How do I know if I need a new carberator?

How do I let my parents know I need a new phone?? PLEASE HELP!!?

  • I have used my current phone for about 3 years. It still works fine, but I really want a new phone?! I know my parents can't buy everything I ask for and I'm willing to earn money for the phone or do whatever it takes. But I don't know how to let my parents know how much I need the phone?? Because if I ask them for the phone, and even tell them what I just wrote, I'm afraid it'll still sound SELFISH to them??

  • Answer:

    Well, first of all, you went from "want" to "need". Make sure you keep it at "want" when you talk to them. Parents are really picky about this difference. Not trying to be picky at you, but my parents have always been less likely to do something if I said "need". It'll come off as wanting a luxury, but if you're willing to earn the money, or do "whatever it takes," then it doesn't sound selfish to me. It sounds like you're a hard worker who's willing to earn what she's got. And that is just the way to get the phone. :)

Ask them to in halves with you. Pick out a phone you like and ask them to match the money you earn. Its been 3 years. The battery life wont last much longer and the new battery will cost almost as much as a new phone.

Just tell them how you feel. Tell them you will volunteering to clean house and do some chores around the house for a few weeks so you can earn a new phone. Tell them its outdated and it would be really nice to have a new one. Dont tell them you got advice from here. Just act a little sad cause you really wont a new phone and your willing to work for it... Hope this helps

This new phone thing is motivated by peer pressure. Find a job that fits your schedule and convince your parents that working after school won't hurt your grades and will allow you to pay for the cost of the new phone as well as the incremental cost of texting. You'll also want to make it clear that you'll comply with your school's rules about phone usage during classes.

just ask them if they think that it would be okay if you start earning money to buy a new phone. or maybe just mention it around your birthday or something. but make sure you mention the part where youll buy it first.
