Why I Should Have a Cell Phone

       I think that I should have a cell phone.  In an emergency, a cell phone is the quickest way to call for help.  There are many reasons why I could use a cell phone.

       The first reason why I should have a cell phone is to be able to contact an adult in an emergency when I am babysitting.  Many people do not have a landline these days, and, therefore, do not have a phone in the house.  As a result, I would have no way to contact anyone in an emergency.

       The second reason why I should have a cell phone is to be able to check in with my parents when I am out with friends.  I may not always have access to a phone when we are hanging out.  If I had a phone, I could tell my parents if plans changed or if something has come up. 

The third reason why I want a cell phone is for when I am on a school trip and need to contact my parents.  If the bus got in an accident or if there was a delay, I could notify them immediately and let them know I am okay.

       In conclusion, I really should have a cell phone since I am becoming a teenager and have more responsibilities.  Having a cell phone would bring great peace of mind to both my parents and me because we could always contact each other in any given situation.
