I feel left out what to do?

Question

All of my friends have cell phones. I feel really left out because I don't have one. I know they aren't but it always seems like they're pulling out there cell phones in front of me just to show them off. What can I do to stop feeling so left out? Please don't say just ignore them because that never works. I feel left out because I miss out on inside jokes and stories. HELP!

Answer 1

i can help you with this...i was in the exact same situation...first of all, to get a call phone you need money...if you don't have a big allowance my suggestion is to go to your parents(whichever one is easier to get along with.lol).say "mummy/daddy have you ever considered getting me a cell phone?".let them respond first,if the answer is "yes" or "no" you then say "well mummy/daddy i think now is the perfect timing to get one...lately i have found i have been needing to call you for very urgent stuff,but i don't have a cell phone so i can't contact you immediately when i need you...i think i really need this cell phone mummy/daddy,please consider it...and aslo just one little thing i want to add,if your considering getting me one it makes no sense buying a cheap one because it will just mash up really quickly.one a little more costly will definitely last much longer,and i promise to take the best of care to it....well mummy/daddy,thanks alot for at least hearing me out"

Alternatively...

you can start a new trend...it doesn't have to be electronic media like a cell phone.my suggestion,it can be like a very cool necklace or wristband;something trendy,colourful and really hard to find,which will make it kinda rare to obtain.but remember,it must STAND OUT.before you know it,if you carry it in the right way,everyone will want one,and will ask to where they can find one,and so the center of attention will automatically shift...

well my friend,i spent alot of time typing this out for you.i hope that one of these suggestions helps you out,so next time i hear from you i will hear some really good news...and remember stay true to yourself.(*smile*)...you are a special person no matter what you have...take care of yourself...

Sorry you feel like this.  You didnt mention you age, but maybe if you want a cell  phone and are old enough for a part-time job, you could pay for one yourself?

My kids are older, and they didn't have cell phones when teenagers (not many people did at all).... but i talked to my son last night, and told him that even if all the other kids had cell phones when he was a teen, he would not have had one unless he paid for it himself.

Some families can't afford the extra bill, as well.

Well, its unfortunate that you dont have a phone. Your right, Im pretty sure that they dont whip it out in your face on purpose but everyone pulls out their cells all the time in front of people just to look at what they have.

You should try to get a pre-paid phone. They sell them in like, Walmart, Walgreen's, etc. they arnt that much and you can easily get a phone!

Save up! dont feel left out, sometimes you just need to get out there with a attitude that says "HEY! I got not cell but IM in the know" hahaha! :P

Sorry "P but yeah. Get a pre paid phone!!
