How can I convince my parents to let me to go to boarding school?

They say it's to much and I keep telling them I can go on scholarships and they change it to a different subject. How can I make them want me go to boarding school? I really want to go.How can I convince my parents to let me to go to boarding school?
First a couple of questions-





How old are you?


Why do you want to go?


Are you parents objections mainly related to the costs associated with boarding school?


Do they have any other objections (ie moral, religious, or just not wanting you to move out of home)?


Is there one school that you have your heart set on?


What are your chances of getting a scholarship?





Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure that I answer your question properly.How can I convince my parents to let me to go to boarding school?
I think you can tell your parents that in a boarding school you will learn a sense of responsibility and to be more social you will learn a lot of things on your own.

How do I convince my parents to let me have a bird?

Okay so.....A friend of mine had 2 birds and they had babies and I became emotionally attached to one of them. I named her Lucy, and I adore her! The bird, cage, and the first bag of food is provided for free. I dont know if my mom has an issue because her bird was killed a few years ago. Even when my dad states his issue and I have a solution, he seems sure I haven't.


BTW I have tried showing them I'm responsible, I will continue to do that.How do I convince my parents to let me have a bird?
i had never had a pet before until this may...i had been bugging my parents to allow me to have a pet...eventually i wrote very long essays to my dad about how good pets are(hes a sucker for essays and good facts) thats basically all it needs...my birthday came in may and now im the proud 13 year old owner of 2 amazing budgiesHow do I convince my parents to let me have a bird?
See i have copied this article from net and you can also go through all other ones also to get an idea hw to convince ur parents .................


Having pets actually provide health benefites, say experts, as long as you're not allergic to animals or terrified of them. ';Pet ownership is good for your health both physically and psychologically,';


Sure, pets provide companionship and unconditional love. But research has shown that they can also help reduce stress and blood pressure in owners, increase longevity in those who've had heart attacks, and even relax and improve the appetites of Alzheimer's patients. ';Any disease condition that has a stress-related component to it, we believe pets could ameliorate stress and moderate the situation,'; says biologist Erika Friedmann, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Nursing. ';It's providing a focus of attention that's outside of someone's self. They're actually letting you focus on them rather than focusing inward on yourself all the time.';


.............................. and so on. Best of luck
Ask for a trial run.





See if your friend will let you ';try out'; the bird for a week or 2. Do a good job of caring for it to show you can handle havign the bird and hopefully your parents will get somewhat attached in the process as well.
try to write for them a persuasive letter about birds and tell them the advantages of having a bird and support them with facts


persusave means to make people do what u think about to agree with your point

  • How do I get my parents to let me have a new puppy?

    I really want a new dog since my cat ran away but I don't know how to convince my parents because they are really weird about that kind of thing. I already have a dausand that is 6 years old. It would be great to have another one! I'm a big animal lover!!!!!!!! Please help m.How do I get my parents to let me have a new puppy?
    Convince them that you are responsible enough to take care of the dog, feed it, bathe it, walk it, and clean up after it. Make sure you convince them that they will have to do nothing for the dog that will do EVERYTHING, you will work with it to potty train it, not to make messes, and to listen and do what its told. Parents don't like pets because its basically something else they have to take care of, another kid. Make sure they understand you they will have to put forth no effort what so ever.How do I get my parents to let me have a new puppy?
    I just kept buggin my parents and i kept crying on purpose in front of them telling them i missed my dog(he died) and that i wanted another one because i felt so lonely...they finally gave in and we are geting one next week for my 14th birthday...:P good luck
    Talk to your parents about why you want another pet, and explain what you are willing to do to participate in its care. Alot of times children make all these promises about taking the dog for walks, feeding, cleaning up after it etc and they never come through with their promises. All of the pet care is then on Mom/Dad. As you know, dogs need daily attention, food, water, love, exercise. Good Luck!
    Same problem with me, start searching why its good to get a dog ,be emotional about it and pick up your grades a school.
    BEG.
    I've got the BEST PLAN- show them how responsible you are by renting your OWN apartment, paying all of your OWN bills and paying for/caring for a puppy on your OWN. I'm sure they won't object then.
    keep bugging them but you already have a dog so not sure why you really need to have another one? Reality is when you go away to college the dog becomes their problem.

