I Want A Cell Phone!

I want a cell phone really, really bad! Only my parents say they won’t buy me one until I get in high school. They said if I want to get one right now while I’m still in middle school, I should save up my allowance and buy it myself.

DORK DISH: Do you have a cell phone while you are still in middle school? How did you convince your parents to get you one? How can I convince my parents that I need a cell phone RIGHT NOW!
