I lied to my dad and stole money from him to get a new phone

I (17f) recently got a new iPhone. My old phone was a $200 dollar model and I was so disappointed. I always thought it was okay and worked fine. My dad told me to just keep it and I’d be happy, but I wanted a new one. My dad asked me what the point of a new phone was, and I told him it was to be able to text my friends. My dad was like “I don’t think you need a new phone” and I told him I’d be okay with a cheap one. He then said “well I’ll tell you what. You can get a cheap phone if you can earn the money to pay for it”. <br><br>I was so disappointed and angry. I wanted a new phone but my dad didn’t seem to understand that. I told him I would buy a new phone for a few days and then return it to the store, but he didn’t believe me. I decided to just get the phone and not tell him. I then texted him that the phone didn’t work properly and that I couldn’t use it, but I knew I would use it and just keep my old phone. I felt like a terrible person for lying to him like this, and now that I think about it it feels kind of wrong. But at the time, I felt like I had to do it. I still don’t regret it.
