Question

Is this correct grammar?

There has been something that I’ve always wanted since the 6th grade when I first got my cell phone. Texting.

I want it to pause after phone.

Answer 1

How about this?
I have wanted something since the sixth grade, when I got my first cell phone; that something is texting.

Answer 2

When I first got my cellphone in the sixth grade, I've always wanted texting.
That would be how I would write it because the sentence you showed us was confusing.

Answer 3

Since I got my phone in sixth grade, there has been only one thing that I've wanted, texting.

Answer 4

AeriaYukia... Not quite... Try this: When I first got my cell phone, in the sixth grade, I wanted texting.
The word "always" doesn't work in the sentence you wrote.

Natalie.marie3... your comma usage is incorrect.

Answer 5

Your sentence was fine in its original order, but the following arrangement is more effective, as "texting" directly follows "only one thing that I've always wanted."

The colon is the punctuation you want in order to have your dramatic pause!

"Since the sixth grade when I first got my cell phone, there has been only one thing that I've always wanted: texting."

Answer 6

Or an em dash; either one, but the comma use is incorrect. Attached is a fantastic reference for the ten rules of commas! I forget where I found it but it's great!
