Parent power is a bummer

I am 14 years old and my parents will not let me have a cell phone, I have tried everything, from offering to pay, to working for it and willing to prove I am responsible and they still say no I could really use some advice here, please help.

Well looks like that nothing is gonna make them crack. They proabably think yoiu're not old enough.

maybe if you use reverse psychology???...act like you dont want 1 anymore and maybe dey'll c you aint buggin bout it so dey'll get you 1 willingly...I know diz sounds like a dumb answer but hey it use to work on my parents when I was younger

Have you asked for a pre paid ???Verizon pre pay is good its $15 phone cards and they have a lot of plans you can choose from.

Maybe they can't afford one right now. Do good sh*t around the house for a while, don't bug them on it and after you have them nice and impressed maybe you can talk to them about a phone and get a yes.

Maybe they're having money problems, don't think you're old enough, or won't accept that you're getting older.

Or maybe they just don't want your life to be consumed by a cell phone.

I haven't brought up the topic of cell phones anymore and just let events where I would need the safety of a cell phone happen, and my dad wants me to always carry his, which I now don't want. :/
