Sorry if it`s long I`ll rate 5`s!
I love my mom and all but she really bothers me. I am 13 and I`m kind of mature for my age. My mom said I could get my belly button peirced a yeah ago and she said yeah after I turned 13 and now shes saying no. I turned 13 April 25th and its so unfair I`m getting to really hate her so now she asked " What do you want for Christmas?" and I said. " A new cell phone and a my belly button peirced" and she goes "Your not getting neither your phone is fine."
My phone is a peice of sh1t and falls apart like 5 times a day. And I really want my belly button peirced and she said yeah last year so it`s completely unfair. My little brother gets everything he wants its unfair to me.
How can I convince her to let me get my belly button peirced? And how can I explain that she is unfair to me?
Thanks in advance. I`ll rate 5`s!! (link)

here's the thing, your parents lie to you sometimes. that whole santa claus/ easter bunny thing, you might want to look into that. really, one day you might find out that your mom might actually be a ordanary person who doesn't have all the answers and sometimes they have to make stuff up just so they don't have a stroke trying to come up with the right thing to say...
some things you might want to consider:
-have you ever asked how old your mom was when she got her first cell phone? i bet it wasn't 12. people got along without them once. so can you!
-maybe your brother gets more things because your brother needs more help. not always needing things and being able to take care of yourself is a good example of maturity. way to go!
in life, there is always going to be someone who has it better than you basing your happiness on someone else's life will seldom make you happier.
-you're going to have your belly button your whole life. where's the fire? you're 13, in the next three to five years, you are probably going to go through things that will make you wish your problems were this simple. besides, unless you're super into gymnastics or a midget (and there's nothing wrong with that) you're probably going to grow up or out a bit in the next couple of years and that ring you put on might cause more problems. whatever you do, try not to get all crazy and peirce it yourself. peircings gone wrong always look kinda pathetic and can be hard to live down.
but if you really need that phone and that belly button ring, your final answer lies in your first sentence. get good grades and don't get into trouble so your mom can't hold that against you, then go get a job and save up some to your own money and see if she'll spit it with you. no? then save up more money and buy that stuff yourself and feel good about it. your mom might actually be impressed. so will i.
good luck

Good advice but I got my cell phone for my 13th birthday so I wasn`t 12. I`m not a midget I`m just very small. I have a job but I only get $13-25 dollars a week I work at HER work and I clean tables on saturdays. I have really good grades.
