Left out

[Unregistered]

I think I'm the only one in school that doesn't have a phone and I'm a freshman in high school. I feel so depressed beacause all I ask for from my parents is an iPhone yet they keep saying no. I feel left out.

It's understandable that you are feeling left out. If a cell phone is not something you can afford on your own, then it sounds like it is in the hands of your parents. Try discussing with them why you feel you should have a cellphone or at least at what age they feel you should have one. This could help to get the conversation going.
