How can i possibly convince my parents for AIM?

Question

I already told them it was free, it was a great way to talk to my friends, i told them about the buddy list and how i can only talk to my friends, and i told them they could monitor what i was saying and i told them it would lower my minutes and texts on my phone. My dad said yes but my mom didn't. I can't have it unless i have my mom's permission. I asked why not and she said she thinks i shouldn't have texting or a phone or email. Oh and i also told them all my friends have it, which they do i'm the only person i know who doesn't have aim. What should i do i ran out of things to do and say. Oh and i've been very good and have done everything they say for a month now. I"M CLUELESS! And also when my dad looked at my contacts on yahoo mail i showed them all of them said @aim.com at the end.

Answer 3

Your mom is looking out for your well being,t hat is all. Because you CAN talk to other people besides your friends. Have your parents sit down with you one night, and show them the AIM website. Talk to your mom about doing a week trial, and have then set up the preferances so they know that you are well proected. If you can prove responsiblity, then talk about keeping it, buy with limitations

Answer 4

Just do it, eventually they'd let.

Answer 5

wow, deal with it.  you're not gonna die.  you can already text and talk, so why do you possibly need to be in contact with your friends 24/7?

it took a 2,000 mile cross country move to convince my parents to let me get it.

Answer 6

Tell her you've converted to a new religion and it's now against my beliefs to not have AIM. :)

No, but seriously, come home from school one day and then say that you need to get a file for homework from your friend of AIM and then say can I quickly go on and get it and then stay on it and keep repeating until your mum doesn't care any more :)

Answer 7
