I'm 14, and my parents refuse to buy me a phone. I've talked to them about getting a phone quite a few times and I've even offered to pay for it fully but they still say no because they think phones are 'ruining children's minds', 'I will get distracted', etc. I'm currently a straight-A student, and I'm honestly an okay kid in my opinion. I've tried almost everything to convince my parents to get me a phone but they still say no and I'm out of ideas. I rarely hangout with friends because I don't have a phone and it's honestly really embarrassing to say, so I barely have a social life and I am sick of it. If anybody has any ideas on how to convince my parents to buy me a phone that would be great!!!(:
