How do I get my parents to let me have a cellphone?

I still dont have a cellphone!!! My parents said they’ll get me one when they think im mature enough, but they make it really hard for me to be mature!! Ex. Mom “madi, you missed the bus so you have to go to bed at 7:30 tonight.” Me “what?! That’s not fair!” Mom “that’s the rule.” Me “well it’s dumb!” Mom “ok, you just got yourself grounded.” Me “what?!”

See what I mean?

Answer #1

You need to respect them more and do what they tell you to do I know it sucks but if you want the phone you’re going to have to listen.

Answer #2

That is so not fair!I just can’t get on my laptop when I got home.Harsh. I would do my hmwk evry night so my grades would raise, clean the house more, be REALLY nice and loving to them. Then my mom figures it out in a week b/c I don’t do that unless I want something.Lol!But that is what I would do.Make rules for the phone,if they say they can’t buy it then ask them if you can get an allowence or a SLIGHT riase in it.Show them you are mature!Hope I helped!=D

Answer #3

Ok, from a parent’s perspective and just based on what you wrote - you’re not very mature.

Your parents don’t have to give you a cellphone - you’ll survive without one.