    How can I convince my parents to get me a hamster?

    I asked my parents if I can get a hamster and they said no because they don't want another pet. We only have a dog. I have been acting very responsible and I just did really well on my report card. I need reasons to get a hamster!How can I convince my parents to get me a hamster?
    Hamsters are a very good way to hold responsibility.


    They are like your own child in the way that you have to feed it let it play and get exersice.


    When you tell your parents that you want a hamster tell them that you would like somthing that YOU can take care of something that YOU can be responsible for.


    Also Hamsters aren't a huge bother. They are perfectly content just running around on thier wheel.


    Hamsters also aren't like other animals most place like i said before allow small animal(excluding ferrets) because they don't need to be left out of their cage for hours and they also arn't noisy.


    There's a few idea on how to ask your parents...


    If they don't work srry.


    They worked for me and they all are true.

    How do i convince my parents to get me a cell in a mature way?

    I am 12 and I want a Cell Phone. How do I confront them about this?


    PLEASE HELP!!! I am willing to pay for it. Does telus have good deals for plans with unlimited text?How do i convince my parents to get me a cell in a mature way?
    How do you plan on paying for the phone and for the plan? If you can afford it, you can have it.How do i convince my parents to get me a cell in a mature way?
    Show them justification. If you live in an unsafe neighborhood, show them the crime statistics and how it could be used as a safety net. If you want one just for fun, show them good grades and say it is reward for doing a good job and you will continue to do well after you have had the phone.





    You might need to realize one thing. When your parents were growing up they didn't have cell phones. So its hard to relate to them the significance of needing one at your age, now. You have to make your case by relating to them why they need their cellphones now. Ask them how difficult it would be if they didn't have the cellphones now. Then make your case. Good luck!
    Make a list of why you need one. NOT why you want one. In case of emergency's etc. Maybe money is an issues or a contract for your parents. Ask for it for your B-day or some holiday. You must be respectful, and responsible.
    Just ask them. You can't just say 'get me cell phone....NOW.' You have to be nice and mature about it. Try the Voyager, the Dare or the ENV2.
    You don't confront them, that's almost like an act of war. Your parents will know when you are mature enough for a cellphone. How will you pay for it, with your parents money or do you have a job??? You're a little to young to have a job.

    How do I convince my parents to let me go to a night club?

    Im 16 and very responsible. My friends have been going to this night club where there are nights just for 16-20 year olds (so no drinking). The only problem my parents have is that its a half hour drive and they dont want me out that late that far away. If there was one closer they say they would let me go.


    Do you guys have any idea how i could convince them to let me go?How do I convince my parents to let me go to a night club?
    Just come home earlier.How do I convince my parents to let me go to a night club?
    Do not lie to your parents. Unfortunately if they say no then that usually means no and the best thing you can do is honour their wishes. If you were to lie about your whereabouts you run the risk of losing their trust completely and as a result then may stop you going out altogether. You are only 16 and whether drinking is involved or not is irrelevant, they only have your best interests at heart. They don't sound as though they are being unreasonable, as they have stated that they would not mind if it was closer. Maybe you and your friends could organise a night out somewhere closer to home and your parents might be happy for you to go when you are a little older. Show you are a mature young adult and obey what they say and they may just loosen their reigns abit and allow you to go.
    you should ask them to sleep over at your friends house and then just go. Its not really lying. just stretching. If you can't, prove to them that it's safe and you're responsible enough. Introduce you're nicest, safest friend who can drive you there. Have all your friends convince them. OR have them all at your house at once and then have them leave to the night club and make them feel bad about it.
    DON'T GO 2 A NIGHT CLUB!!!!!!!!!! +o(
    Sneak out the window just kidding

    How can I get my parents to get me unlimited text messaging?
