I have a friend who’s 14. Her mom’s rather strict on electronics, ridiculous punishments follow the smallest infractions, etc. That’s not the point. The thing is, her mom’s rule on phones is “you will get one when you can drive.”
Is my friend an a-hole for believing she deserves a phone, even if it’s a crappy prepaid phone? Especially since her parents go out of town and leave her with her GMA a lot?
