How do i convince my parents to buy me a phone?

Question

they have no reasons why they are saying no but they say it anyway

Answer 1

disappear one day after school. and then return home at night. they'll get worried sick, you can tell them you were feeling dizzy and had to stop somewhere but had no way of calling them. they'll get you a phone soon after that. or you'll have to do it a few times to get it. but don't show any eagerness to get a phone again. ;)

Answer 2

I need a phone really too! I disappear all the time. Breaking curfew and EVERYTHING. I want them to get me a phone. I'm getting one for Christmas after I get a babysitting job. I have to pay half the bill.

*as if there will be one*  

Answer 3

You have to give reasons why you need it other than social. To arrange pick-up from school events, so they can reach you if concerned, etc.

Their (and my, for my son) concern is using phone at school when should be paying attention, replacing actual conversation with txt and major cost.  

Answer 4

How old are you? Do you go out alone yet?

Tell them that you need a phone to go out and call them incase anything happens to you.  

Answer 5

Well maybe you could ask for a prepaid phone and you could tell them then you couldn't run up the bill or anything. And they maybe oldfashioned and don't really understand why you would want or need one. Which I am sure there was something they wanted real bad when they was younger and their parents didn't get it for them. So you could ask them if they wanted anything and didn't get it, when they say yes, say then you should know how it feels!!
