Hey guys. I want to become a member on Runescape. But my parents say no. I even said I'd pay for the monthly fee.
I've been a member before, and they said yes to the last 3 times. Why wouldn't they let me be a member now?
How can I convince them to let me be a member?
Thanks guys. I really appreciate all your help.
=3How can I convince my parents to become a member on Runescape?
Parents are weird like that with no explanation. When I was younger and lived with parents, they would act like that even if I said I would pay for something as well.
If you ask me, think the only two ways to do it, is bug them all the time, or do it behind their back if you have a method. -Not that I would advise that lolHow can I convince my parents to become a member on Runescape?
all they see is you poring your money into
something were your eyes are glued to the computer lol

runescape fee and don't appear to be on the computer all the
time lol

How can I show my parents I can handle a relationship?
So I'm in college but I'm going to go to community college and my parents are Indian so they really disapprove of relationships. I like this guy and he really likes me too and we want to try a long distance relationship because hes going to college around 7 hours from home. I was wondering how I can convince my mom to let me at least try my hand at this relationship. I want to make her happy and I want to be honest with her. Any ideas would be nice.How can I show my parents I can handle a relationship?
If you're parents are that strict about it, you really are better off not to even tell them. You're old enough if you're in college to date someone. But if you're not comfortable with that...you've got to have a long talk with your mother first. Let her know that you had to tell her because you couldn't do this behind their back, show them how mature you are. Your mother should be able to talk your dad around. If they are against it, you can go ahead and do it anyway - you're an adult, they really can't stop you, and at least it's out in the open so you don't need excuses for sneaking around.How can I show my parents I can handle a relationship?
You should REALLY not start off your first relationship as a long distance one. It will be a painful one and will leave you with a bad image of relationships when the man cheats on you. Not being able to see you and touch you WILL have him cheat with you.
Respect your parents as long as you live under their roof.

How can I motivate my parents into exercising and eating healthier?
They hate exercise and eat awful... what can I do?
I've heard that it's ultimately their decision to undergo a healthier lifestyle, but is there anything I can do to help them?How can I motivate my parents into exercising and eating healthier?
Lead by example. Eat healthy around them and offer them whatever you're eating. Invite them to do something fun and active with you. Play basketball. Go for a walk.
You're right that it has to be their decision, but the more you expose them to your healthy habits, the more it's likely to rub off.How can I motivate my parents into exercising and eating healthier?
its also cause their getting older go on with your own life they dont want to eat healthy so be it as you get older your metabolism slows down so dont force them

How do i convince my parents to let me sell my trumpet?
I played the trumpet for like 5 years but since high school i havent even touched the thing. It hasnt been played since i was like 13 and now im 16. I wanna sell that thing and i told my parents and they said that ';in my future i would change my mind and want to play it again';. sum BS like that. how do i convince them to let me sell it. its mine anyways.How do i convince my parents to let me sell my trumpet?
Pick it up occasionally when they are trying to relax and ';practice'; but make it sound like the death song of a hippo.How do i convince my parents to let me sell my trumpet?
Just wait them out. Parents sometimes seem to hate it when their kids quit playing instruments, as they regret not learning to play instruments themselves. And if they can play instruments, well now it's even harder. Maybe you could ask to sell it and buy a different instrument if you have any interest. They would let you do that before they'd let you sell it and buy some video games, or whatever...
To tell you the truth, you probably won't be able to convince them so you should save it for a rainy day. Believe me, life is not fair and one day you may need to sell it.
Just to be fair to your parents, what they say may not apply to you and you may never want to play it ever again, but it's not BS. I know I've been there before.
Think about why you want to sell it and be true to your belief as to why it would be better if you did sell it and take that case to your parents. I still don't think that will work but hey, it's a shot.
Just remember that when they bought it for you it was like a gift to you. That's the way they see it and now you don't want to take their feeling into account. It would be like you giving them something and having them say Thank You, then throwing it away. Makes you feel bad don't it.
Respect their wishes and over time they will respect yours.makeup help

