I have already completed 12th standard,and my parents are still not willing to give me a cell phone.I don't mean that cell phone is really necessary or important.But whats the problem in having a cell phone.My parents gave a cell phone when I passed 10th standard,but when I joined 11th standard,I always used to get missed call from unknown boys,and my parents doubted on me having an affair with someone.Am I responsible for that?I think that every girl who has a cell phone would have got such missed calls from boys one day or the other.So,Why I am being misunderstood?

Hello Shona, morning. Every parent is different, some let their kids out in the night, some not even in the day. The reason is because they are protective and some times over protective about their children. At your age, they are very concerned about you, and trust me the news they see on tv enflames them about your safety. Maybe you can talk with them as an adult, make them realize that you know how to take care of yourself, how to control yourself in situations and make your "girl" friends come over and have a family diner where you parents get familiar with the type of group you hang out with. That will help in getting more trust, and about the boys. You should probably not give your number out in the public, thats the number 1 reason guys call up. Best of luck have a great day!

I am not so stupid that I would give my number in public,so that guys would get a chance to call me.I don't think its so difficult to get ones cell number.May be some of my friends have ditched me or something else that would have spread out my cell number.
