I'm 13 and I don't have a phone?

So we're in 2018 FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, and guess what… I DON't HAVE A PHONE! No laptop, ipod, ipad or any electronics. What can i do to persuade my parents, Please, at school i feel POOR! I have to listen to my friends complain how they want a Iphone 11 to come out cos the ten is boring? I mean HELLO i would be okay with the the Iphone 4 as long as I have a phone! How to persuade a stubborn parent tell me and thanks… FYI: I'm NOT spoiled cos i don't even own a Xbox or play station or TV. If you think I'm lying then i get you, I would think I'm lying to. ESPECIALY IN 2018, but like yh thanks for reading and hope you can help.

I didn't have a phone either when I was 13, which was in 2003 when phones weren't really popular for kids to have and I survived. I didn't get my first phone till I was 19, lol.

Do good in school

Maybe your parents should buy you a dial telephone with a chord, then you'll have your own phone, it may not be the one you want, but at least you will have a phone.

I didn't get a phone until i was in college
and it was a flip phone
so quit your whinin

Be your own person just because you don't have what everyone else has doesn't make you better. That's the problem everybody is doing stuff because they see others doing it. How are your grades looking? Do you respect your parents try saving your own money selling lemonade custom jeans etc to make your own money

You should talk to your parents about that you need a phone in case something happens,
You get lost somebody is attacking you and other reasons. Youmight be able to get a phone this way.

Ask your stubborn parent to allow you to use their phone for few apps.

YOU NEED TO GROW UP. MY GRANDKIDS ARE 13 AND 15 THEY HAVE NONE OF THAT EITHER AND THEY DON'T WHINE ABOUT IT LIKE YOU

I didn't get an iPhone until 14. Tell them you need tech for school. It's called byot (bring your own technology).

You don't need an iPhone. All you need is a basic, cheap phone you can use in emergencies. That's what you should ask your parents to let you have.

If you ask for an expensive smartphone (even an old model), you'll be likely to get one.
