Hi, I'm a fifteen-year-old girl and I was wondering if I was being unreasonable and greedy. When I was thirteen, my mom got me the iPhone 3G that I asked for. It was my only birthday present, but it was perfect and I loved it so much. I had it for eleven days when my mom asked to borrow it. She came home later with the screen cracked. It was falling apart, (chunks were coming out) so she placed a messy strip of packaging tape over it. She told me that it was my fault and that she needed the phone and I was being greedy and selfish. She screamed at me so loud so that the neighbors thought I was irresponsible. I never got my phone back and she still has it to this day. It doesn't work now because she has thrown it down the stairs, dropped it in the toilet and everything else you can imagine, so she's getting herself a new phone. Would it be stupid to ask my mom for a new phone, even that model? I'd offer to help pay, but she won't let me pass our yard, or even answer the house phone. I can't make any money. She's overprotective, I'm not just saying that because I understand rules and restrictions when it comes to being a young teenager. Sorry for making you read all of this, it's a lot, I know. But I needed to ask this.
