How to convince my mom for a cell?
Well I am in th grade and think I need a cell phone. I have a Go Phone and think it sucks. I just want a phone for Christmas. I want the LG Rumor. How can I convince my mom for a cell phone.

Answer

Although everyone in your circle of friends may have one, I doubt that every fifth grader does. Your Gophone will allow you to call your Mom in an emergency and call all your friends as well. What you should do is shoot for getting an upgrade when you go to middle school. In order to do this, you need to show your mother that you are responsible and can be trusted. That doesnt mean just doing it for a week or once in a while. It means doing it consistently enough that she can see that you are trustworthy and able to handle more privileges. You can let her know ahead of time that you are doing this, and if you do it well, Ill bet by the time middle school comes, youll get a better phone.
