Dad won't buy me a smartphone: Meet the Indian Parents

Are you an Indian Teenager( around 16)? Do you wish to buy a smartphone on your coming birthday but your parents won't buy you one just because you are not mature enough? Well, this is very common among Indian parents but after reading this post, your dad might just gift you one happily (only if you follow what I say)!

WHAT YOU MUST DO

GOOD GRADES: Yes that's right! Achieve good grades! Every Indian Parent wants their child to be good in studies. Achieving good grades makes your Parents proud and very happy( and you will feel proud too! ).

DISCIPLINE & LOVE: Be good to your parents. Respect and Love them. Show your affection towards them by telling them how much you love ( and don't love them just for the sake of expecting a phone in return ) and care for them.

SUPPORT: Parents go through the highs and lows of life. You must support them at these times and let them know that you are there for them.

TELL THEM ABOUT THE ADVANTAGES OF SMARTPHONE: Let them know why they should buy you a smartphone. Tell them how it would help you in studies and how it is a great source of entertainment at the same time.

WHAT YOU MUSTN'T DO

DON'T TALK BACK: Never talk back to your parents. This will show your disrespect towards them.

BAD HABITS: Don't get addicted to bad habits. If you already have a feature phone and are always texting/chatting in front of your parents, then you have a high chance of not getting a smartphone. Also, other bad habits like drugs should be avoided at all costs.

NO RELATIONSHIPS: You might get attracted to a lot (if not one) of guys/girls at this age. But Indian Parents strictly hate the idea of relationships at this age and they would only think of the smartphone as a way of communicating more with your partner, which would distract you more from your studies.

DON'T ASK THEM FOR AN iPHONE 5S: The iPhone/other costly phones cost around Rs 50K and it is not possible for every parent to buy them. Instead you could ask them the price range that they are comfortable with and then search for phones within that price bracket.

If you follow these simple rules in your life, your parents will never hesitate in giving you any gadget you want and your life would be simpler.

Also, don't just get addicted to smart phone after you get it, as this may result in poor grades, no physical sports,etc which might become a reason for your parents to snatch away your phone
