Well, show them that you are responsible. Tell them why you want it, what advantages it gives you, and all that good stuff. Explain to them that you can be responsible enough for it like you need to and like they want you to be.

Well if you think she's failing you all on purpose go talk to the principal.  If you can reason with her, ask her if you can do extra credit or what you can do to pull your grade up.  Better yet, ask her if she can tutor you.  Teachers hate when they have to do extra work and maybe she will take it easy on you guys.

think about how much you can play when you finish\nif this does not work, think about how angry your parents will be if they find out that you still have stuff to do and you are playing

Well I'm assuming that your still fairly young, so listen to your mom for the time being.  Then when you get a little older, I would say around a junior or senior in high school bring it up again, have her speak with an Air Force recruiter and then go from there.  \nYou also might want to point out that the military is offering boo-koo bucks now in the GI Bill, which will be a great help if you pursue a degree in the medical profession.

Write up a petition and have as many parents as you can find to sign it.  Then take it to the school board.  Also take it to the town council meeting.  Try to do something before an accident happens.  Good Luck in your quest.

It would be easier to help you if I knew where in Michigan you are but I'll show you some places but here are all the resorts: http://travel.yahoo.com/p-ski-525421-michigan_ski_resorts-i\nThe have links to the individual sites as well. I want to make you aware that it's kind of foolish to get a snowboard if you aren't going to learn how to ride it, Maybe, instead of getting a board, rent a board for the season and ask for a season pass instead. A lot of resorts have buses up there, and I'm sure your dad would let you ride the bus. If your heart is set on getting that board, ask for your mom's help with transportation if you pay for the pass or something like that. I learned on a rented board and I'm incredibly glad that I did because I tore it up pretty bad just from learning and if it had been mine, I would have had to get a new one the next year anyway. Try out snowboarding before you buy a board because you might hate it, though I doubt it. Or maybe, get a used board boot and bindings and ask for a season pass somewhere too. There are resorts all over Michigan and I'm sure you'll find one and you need to work out a deal with your dad involving transportation if you want to go.

Sounds like you are conjuce, fixing budjet to give gift to your girl.\n\nPresent her watch and say her feel like i am with you for every second. hope this is the  cheapest thing i can suggest in your budjet.\n\nBut ask her not to take that watch to exam hall while giving her final year examinations, otherwise she will definitely fail in the exams.\n\nJust Kidding  dont ask suggesstions for this, select the best what ever you like, hope you have the good taste.

You could get her a copy of "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Seuss. It's fun and very encouraging. Traditionally it's a gift for graduation but it kind of sends the message that you're very proud of her accomplishment.

Write her a letter/note and stick it in her locker. We (most of us) LOVE stuff like that. Just don't forget to sign it with your name. You can do a couple til you get the courage to ask her. I know it seems really hard but the worst she can do is say no. Then you can go with someone else. You'll do fine!\nGood Luck!!!!

I expect that your mom loves you tremendously, and wants you to have much happiness and joy in your life. It may be difficult, but do take the time to hear her out. If you can get past the "I said no" discussion to understand what her fears and hopes for you are, it may help create an opportunity for you to make your case and for her to listen to you. In the world of competitive sports, for every success, there are many who tried their hardest but didn't make it (not always because of ability alone). On the other hand, just the act of participating in sports and competition can be an amazing learning experience for you. You will learn how to work hard for a goal. I hope you are truly successful, I truly do. But, some of the best life-lessons in sports comes from our challenges and failures. If gymnastics teaches you to take care of yourself and work hard, and not give up, then those are valuable life lessons which will make you a stronger person for the rest of your life. But you see, all this takes a good deep meaningful talk with your mom. So try to give her a chance to really talk, and not just lecture. Listen to be heard.

your parents should have the final say as to whether you can go. if they are supportive of you then this teacher shouldnt be able to stop you from going. if you have your parents support, ask your teacher to sign the slip. if she doesnt, report it to the office, or someone in charge of your trips, and have them contact your parents.\n\ngood luck!

Make them feel that you are responsible. Give them reasons (ex. What if I need to call 911? What if I miss the bus at school and need to get a car ride and have to call you).\n\nIf they dont let you get one on there account look into prepaid cell phones.

I understand what your saying. I enjoy stock car racing and would love to start (I'm only 16) but I know how pricey it could get and want to do it on my own with a little help from my mom. I'd suggest sitting down with your parents and seriously talk to them about this. Ask them if you could get a job to help pay for some of the expenses (if you feel you could work) and go from there. I keep hearing it's better to start young. So I wish you luck and hope you achieve what you want. Oh and don't ever stop believing in yourself-whether you start know or 10 years from now at least you'll know you tried!

It depends on the child, when mine are 13 or 14, if they are responsible enough to handle keeping track of the minutes, and text messages, or maybe work to pay some of the bill, I would be happy to get them one.  Plus I would like them to have it for emergencies, or for me to be able to get ahold of them if they miss curfew.  However, if they are getting bad grades in school, sneaking out, getting caught drinking or any other misbehaving acts, I see no reason why I should reward them with cell phone. \n\n Perhaps it would help convince your mother if you explain to her the good reasons you should have one, like getting stranded somewhere, her being able to contact you easily when you are out with friends etc. And prove to her that you are responsible enough to handle one by showing her good grades, and other things you have been doing well.
