my brother got arrested last night and grounded for 365 days. so my dad go t rid of all our cordless phones and phones except for one phone in the living room. well i spen alot of my time on the phone, so i see this as punsihing me more than my brother and i didnt do anything. my girlfriend lives like 35 miles away, and i dont get to get over there much, so in order to maintain a good relationship we talk all the time on the phone but since the only phone is now in the smae room as my tv and where my family spends most of its time they can all hear my conversations with her, or anyone else i talk to. does anyone know any points, i could make to try and convince him to change his mind.

Second, just bring up the simple fact that you did nothing wrong, and would really like a phone put in your room.

If he still refuses, get a job and get a cell phone.

alright, makes sense thanks.