How do I tell my parents about thoughts of suicide?
I'm 14, and I've had these suicidial thoughts for about 4 or 5 years now. Everything seems to go downhill and nothing seems to turn out in a good way, it seems like everything is in my loss for other peoples happiness, if you know what i mean.
how am I supposed to tell my mother about these thoughts?
How do I tell my parents about thoughts of suicide?
their is no easy way to tell your parents you thought about suicide,but the fact your willing to tell your parents is good because its shows that you care for them. now to answer your question mind you i am not an expert i would say to speak first with the parent you have a stronger bond to as they will be more understanding of your plight. i really cant give you much advice but will say this life is hard but its those hardships that make us stronger. your far to young to have your life end. may you find happiness in life and never resort to suicide. hang in there and just tell them aout it, get it of your chest.How do I tell my parents about thoughts of suicide?
heya, have you ever try to accept the suicidal thought as a thought but do not react to it? Coz reaction means more food for those thoughts. So the best not feed it and catch it everytime it exists in your mind. Try not to react, just watch it, let it be there, look at it inside you how it crumble itself of craziness If you can do that, its pathway to real freedom, more real than any freedom than a thought can imagine.
If you practice this eventually, this will help you in your social interactions. Eg: have you ever notice when someone is talking to you about something and after you spoke to that person, maybe your walking home alone and your thought jumps in and interpret that those ways of interaction wasnt fair and selfish? Why didnt it happen while you were talking to him/her? Yeah, its the thought that creates it first and see it as negativity.
Being with acceptance in life as that is just the way things is. Some people brought up to this world differently to each of us and this whats makes every form (human) unique. We are all different and acceptance is our path to this. What decision you make if your carrying a heavy backpack for years?
So, Just let it go, drop everything, let life be in your side not your thought.
All the best for you in every moment. :)

* Just watching your thought is enough to break itself*
you're only 14, your good life is yet to begin, there's lot of joy waiting you ahead, you can achieve great deeds for yourself or for the earth when you grow older. think about it. if you have to tell your parents just do it straight and plain. Suicide is considered as same crime as murdering a fellow, you go to hell and its not a fancy place, we are all properties of God. you dont want your creations to kill themselves do you? and if they do you have to impose the proper punishment.
This is a good site for you to have a rummage through if only to enlighten you to the fact that depression and suicidal thoughts in young people are not that rare and can I just apologise for the folk who dismiss your worries with 'oh your only 14' they clearly know nothing about the nature of true depression .Depression can hit anyone at any age.
http://childparenting.about.com/cs/disor鈥?/a>
You have to accept that the way out of feeling like this is getting help and the first step is to tell someone close to you.If they dismiss you and say shake yourself out of it ask them to make an appointment for you with your doctor.That might be enough to get them to realise you are serious.After that you take it a step at a time.Without help it can only get worse so just explain to Mum that you have been very down for a long long time and think you might need help.Good luck.I really hope you come out of this well.
Tell her just like you have said on here,you know kids dont like to talk their parents for what ever reasons but you know parents arent that hard to talk to.Im sure your mother would be very understanding and would rather know your feelings.If you dont feel comfortable talking to your mother go talk to your school counselor.But please go talk to someone.I know it is hard to have these feelings and feel like you are all alone.But there are alot of people out there that care and if you dont talk they are not going to know what you are feeling.So drop what you are doing and go talk to your mother now.Print this page out and go give it to her.something just go talk to somebody now.
Well you are reaching out for help, by asking the question, so that is good. Please just talk to your parents, I promise you they SHOULDN'T be mad, they would rather you talk to them now, so they can help you, than something happen to you. I know that for a fact because I have 3 children of my own, they are little but if anything ever happen, I don't know what I'd do.... Please just talk to them and if you need to talk just let any of us know.
I felt the same at 14 tried it once, gave me a fright never tried it again, life is far too short especially at 14. The hardest step is telling someone how you feel but believe me it is the best, once you realize how much your mother really cares for you and what she will be willing to do for you, your fears and desire to end your life will stop.
Has something happened in your life to make you feel like this ?
Can you show her this screen? Let her see how you can explain it to us, and maybe that will get through to her.
Just remember it is hard growing up, and s lot of people don't feel just ducky every day, and by no way am I trying to be mean. You are in your early teens when your emotions and reactions need to be checked even daily, by you. Try writing things down like: what do I like about me? What are some good things that I have done? Gratitude list, what are you grateful for, for today?
try to keep in the day, the hour, the minute. Also, work at being happy for others, now, or you will have this chip on your shoulder when you get my age! Good luck
we had the same situation. but i am already 19 years old and i have thoughts of suicide since i was 10.
i havent tell my patients about this. Just one time they caught me tying a rope in my room when i was 12. but they havent take it seriously. they just laugh and thinking i was joking.
when i was 16, my mother died and i had a depression about what happened. i cut my wrist but i didnt do it to end my life. i just want to hurt my self.
my older sister wants me to undergo psychiatric therapy but it is very expensive here. almost or more than 400pesos per session.
now i still have thoughts of depression what i am doing is controlling not to do it.
Hey I felt the same way when I was 14...In fact I used to feel like that even now...first of all...just the mere fact that you are telling us will make you feel good and telling your mother will make you feel even better..believe me if your mom is like everyone else she might have felt the same way too.
You should read a book called Joy by OSHO, believe me it changed my whole life. I really like one of his quotes: '; You feel everyone is happy but you because you see their outer self, they are all laughing on the outside and miserable inside';
LOL! umm your 14 nothing is gonna go the way of a teen ager, get over it will be fine when **** calms down. stop being an emo and just stop careing about everyone else. if no one does anything for your benifit then screw them and do things for your self. your to young to worry about this stuff
You need to just sit them down and be honest. You might have a chemical imbalance that a doctor needs to help you with. You are only 14, you have A LOT of more living to do then what you have already done. Talk to your parents honestly.
you say, mom, dad, I feel like killing myself and I really don't want to so will you get me some help-any sane parent will and if they don't tell someone who will listen and get that help you need.
Well you're obviouslyoverreacting. You're only 14, nothign ca be that bad to make you want to commit suicide. Just chill out, you got loads of time still.
i just got out of a mentel hospital, i atemted suiside but faild so thay sent me to a hospital for help. id recamend you talk to a counsler
You need to be positive. Negativitey leads to depression. Try to see the cup as half full. You can do it.
yes talk to you mother or father abour this and they'll help you in to not thinkin of killing yourself..
how bout ur future huni!?
think about that///

