Frusturated With Life?

I am unsure why they wont let you have an email address, maybe because they think some creep will start emailing you and you will agree to meet them somewhere. Then Wham! your kidnapped, killed or dare I say worse.

Your parents are probity scared you don't know about safe sex, let alone even having sex cross your mind at all, that scares the crap out of them.

Your parents have most likely seen all the bad things kids your age do with cellphones, sexting, bullying, going on websites that waste time. Also they may think the radiation and electromagnetic waves that cellphones give off will hurt you.

A the end of the day you need to start a rational discussion with them surrounding the topics that scare them into making those decisions for you. Then once you understand their side, show them that you are smart enough to make the right decisions at the right times so bad things don't happen. Better yet show them that you can lead by example to your friends and show them how to you use technology effectively and responsibly.

I think i can imagine the stereotype idiot child that they think you will turn into the minute you get your hands on an iphone 5. The kid who sits at the dinner table not looking up once to acknowledge the people around him, so engrossed in texting and playing angry birds that he uses only grunts and nods to communicate with the outside world.

I have seen grown adults turn into this, don't let technology use you, you use the technology. The people in your immediate surroundings are the most important no matter what.

If all of this fails, say trying to do it over a 2 years time (now your 16) you going to give them an ultimatum. you will most likely be so frustrated at this point you will turn emo, goth, or thug and just completely ignore all input they have for you. Just please if it ever gets remotely close to this, work on getting yourself a job work hard for what you really want and keep a respectful distance.

Remember above all else your parents love you and they are your parents for life so respect their emotions and own life decisions at the very least.
