Answer #1

Why not have the friend there to help explain what happened

Answer #2

10 iphones in a 2 year span?!? If you were my daughter, I’d buy you a flip phone. You clearly don’t care and don’t seem capable to hold an iphone.

Answer #3

10 iphones in 2 years really is a lot, especially since they cost a lot of money, personally you do seem a bit incapable of being able to take care of an expensive smart phone so i would suggest getting a cheaper phone next time, not an iphone. otherwise get a good quality rubber cover that protects your iphone or always keep it in a pocket or purse that is designed to hold them and protect them. there’s not really much you can say to your dad other than “sorry i broke another one, i know…i do it all the time but next time will be different” he probably won’t buy that. so either get a cheaper phone or keep your expensive iphone well protected. keep it in a safe place too, like a pocket you don’t sit on or in your bag, if you carry it all the time you’ll be likely to drop it.