How can i convince my parents to let me get my ears pierced again?
I have the standered ear piercings (one in each ear) and I want to get them double piercedand the top of my ear pierced. Last time I asked my mom if I could she said no. How do I convince her?How can i convince my parents to let me get my ears pierced again?
Offer to pay for it.How can i convince my parents to let me get my ears pierced again?
Explain to them that you really want it done, and tell them you'll split the cost with them, take care of them or something like that. If they say no, then DON'T ARGUE (you'll probably just get them mad). I find that just saying ';okay, but can you just think about it'; in a calm tone and walking away always makes my parents say yes. And I've got nine body piercings by doing that.
Just wait? I don't know why kids always come here asking us how they can convince their parents. This is why I'm glad I got almost all of my piercings as an adult. The only person I had to convince was myself. None of us know your mom, so we don't know what would convince her. As a parent, I know what arguments wouldn't convince me:
1. ';But everyone else has it done!';
2. ';So-and-So's mom let her get it done!';
3. ';If you don't let me I'll pierce it myself/run away from home/get bad grades on purpose/etc.';
4. ';It's my body and you're not being fair. I can do what I want with my body!';
i just asked and asked my mum soon gave up :)

How do you convince your parents you want a dog when you already have three?
I fell in love w/ the puppy in the window but i already have 3 at home, i would love MY OWN dog but how can i convince my parents im responsible enough to get it ?How do you convince your parents you want a dog when you already have three?
%%%First of all check out three books from the library about dogs and dog training. When talking with your parents, just bring up casually something that you just learned from the books.
%%%Ask them if you can volunteer at your local shelter to help dogs, and learn more. (most shelters have a petting room, or a dog walking program, and need volunteers to just give animals attention)
%%%Study the books about choosing the right breed for your family, and comment on this often to them.
%%%Ask if you can give a dog from the shelter foster care for a week to see how a new dogs fits in your family
%%%Do ALL chores as soon as asked
%%% Keep your room clean, and show that you are growing up and accepting responsibility
Then, if your parents don't allow you a dog, you need to realize that it is THEIR choice..They will be the ones ultimately and legally responsible for your pet..dogs live to be about 15 years old, with good nutrition..so your parents will have to face caring for the dog in its old age, if you are off to college or marry a military person, or live in a large city where you can't have a pet..
It costs at least $450 per year to keep a dog, for shots, worming, food, plus any emergency vet care...It is your parent's carpet to be ruined, furniture to be chewed, vacations to consider boarding, obedience classes to drive you and doggy to, sleepless nights to put up with....
Dogs are a whole LOT of problems and responsibility! If you get a medium to large dog, your parent's insurance rates will go up..
So, if they still say 'NO' you need to be mature and thoughtful enough to accept it...and to know they aren't refusing just out of meaness..How do you convince your parents you want a dog when you already have three?
When you learn that ';the puppy in the window'; isn't a good idea. You should go volunteer at the local animal shelter if you want to play with puppies. Where will the dog go when you go away to school? You are responsible to get a dog when you can afford it.
I do the same thing to my mom she usually says no but I talked her into keeping 2 labs a guy gave us so we now have 6 dogs. I would suggest helping alot with the 3 dogs you have now your parents will think you are more responsible if you go out and pick up dog messes or something without being asked. Play with them when you have spare time. My mom always says who's paying and stuff like that, you should help mow the lawn or something for some allowance to help pay for dog food and treats they will think you are responsible to buy things for the dogs. If they do get you a dog remember the puppie is like a baby you cant just like it for a few weeks you have to take care of it all the time.
You don't. All puppies are cute and you can't have them all. Most cities have a limit on how many you can have anyway.
This is easy. Start being the main caretaker of the 3 dogs you already have. Feed them, walk them, clean up after them, take care of them. My daughter convinced me to let her have her own puppy and then she lost interest after the first couple weeks and she never took care of it, so now I'm taking care of FOUR dogs instead of 3. The main reason parents don't want another animal is because they are afraid you'll have fun with it for awhile and then they'll end up caring for it..more work for them. Show them how responsible you can be.
Tell them that you will take full responsibility of it.When I fell in love with the first dog I saw and it wasn't easy for me to convince my parents to get it.Tell them that you will do extra chores around the house and stuff like that.I hope you get the puppy you want.
Falling for a puppy is one thing but think of how it would affect your relationship with your other dogs...and what about the expence? Just how responsible are you really? Do you have a job? Do you pay for the vet care as well as the food, etc? I would only push the issue IF; you are almost ready to move out of the house and all three dogs aren't ';yours'; to take and you have the ability to care for them properly(I don't mean just remembering to feed them).
Hehe. Thats what I did when I wanted 6 more rats! I begged my mom saying that I would do ANYTHING!! And they would totally be my responsibility. Show them how responsible you are with the dogs you have.
Good lick!!
get rid one the one that sucks and move in a new one

