How can I convince my parents to buy me a phone?

Recently my phone broke and now I am phone-less. As soon as my phone broke, I found out that my brother got a new phone for Easter from my parents. I received some 2 nice gifts but they didn’t spend nearly as much money on me as they did on my brother. Why did they do this? I get good grades, I never ask for anything, I help around the house, and I am on my best behavior all of the time. My brother is the exact opposite and yet he still got a new phone. Now I have asked my parents for a phone that I found a really good deal on and they ignored me every time I mentioned it. There is only 1 day 12 hours left to buy the phone and I really want to convince them to buy it for me. So now I need advice on how to convince them to buy it for me even if it means me paying them back, or advice on how to get nearly $90 in a day and a half. Please help(:

Well I guess you dont have to have a phone and they are seeing it like that. Regarding to your brother Its cainda difficult.. Why didyour phone break? I mean meaby they just want to teach you that when things break things arent so good a d you cant get onother one.

You dont get a phone well thats to bad, you dont have to have one, you wont die with out it!

Answer #2

Make it seem like you might need it for an emergency…like what if you get stranded…or tell them you’ll do all the chores for like a month or so if you could plzz get the phone. and maybe promise like if I don’t do all the chores y’all can take it back from me
