cell phones
ive been wanting a cell phone for so long. and dont think i havent tried getting one. ive had the money and saved it, i even offered to pay for one. i wrote a whole 1 page essay on why i wanted one, how i used it, and if i did something wrong they could take it away. im on computer like 24'7 so i told them it would occupy my time and i wouldnt be on as much. but NOTHING has worked.
is there anything else left to try!?

Ugh. The dreaded cell phone! I am 13 and have been begging my parents for a phone..and they haven't really said yes or no. But it was mostly aimed at no. So what i did - haha it's kind of funny - but I saw an ad in a magazine for some "enlightenment kit" online. SOOO i went online (the website address is www.enlightenmentkit.com) and downloaded the "Pressure Point Presentation". My mom loved it and promised to get me a phone if I got all A's the first marking period. And i did =) and I got my very own phone. I would suggest showing the show to your mom because it convinced her easily (unless your dad gives in really easily,lol) Good luck hon =)

Think about it this way:
for many cell plans, it requires a credit check because so many people who use cell phones don't pay their bills - thus, they have to do a credit check.
Cells can be a huge distraction. Text messenging, people handing out their number to anyone and everyone - and every incoming call counts against your minutes the same way that every call you make does. Texting usually costs $0.10 per message... that adds up really fast.
One thing to consider - if your parents are worried for whatever reason, talk to them about the Firefly. It is a phone that they would have control over and you could use. It rejects calls form people who are not a list they have to assign on the phone. Likewise, you can't call anyone not on the list. The minutes are tightly monitored so you can't go over and rack up a huge bill for them to have to pay. It can't text message, so again, no extra costs. Yeah, it might not be as "cool" but it is a phone, it works, and will get you want it seems to be that you think you need.

okay well a lot of kids tend to have this problem one thing you can do is instead of reminding them of it[which is just annoying]you can start acting VERY responsible around the house like cleaning up after yourself and doing all your chores and that might make them relize that hey she is really responsible and i think that now we can trust her with a phone and hopefully that will work but NEVER keep bothering them about it because that will just want them to keep on putting it off. -ashley

Well..put toyurslef in your parents shoes. Why do you think they WOULDNT want you to get one. If you think of a good reason try to explain to them y it would work out. Also think do you REALLY need one..or do you just want one. Your parents may not think you NEED one yet and thats y their hesitant. Just think about y they wouldnt want you to have one and go from that. Hope i helped!

I think you should make a deal with them. Like for example;; if you get all a's u get a cell phone or ask for it for your birthday && have that be your only present (thats basically what i did.) Come up with some other deals with your parents. Also, how old are you? Because you can say, "I need a cell phone because how will i be able to contact you when i need you?" I did that too. And it worked for me. I really dont know what else to tell you. Good Luck!
