I dont understand my parents
I love my parents to death but there are times where i really dont get them. like my cellphone has been broken for months and i can't get a new one. instead i got a hideous hand-me-down. im just tired of them both being so money savvy! like for once can't they just splurge and go wild? its always so structured and they never just break out and go "lets get some ice cream!". they're not spontaneous at all, and i am a very spontaneous person and it drives me crazy when we fall into a simple, boring schedule.
i have a really hard time with questions too, and they ask WAY too many questions all the time. it drives me crazy, and ive tried to ask them to be more layed back and ask LESS questions but it never works. it feels like they dont trust me at all and like i dont deserve to have fun. im having a really hard time with them, and because i love them so much, i dont want our relationship to crumble. please help me figure out how to make this better
im 14 female

Why dont you be realistic for a minute and consider that your parents may not have the money for 'splurging'?? I think you're being selfish. Think yourself lucky you have a cellphone at all.
It is stressful finding the money to pay the rent or mortgage and to pay bills, put food in the cupbords and buy shoes and clothes and all that for kids...
Be patient and deal with the phone you have and maybe when you stop being so needy they might get you what you want.

dude. Chill.
your parents are your parents, they're never going to be perfect, they're never going to understand. To them YOU'RE the one who's causing the problem...you're the one who's not going along with everything they've given to you and that could be seen as selfish behaviour to them.
To be honest, every single kid is going through the same thing as you are. They're just being protective when they ask you questions, would you rather that they just didn't care because I assure you that's a really crappy way of life - to have parents who don't care...
I get hand-me-downs too, it sucks I know but I also know that my parents are trying their hardest so why don't you get a paper round or walk some dogs and earn the money to buy yourself the mobile you want, and in the meantime thank your parents for giving you something that they could have easily sold and gotten more money to help wiht bills etc.
you'll soon be old enough to live your own life, for now just try to please them and in return they WILL try to give you what you want - which is what they're trying to do now only it's hard for them too...you gotta understand that - they're only human.

to go and say why didnt they buy me a new one is kind of selfish. what if your parents dont have the money to buy you a new cellphone. now given everybody needs some spontaneousness in there life. but you have to be able to afford the lifestyle before you can live it.
