In our family, none of my siblings got a phone until they were 18. Actually, I want one, especially because of the bullying I face. So I thought about talking to my mom. At first, she didn't say anything, but then she started saying things like, "You're still young," and "I know it will distract you from your studies," even though I'm a top student and I'm 14. I told her I could get it back during exams, but my sister intervened and started to confuse her. I lost hope with her. My only hope was that she would tell my dad because he's the type to control the whole house, but she said she wouldn't because of the problems between them; they haven't spoken in a long time. I want to tell my dad and be honest with him, but he's very short-tempered. I don't know how to explain it, but I feel really distressed, especially since my sister told me that if they ever buy me a phone, she'll start yelling and saying it's unacceptable, and she'll whisper in their ears to take it away. She's completely against me. It's true that my mom is influenced by her words, but my dad won't do much. And for your information, my relationship with my dad isn't the best. I don't know what to do.
