[quote=Anonymous]We got my son a phone for 7th grade but severely limited what he could use it for. He earned snapchat and also the trust to go walk to a nearby shopping center with friends after school through his behavior in 7th grade. He got excellent grades and had no missing assignments. He was respectful and communicative with us all year. We got to know his new middle school friends and some of their parents. He worked hard at his after school activities. He followed the rules we set up surrounding his phone. We had him sign a contract for phone behavior. You can find templates on line. I'd go to your parents with your arguments for why you want a phone and snapchat. Go with the contract in hand, understanding all the things you'd be agreeing to. Hopefully they will trust you to try this. Be specific about you will (and won't) use the phone for. I get it - kids really do communicate through snapchat, boys especially. Good luck![/quote]
