about

I love to give advice and help people. I never think any question is too stupid or small, even if it's been asked a million times. Honestly, it's better to ask than remain in the dark.

Some of my favorite quotes:

"People who ask our advice almost never take it. Yet we should never refuse to give it, upon request, for it often helps us to see our own way more clearly."
-Brendan Francis


"Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't."
-Erica Jong

advice

I recently asked my parents for a cell phone, but they aren't giving in. 15/m by the way...i get good grades like all almost all A's. My parents said that money isn't the important thing, so I need some advice in convincing them to get me a phone? what could I say or do?

Make a list of reasons you would need a cellphone. If you're out a lot, then you can tell them that it'd be easier for you to reach them in case of an emergency or something, and it'd be easier for them to reach you as well.

Also, you could try working for it. Tell them you'll do certain chores for a certain time frame if they'll get you the phone. Show them you'll be responsible about it and are mature. Don't fight or complain about it, talk rationally with them.

Good luck.
