How to convince your parents you need more than two Nerf guns?
in
My friend is offering me a magstrike and deploy for $30. But my parents won't let me buy it. I will buy it with my own money. What should I do?
Answer:
My kid has 5 of those things, there no big deal... What your parents want is some sort of exchange.
Try offering something they want, for example: You can say, If you let me have this I will improve my grades by x amount, or I will clean the house for so many weeks, or I'll do the yard, etc... You get the point. Try it like that, and I bet your parents will be more then happy to let you have more then one.

How to persuade parents to let me get contacts?
in
I'm thirteen and have to wear glasses full time, but I don't because I feel self conscious and don't like the feel of them. My parents won't let me, mostly my mum. She says because my eyes are still growing and it will damage them and I have to wait until I'm older which is stupid because I know that they don't. Thanks!
Answer:
Contacts will only damage your eyes if you don't be responsible with them. Like, taking them out at night, cleaning them, etc. I believe they have trials for contacts, at least they do where I'm from, so I'd say maybe ask your mom if you can try them for maybe a week or so just to see how it works out.
How to get over the death of family members?
in
It's 2012 and two of my family members (father and sister) were killed in 2004 and I'm still not over it...I have deeply rooted psychological problems because of that I became a very complicated person with sometimes depression. I sometimes hate myself and can't seem to see myself a worthy human being.
Answer:
First of all I am deeply sorry for your loss, and I can only imagine what losing to family members at the same time would feel like... Most importantly, you need to aknowlage the fact that what happened was in no way your fault, even if at first it might seem difficult. Also, you mentioned feeling like you aren't worth anything, and let me just talk you that you could not be more wrong about that. Your life is worth more than you could even begin to imagine, for both your friends, and your family, who will offer you support, if only you open up to them. I know that it is hard to get over the lose if someone close to you, but it is something you must do, if not for yourself, then for the family members who can no longer he here to tell you how beautiful you look when you smile and how much your happiness means to them. The healing process is a difficult one, but it is not impossible to complete. The only things you can really do however, are to
Cry. Cry until the tears run out. Get all sadness out of your system, so the healing process can begin.
Mourn the deceased. Mourn for the family members you lost, and pay your respects.
And the last, most important step, live your life to the fullest, to make up for the things that your family members never had the chance to do. Live your life, getting energy from the fact that you had the privilege of knowing those amazing people. Get strength from the fact that you WILL one day he reunited. And get strength from the fact that no matter what, those people will always live on in your heart and in your memory.

How to break an expensive mistake to your parents?
in
Im 16 and today while backing out of the garage in a hurry the door hit the side of the garage. It has slight cosmetic damage and the door wont close. It bent the garage door track too. The bad thing is though that it was a 1990 Mercedes 300E car so repairs might be expensive. How do I break this to my parents and offer to work it off or something?
Answer:
Tell them you have good news and bad news. 9 times out of 10 they will ask for the bad news first and you show them the damage on the car.
When they ask for the good news tell them. "Well, you have an honest kid who admits to mistakes and takes responsibility right away. "Hell, mom., I COULD BE PRESIDENT ONE DAY WITH THOSE QUALITIES"

How to help a negative atmosphere at home?
in
My family are always arguing, whether it's me and one of my brothers or one of them and my mum or dad. There's the odd time where the whole family is arguing and it's not a nice atmosphere to be in. It gets worse each and every day and it's mostly over petty little things such as someone accusing someone else of doing something that they did themselves. It's pathetic and most of all, I have to put up with it and I have loads of exams coming up at school. Any ways to calm them down or at least stop the tension building up, especially in me?
Answer:
Hello, This a hard question. All you can control is your own actions and words. It is the responsibility of your parents to provide a peaceful atmosphere for the family to thrive. Aside from ear plugs, I can only urge you to talk to your counselor for help. Perhaps you can study after school in the library. I really wish I could be of more help, just remember this when you have your own children; you will know how not to behave. Best wishes
