I really want a new cell phone. I'm 13 and the phone is baout $60.00 a month. My phone now is a gophone. Anyway have any good ways to bribe your parents for a phone that exspensive??

Answer #1

at 13 you dont even need a phone and if so, you dont need one that costs $60 a month nowdays you can get a good phone secondhand for $60 thats all you need then get on a plan so you dont waste all your or your parents money if your not going to be calling and txting your friends every 10 minutes when you see each other at school, that will help your parents buy you one if your going to be responsible, use t for emergencies, to call your parents and tell them were you are when your out ect thats all you need to do with a phone at your age and if thats all your going to do your parents should happily pay for it if not, buy it yourself and spend your own money if you dont have money, its time to start doing chores or get a cheap paying job and earn it

Answer #2

Best thing to do is consider the fact that they might not be able to pay for it. Its just a phone; is it really worth it? If its for texting I wouldn'y let my kid have on either way. If they want to communicate they can talk.
Answer #3

Uh why not get a job and pay for it yourself. Try mowing lawns, scooping snow, or raking leaves. Hey look you have a year round job! They have to work for what they get and so should you.
Answer #4

Yes, be responsible and make your own money to pay for it totally yourself or go to one you can afford...excellent bribe !
Answer #5

you should promise for good grades and do some major puppy dog eyes and say all my friends have got one and then beg
Answer #6

Answer #7
