How can I convince my parents to let me get a gerbil?

Question

I have wantes a gerbil forever, but my parents have always said no. I said that I would take care of it completely. When i was like 8 i ahd hamsters and they all died really quickly and they always bit. i did all my research on gerbils and they are very different, so i told that to my parents and that was taken care of. Then they said that im not responsible enough and i told them that i could prove it, so i ahve to take care of my other two pets for a month and do whatever they say. But i slipped up once so now they say i cant get one at all, and they took my phone away. I have done so much research and now all i need help with is convincing them, please help!

Well for starters, how about trying the following:

#2 Making sure that your homework is done and handed in on time.

#3 Sweep the floors in the living room and kitchen without your parents asking you to.

#4 Wash and/or dry the dishes.

#5 Do not fight and argue with your sisters & brothers.

#6 Eat what you are given and don't whine or make "yuck" faces when given it.

#7 Don't talk rudly to adults

#8 Always share with other kids.

#9 Go to bed when you are told to.

#10 Research the pet and breed you want to be 100% certain that it is the right one for you.

# 11 Ask them about getting this new pet in a nice way and don't beg and whine about it.

If 100% sure that if you give those a try, they will see that you are serious about wanting to add a this pet to your life and family. :)
