How can I convince my mom to get me a cellphone
Okay, Well before you answer my question I want you guys to know My mom had bought me four new phones in one month and she had to pay for 50$ each because three of them didn't charge like a week my mom paid for the replacement, And The last one broke because my friend accidently broke in water at a skating rink, That was a month ago and now i am ready to be responsible for a cellphone again..But everytime i mention a new phone for me she just laughs or says "Not gonna hapen"! I really want to have another phone to keep in contact with my friends cause im moving soon..HWAT DO i DO? i AM 13

Your mother does have a point, but you should try to get a new way of contacting your friends (facebook, e-mail, home phone, even letters) but if you just need a phone, then tell your mom why you want a phone exactly NO ATTITUDE NEEDED

Your mom is my hero!
Anything you want you gotta earn it in this life and that includes trust. That $50 is hard won by your parents and I can't help but to think how they resent it when you treat their money with so little regard for what it took for them to acquire it.
So I raise a glass to your mom because she is being a parent and not your friend, which is what she is supposed to be.
In the meantime, wait until you're 16 and can get a job and obtain your own phone yourself. Then maybe you will be a little more appreciative of what your hard working parents have given you.

Because you had so many phones in one month,. There is a doubt that you will get another one anytime soon,. i would try earning the phone. Doing extra Chores for money or even helping out the neighbours. You need to prove to them that you are responsible enought to take care of a phone more than for one week. let alone four phones in one months.
I think if you prove to them that you are more responsible they may be interested to compromise.
Hope this helps:)
