Question

I went over my text messages. And my parents are going to take it away. Any good excuses? HELP!. asap. -brig?

Answer 1

u need it in case of emergency

Answer 2

Say its for security and when you go out if you get into trouble or danger you will need it.

Answer 3

Own it.    Tell them something along the line below:

Mom, dad,  I know I screwed up.  You are right, I need to keep the text messaging under control.  Is there something I can do as an alternative punishment for going over on the text messages? Can I be a slave for a week, two hours a day, wash walls, whatever?  I will pay for the overage.

If they are going to take the phone away, and not just block the text messaging, you can throw in the security issue with  having a phone for safety reasons.

Answer 4

nah..you were given the phone as a privilege and you took advantage of it...

next time just stick with the plan that comes with the phone..

theres no excuse for not obeying the rules of the phone...

offer to help pay for the overages either by working at home or for neighbors..

Answer 5

"It wasn't me" .... Just kidding!

Take responsibility, admit you were wrong and ask if there is something you could to to earn unlimited text messaging. It's 15 or 20 dollars extra a month but if you tell them you'll do something like wash their car every week or whatever you come up with, maybe they'll consider it. So there'll be no way you can go over. Also explain to them that texting is really good for times when you are in areas with bad recpetion. It's way easier to send a text rather than make a phone call.

Good luck! =)
