    Phone for a 15 year old girl?
    I am SUPER bad with phones... I know... lol:P I have gone through two iphones with in a month and 4 other phones in the past 6 months... Right now I have a phone that isn't breaking but I hate it! I have AT&T and I can't find a phone that works for me... :/

    I need one that I can text on... alot... lol:P And I would prefer one that goes on the internet/facebook! :) But also possibley one that won't break...

    I have looked at the rugby smart and it looks nice but I have not read many costomer reviews... So if anyone has had it or any other phone they really like that would be great if you could tell me about it! :)

    Sorry most of the newer phones damage very easy, So you need to start learning to care for them better. If not, go back to a older type phone where you actually call people. (LOL)

    What's wrong with them? Do they magically change once you enter high school? :p

    Oh, so it's just that they aren't cool anymore, I get it.

    However, in order to maintain your level of coolness, you really need to learn how to take responsibity for your belongings. Your parents must be really cool to be replacing your phone that many times. I would never do that. Even if they were insured, it doesn't look like you respect your "stuff" by taking care of it.

    I'll give you an example of what I did to my daughter. She had an Ipod, she left it at school and it got stolen. She had to live without her Ipod for 6 months before I replaced it. Next thing I know she left it on the car and it got run over. Guess what, no more Ipod.

    Text about what? What's wrong with talking face-to-face? Be different and start a new trend -- talking in person. Maybe it will catch on!

    And usually you can spot spoiled children a mile away -

    That's why your kids are so successful and all that goes with it.

    Maybe phones and texting are the reason no one under the age of 25 can spell.

    I have tried for my iphones I bought a really nice case for it... twice... and I think right now my parents are doing that... because after the first iPhone I have been paying for the other phones but my parents said if I brake one more phone then she wouldn't take me to the store to get a new one.
    I just need some phone ideas to help me

    Why are they breaking? (not "braking" -- that's what a car does).

    Sorry.

    But they keep breaking because I drop my phones and I broke one because I left it in the bathroom when I took a shower and so it got water damage.

    Apparently she spilled orange juice on her keyboard and that's the problem. Here's info on rough/tough phones: The 10 Best Rugged Cell Phones | PCMag.com

    With my stepdaughter it wasn't her cell phone, it was her glasses and contacts which she lost on a regular basis (how do you lose a month's supply, how to you run your own glasses over twice in one week). After the second time the money came out of her pocket.

    Things changed rather rapidly.
