How can i convince my parents to buy me a new phone?
Right now i have an iPhone 6 and it is getting really old and i hate it. I want to pre-order the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 but they won't let me. They have the money, they are just being stupid and cheap. I really want a new phone. I have had the iPhone 6 since 2014 when it first came out. How can i convince them to let me buy it? I hate them for this, they never buy me anything.
Boohoo. Buy it yourself. No money? Get a job.
"stupid & cheap"? How about if you pay ALL the household bills for one month! Dang crybaby
What a spoiled, whiny baby you are. I hope they see this and take away ALL your electronics for the next 6 months. THEN maybe you will appreciate what you had.
Ask them why try to convince them?
There's a difference between wants and needs. You have food, clothes, and a roof over your head, so your parents have your needs covered. A new i-Phone is a want, not a need. Your parents aren't being "stupid and cheap". They're trying to teach you the difference between wants and needs. If you want it that badly, get a job and buy it yourself. Once you're out on your own for a while, you'll see exactly where they're coming from.
Get a job and pay for it ad stop whining like a toddler. Since you don't need a phone your parents need to take it away
Why would you want stupid people to buy you a phone?
If you're so much smarter, move out while you still know everything. Buy your own phone, car, pay rent, buy your own clothes, health insurance, food, pay for doctor visits (and more!). You'll see how easy it is not.
Maybe you can offer to do extra chores for it if they'll let you buy it
You sound VERY ungrateful for the life that you have. An iPhone 6 is what, nearly one thousand dollars? Money doesn't grow on trees. Your parents sound very smart; they have priorities and NEEDS to keep a roof over your head, clothes on your body, and food in your mouth. You don't NEED a phone upgrade, you WANT one. I would suggest you getting a job to buy whatever you want, albeit by the very bratty tone of your ask, I'm going to assume that you aren't old enough to get one. Instead of only lecturing you for your ungratefulness, I will give you a few suggestions: ask your parents if you can do chores for allowance (if they decline, don't throw a hissy fit), ask neighbors if you can do yardwork or dog-walking, babysit your family or neighbor's children, etc. Save money to buy your own phone.
Be thankful for the parents that you do have. Hating your parents for not buying you a new phone is absolutely ridiculous. Your parents won't be around forever to buy you things! Talk about FWP.

what if I do not have money and I need my parents to back me up so what am I suppose to just sit with no phone
- What should I do should I get a new phone or not be embarrassed? And how do I convince my parents to get me a new phone? I have an iPhone 4 and it is 2017. The iPhone 7 already came out and I jane a 4. I feel really embarrassed when I take out my phone that I don't take it out because my friends have the iPhone 6 and 7.
- My parents won't buy me a new phone? I still have an iPhone 4s, it's like 7 years old, it can't even get new updates, it's small, and it's painfully laggy. Mine is stuck on iOS 8, I can't even update it. My parents say "that phone is fine", it's not fine. It barely works. They not let me get a new iPhone, I want at least an iPhone 6 and they won't even get me that. What should I do? I'm going crazy.
- If I buy a new phone and restore my phone will a virus transfer to the new phone? I believe my iPhone has a virus but I'm not sure. I'm due for a new phone anyways but I need to know that if I do have a virus on my current phone, will it transfer with my information and data to my new phone?
- How to convince my parents to get me a iPhone X? A few years ago was my bar mitzvah and I made a few thousand dollars. Some of my friends have the IPhone X and it is so cool I asked my parents if I can use my money to buy myself one and they said absolauntly not and I really want one
