My parents won't let me get an itouch 8 gb with my own money. How can i convince them to let me buy one?

I a am a straight A student. I have never gotten in trouble in school. When i ask them about the ipod they say i should be grateful for the ipod i already have. It is an ipod mini that i broke by accident and haven't told them because they would think i did it on purpose.My parents won't let me get an itouch 8 gb with my own money. How can i convince them to let me buy one?
oh lol i just finished saving for my itouch and im getting it tomorrow! lol sorry...


if you earned the money for it by doing chores or working, then explain to them that you ';worked really hard for it'; and blah blah blah. also just tell them about the ipod mini and if you have been trustworthy in the past they will believe that it was an accident.My parents won't let me get an itouch 8 gb with my own money.

If you have never gotten in trouble, why would they think that you broke your ipod on purpose?





Regardless, you should come clean with them about the ipod mini. Tell the truth about how it broke and even express your concern that they would think you broke it on purpose. Then try to negotiate with them and explain how you are willing to be responsible with your new ipod and what actions you will take to ensure that this one does not break buy getting a protective case and an extended warranty.
The best thing is to be honest with your parents, and tell them the truth. They may get upset, but you know what? They'll get over it. Not right away, maybe, but they will. Tell them when it broke, and that it didn't happen on purpose. They may still tell you that you can't get the 8GB IPod, but, at least they'll know that the one is broken, and maybe get it replaced. I would rather have ANY IPod, rather than none. Talk reasonably to them, and show them that you are trying to act like an adult. But, doing that also means that you accept what your parents tell you. A lot of people will say, ';It's your money, do whatever you want with it.'; That's partly true. Your parents are there to help guide you in your decision making, so let them. Sometimes, they know things that we, as kids, don't. Not that I'm a kid anymore. . . I'm 28, and I still go to my parents for advice on stuff, about everything.





Show your parents that you are growing up, and talk to them like an adult. They may not tell you, but I guarantee that they will be impressed.
if your ipod still work then theres no need to get another one, besides the new futures. Apple corp. is trying to take money from young kids with all these gadgets thats made in china. And it works for most people, dont let them fool you. Technologies comes out fast, and the itouch will soon drop prices. Your mom just trying to teach you how to save money for important occasion. This will also help you when you're on your own, and when you're on your own you will eventually need money more for things you need over the things you want. So that you dont run to people ask for money.
Ok first thing. take a deep breath and relax. Now you know that you are going to get the itouch but the parents are the only hurdle which you need to overcome. I would tell you all things in life are won by a loving attitude. Now you have a mission for a week . For one week just forget the itouch and be patient. Do things to impress your parents. Be very very very good to them. Respect them and their feelings. After one night diner just ask them whats the reason for not allowing? Convince them that you will top in your next term exam. But dont ever disrespect your parents feelings. They must have thought something for your good only. Try your level best to convince them. If they dont allow then just leave it. Dont get upset behind it. There are ,many more things which you are yet to face in life. Be strong! be a man!. If not this then something other. The thing which you are telling that it is your money is partly wrong. You owe all those money to your parents and family only. So better preserve it for future use. I personallly request dont try to overcome your parents. They love you a lot and have done many things in life for you. But also keep your efforts active. Best of luck
If you still live at home and they pay the bills, it's not still your money. It's your money when you're on your own.





Compromise - tell them you understand they don't want you to spend all of your money on a brand new IPOD, so maybe you can try to get one at a pawn shop? Or ask them what they think you should do with your money???
well i got one(which i am on now) great say things like it is educational and i can revise on it and stuf like that. also wash up and do more chores or something ipod touch is great.





get one of your siblings to go out and lose it or something or take it to school and say someone stole it. DO NOT BRING YOU IPOD TOUCH TO SCHOOL THEY WILL GET JACKED
if you wait longer on telling them they will think you did it on purpose. You need to state why you want one because of the broken one and if you have your own money to purchase it then maybe they would be more acomadating to your request when told why you want one.
its your money do what you want with it.. leave ur old ipod on the table and go sommeplace adn they will see it there.. or put it by a chair in the living rm where it will fall rly easily and one of them will knock it down o accident and think that they broke itr:P
hey, i think it's becuase youre parents are either concerened about it or they feel ur not responsible enough, don't worry. have a talk with them. if that doesnt help, then try to prove ur responsible enough.


hope it works
tell them you promise you accidently broke your ipod, and tell them that you really want it and it will make you happy and you will never ask for anything like that again.
you should drop it when your around them and then go I broke it. Then ask them if you can buy yourself a new i-pod. I have the i-pod touch and its amazing. I hope you get it.
Be honest and tell them that you broke them and tell them the entire story. Maybe they think your not ready for an even more expensive ipod. Just wait intill your birthday or Christmas and just drop hints. You may get it without spending your money! :-D
Just tell them you'll get a summer job or somethin and also tell them that u broke ur other iPod on accident! I they dont believe you then i say just throw that one away and go get ur new one by urself
go out and buy it anyways on your own.


AS long as YOU buy it they shouldnt have a


problem, if you already own it when they find out.
go out and buy it and if they have a problem show them this page and they'll see how many people disagree with them !! i mean its Ur money and u saved up for it u should be allowed
You aren't going to convince them because they are trying to teach you something!
If it's your money that you earned on your own, how can they tell you how to spend it? I would just go get one.
Well, mmmm make a deal with them. /if they dont want you to waste your money then just have them pay half of it
i have one it is so good and not like cheap it is worth the money
Tell them it's broke
bash your head into a wall until it bleeds!!
just buy you deserve it
Tell them you'll buy it yoursel.....oh wait
save your money for better things in life ..like gas money
just tell em u broke it...
it your money tell them let you do whatever you weawnt tto do wtih it
just go buy it, it's your money they can't tell you what to do.
