no offence . Let me tell you am older then you and i don't even have cellphone , but am not stressing about, i can wait . Just because everyone in ur class has one doesnt me you have to have one too ok , i dont know am guessing you feel out of place like an outsider just cause you dont have one. Maybe you should just be good and dont bring it up with your parents for awhile , do nice things for them , keep up with your chores and perhaps in time they will change their minds and say well hey you've been good , you deserve it and then who knows u get ur cellphone ! U musen't force it on them , in the meantime how about you just browse for cellphones you may have in mind when the time comes?

Answer 5

Stop being so d**n spoiled.  Be thankful with what you have.  There are kids in this country that are thankful just to get a new bike.

I didn't get a cell phone until I was in college.

There is no reason why a middle schooler needs a cell phone.  Use a lanline phone to call your friends.
