Answer 1

Ask parents to get you a prepaid phone. Show them that you can be responsible even on a pre paid one. Built your trust with them, that is very important. Ask for a phone because it's a need, not because your sister has one. Try this first step. Good luck....

Answer 2

Tell them that it would be good to have in case of an emergency and that it would be good to have when your out and about and they need to find out. Plus when you finally get around to driving it's a pretty much must have but people think it's a must have to drive and talk on a cell phone at the same time. Even though it's a mile away still you never could be to careful. Just make them be worried or something and convince them that it's a "safety measure" or something. =P

Answer 3

Tell them exactly what you just told us.  Tell them about the pervert thing and that you help around the house that you deserve a phone

Answer 4

well i think you should tell them about the walk home and all ther perverts and stuff and also mention how good of a daughter you are. also say that you pretty much need it for like emergencies and stuff cause maybe like you feel sick and you want to call your parents to tell them to pick you up or something. or maybe if your in a situation where you really neeed to talk to them and no one around you has a phone. also what if they need to talk to you right away but they have no means of contacting you? just kinda guilt trip them into it. but dont be bitchy about it. be really sweet.
