Answer #1

Everyday tell them you will feel safe with cell phone and if you can’t do it I’ll understand. Parents are more giving to their kids if they don’t bagged. you can use the CPU to text your classmate or friends on their phones. Don’t go behind your parents back they will be heartbroken.

Answer #2

just buy one without telling them…lol…just kidding. I would just hang in there, continue to be responsible and ask them again in a couple of weeks. I’m sure they’ll say yes!

Answer #3

Texting is like $10 a month. Sit down & talk w/ them & set rules, like if you get the phone, you’ll do more chores, & help with dinner, or whatever.