%%% Keep your room clean, and show that you are growing up and accepting responsibility
Then, if your parents don't allow you a dog, you need to realize that it is THEIR choice..They will be the ones ultimately and legally responsible for your pet..dogs live to be about 15 years old, with good nutrition..so your parents will have to face caring for the dog in its old age, if you are off to college or marry a military person, or live in a large city where you can't have a pet..
It costs at least $450 per year to keep a dog, for shots, worming, food, plus any emergency vet care...It is your parent's carpet to be ruined, furniture to be chewed, vacations to consider boarding, obedience classes to drive you and doggy to, sleepless nights to put up with....
Dogs are a whole LOT of problems and responsibility! If you get a medium to large dog, your parent's insurance rates will go up..
So, if they still say 'NO' you need to be mature and thoughtful enough to accept it...and to know they aren't refusing just out of meaness..How do you convince your parents you want a dog when you already have three?
When you learn that ';the puppy in the window'; isn't a good idea. You should go volunteer at the local animal shelter if you want to play with puppies. Where will the dog go when you go away to school? You are responsible to get a dog when you can afford it.
I do the same thing to my mom she usually says no but I talked her into keeping 2 labs a guy gave us so we now have 6 dogs. I would suggest helping alot with the 3 dogs you have now your parents will think you are more responsible if you go out and pick up dog messes or something without being asked. Play with them when you have spare time. My mom always says who's paying and stuff like that, you should help mow the lawn or something for some allowance to help pay for dog food and treats they will think you are responsible to buy things for the dogs. If they do get you a dog remember the puppie is like a baby you cant just like it for a few weeks you have to take care of it all the time.
You don't. All puppies are cute and you can't have them all. Most cities have a limit on how many you can have anyway.
This is easy. Start being the main caretaker of the 3 dogs you already have. Feed them, walk them, clean up after them, take care of them. My daughter convinced me to let her have her own puppy and then she lost interest after the first couple weeks and she never took care of it, so now I'm taking care of FOUR dogs instead of 3. The main reason parents don't want another animal is because they are afraid you'll have fun with it for awhile and then they'll end up caring for it..more work for them. Show them how responsible you can be.
Tell them that you will take full responsibility of it.When I fell in love with the first dog I saw and it wasn't easy for me to convince my parents to get it.Tell them that you will do extra chores around the house and stuff like that.I hope you get the puppy you want.
Falling for a puppy is one thing but think of how it would affect your relationship with your other dogs...and what about the expence? Just how responsible are you really? Do you have a job? Do you pay for the vet care as well as the food, etc? I would only push the issue IF; you are almost ready to move out of the house and all three dogs aren't ';yours'; to take and you have the ability to care for them properly(I don't mean just remembering to feed them).
Hehe. Thats what I did when I wanted 6 more rats! I begged my mom saying that I would do ANYTHING!! And they would totally be my responsibility. Show them how responsible you are with the dogs you have.
Good lick!!
get rid one the one that sucks and move in a new one
