What mobile phone should I get for Christmas?

My parents wont let me get a phone for christmas, help?

  • Alright . Last christmas my parents spent 300 dollars on me . Now im 13, and they only spend $200 they said. Its like 6 days before christmas, and they havent done there shopping (they do it late every year so my siblings wont try and find the presents.) Well , i havent had a phone in 6 months . My older sister used it , and lost it. I want an HTC Radar 4g phone. It costs 250 , with my upgrade. It has everything I want in a phone, i want it so badly ! But my parents said they wouldn't even spend 150$ on a phone for me?! Im not trying to act spoiled, or ungrateful, but, I think I deserve it . My birthdays in febuary , and they usually spend 100$ on me. I told them If they got me this phone I wouldnt ask for anything for christmas and they still said no! They said they'd get me one, just not that expensive. I want it badly.. Please no snoody parents saying "they house you blah blah blah" . Go away if your gunna do that , please ! I get a's & b's , im in 2 sports & i work my butt off at home !

  • Answer:

    Maybe they already have and are just trying to surprise you. Or they may feel you're not responsible enough as you gave your phone away to your sister who lost it so they may not want to spend money on another phone since they may think it could happen again.

I can see your parent point here, it is a lot of money to spend on a phone. Honestly I would not spend that much money on a phone for a 13 year old either. Not sure what to suggest, I do not think they are being unreasonable here. Maybe try working for money at home or something to get money to buy it for yourself? Its about the only suggestion I have, other than just accepting what they choose to buy you, its their money after all.

Usually I try the route of "I understand, your the parent and you know best." then I show very good behavior afterwards, after that they usually feel they should reward that. Begging just makes parents think you are still childish. This approach has more of a frizby effect. You give them what they never expected and they want to give in return.
