Question

My dad wont let me get a cell phone and im ?
How do i convince him? hes the kind of person who thinks anyone who doesnt think like him is dumb and that phones are for rich spoiled kids with dumb parents.Ive wanted a phone since fourth grade and now im in highschool. I dont know how to convince him.Any help anyone? And before you try to tell me why i dont need one,nobody needs one but that doesnt mean i cant want one. And if you think i want one just because everyone else has one,well of course i do,if nobody else had one there would be no point.But everyone in my school has one except me so yea i want one.

Answer

I really think you should sit down and talk with him. Explain to him how much easier it would be to contact him when you are out or if you were in trouble. Ask him why you arent alwoud one. Even if it was a cheap cell phone at first. Dont get angry if he doesnt agree with you. Just say Listen, dad. I tried sitting you down like an adult and talking about it and ok, I respect that but think how I feel about it He will eventually notice that you are old enough to have a cell if you commuinicate like an adult.brbrHope this helped!
