there isnt much you can do apart from to make your own money and buy your own phone. you could either work or make some money by selling things online or starting a business

I got a good second hand iPhone5 for less than £50. If you can persuade your parents to let you, get a cheap phone second hand (but make sure it works before paying)

they won't let me, as in they don't want me to have a phone
No danger of you being arrested for voyueristic photos then.

Phones are overrated. Life was much better before everyone got phones. You simply arranged to do something and turned up. No social media, FOMO, stress, cyber bullying. And instead of screen time you used to actually meet up with your mates and play on the streets. I feel sorry for the kids of today (my own included)
when am i going to go to carephone warehouse without them knowing because i'll have to tell them where i'm going

I'm 18 and still don't have a phone (I used to have a Nokia brick too, but that broke), and I still play Pokemon emerald on my Game Boy advance. I find lots of the features on smartphones unnecessary, and I'd rather use my PC/laptop for communicating. Nokia bricks ftw, they have everything you need m8.

Well you say that. I sacked of Facebook a while a go and left my uni Whatsapp group after eejits thought is might be good to post pictures of dead children. The sun still rises in the East and life goes on. To be fair, life has improved since I abandoned Facebook. I focus more on real people rather than fake caricatures of people.

Enjoy your phone!
Honestly if you can't do that then m8, grow some balls, get some money, leave the house for an hour, buy the phone. Saved my lunch money in year 7 and bought a ps3.
i kinda suck so i wouldn't do that. not that i lie i do that all the time especially when u have strict parents
