Why is my dad being like this?

Why did you have the lighter in the first place?

It’s a stupid cell phone, get over it. I hate that this world is so obsessed with technology that they have to beg and cry for cell phones and computers. What do you think people did before phones huh?

My advice: go outside, get some well deserved exercise and maybe youll remember what its like to be a kid. Also, the smoking thing is really lame. You cant enjoy life with a cigarette imparing your vision.

my mam already tried to get it back off him but he just wont give it back! and what is taking my phone goning to do to stop me smoking?

he wants to help but clearly isn’t thinking straight, if you really need a phone that bad can’t you get a shitty cheap one from tesco or asda or some shit like that? You couldplay dirty and try to persuade your mum to join you and tag team him (verbally)

You may not like this but you asked for advice.

Get over it.

I’m sorry, but it’s apparent your dad doesn’t like the idea of you smoking. I hate saying this but his house his rules. If he doesn’t want you smoking then obey it.

Plus if he pays the bill for it, then its his phone. If you pay the bill then it’s your phone and he can’t take it.

Look, if you want it back that badly. You’re gonna need to break your pride because he’s not. Apologize for one (even if you think you’ve done nothing wrong, it’ll at least soften his anger), then ask to see how you can get it back… then do it.

Honestly its punishment, find a way to make it up to him.

If you don’t wanna do it… then I guess you don’t want your phone back that bad.

lol. Ah teenagers. Well apparently it is making you unhappy. That’s how punishment works. You stop doing the unwanted behavior and he stops punishing you. As for, it’s your health. Well, sorry. He’s your dad. I mean lord knows why he cares about you, it’s completely illogical and irrational and he needs to cut it out, but for some reason he does. So deal with it. You’ve got a parent that cares enough about you to take away your phone (lord knows how you will survive without it!).

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say this might be a slightly one sided depiction of the events. I’d guess you’re smoking, against his will, as such he is punishing you. Further more it is possible he feels your friends are to blame, as such he is attempting to put some distance between you and them. If you want your phone back, I’d advice you obay his rules, and maybe even try using a little word starting with ‘s’.
