I'm sure there's an aincent Chinese saying about the kind of people that make excuses versus the sort of people that find solutions.
If there isn't then there should be. Stop making excuses Serenity and fix the problem. Projecting the blame onto others isn't the solution. It was your cell phone and to your mother, whether you know or like it, most likely a chance to show your level of responsibility. Just last week you were hard pressed to afford $15/month for Aces High and in that time you managed to run up a $600+ phone bill?
What the hell? Better dust off your lawn mowing shoes, paper route bicycle, lemonade pitcher and car washing bucket because you're going to need them.
