Should I get a cell phone? I'm 11 years old and turning 12 this year in September and I really want a cell phone. I think I should get one because I am a straight A  student, all my friends have one, I baby sit my younger brother and soon to be sister ,also fellow neighbors. It can also teach me responsibility, and it can come in handy if I run into any type of problem. I am making this petition to show my parents I'm not the only one that believes I should get a cell phone.
