Answer: no no no...i dont get it,,my grades are very good and give respect to my parents so why dont they let me do anything?

Answer 1

Remind them of what Lizzie Borden did when she didn't get her way.

No seriously cause that was a joke.

They must have their reasons ask and maybe they will tell you

Answer 2

think of it as a business thing.I give you what you want,and you'll give me what I want.Or,you can SELL your proposal to your parents.I want a laptop cause I have to use it for my studies,that it's how everyone communicates right now.And tell the truth,let your parents understand what you're feeling.

Answer 3

Some parents are stricter then others so someday you may appreciate the difference.Everything parents do they do for a reason, THEY LOVE YOU, what more could you want. Although I have a 4 yr old that has a tv in her room so I do think that's silly.

Answer 4

You need to smarten up.  You need to learn what they want, to get what you want.  Just because you're a little dorky "tween" doesn't entitle you to anything.  

So, what you need to do is test the waters.  You need to see what THEY want, and in turn use that to get what you want.  Do they want to brag about you to their friends?   Give 'em something! Does your father want to feel cool and hip again?  Tear down that disney c**p from your walls and put up posters and pictures of bands he likes...then ask him questions about it.

Want a laptop?  LIE.  Tell them you have dreams of becoming a writer.  Tell them you want to start researching Uni's and start making contacts.  

Want your own room?  Tell them you've taken an interest in art.  LIE.  Tell them you need your space to be creative.  

Creative, that's pretty much it, get creative.  Stop thinking youre entitled to the world and start thinking about how to con the world.  A snotnosed brat isn't entitled, but a good con sure is!

Answer 5

Your parents may say NO for financial reasons.  They could have pressures on them that you know nothing about.

As for the movie watching, it may have to do with the particular movies you are selecting.

Believe it or not, someday (if you live long enough), you'll be the parent saying no, No, NO.  You may look back and laugh at some of the things you put your parents though.

Chill out and enjoy your life.  I promise it is better than you think.

Answer 6

it was the same with me since last year when i  turned 18 and went college. So just stick it out they might not have the money for it since parents dont share that stuff with their kids

Answer 7

talk to them about it. ask if you can do chores in return.

Answer 8

i dont know! and bribe them  like if they buy u something then youll do something for them

Answer 9

just   talk   to  them

Answer 10

You're asking for expensive toys.  They are not obligated to provide them to you.  Have you considered working for the money?

They don't want you staying up late, because it makes you tired and grumpy the next day.

You can overcome this objection by making a bargain with your parents.  Get all of your chores +1 extra done on Saturday, (so that Sunday can actually be a rest day), and then bargain that you get to stay up late Saturday night.

That "might" work.

^j^

Answer 11

You're asking way too much from them. If you really want those things such as the laptop and tv, then maybe you need to get a job and buy it for yourself, they're expensive. Maybe you should learn the value of a dollar.  

Answer 12

When I want to get something from my parents I remind them of all the good things I do to help out. For example I always babysit my younger sister and that is usually helpful. And I throw in that I do chores on top of that. I usally get what I want after that.

Answer 13

may b-

age

finance

wrong timing

Answer 14

Just tell them how you feel, calmly without putting blame on them. Be like "I love you guys but everytime I ask you something you say no." tell them to explain why you can't stay up late or why you have to share a room with your sisters. Good luck!

Answer 15

throw a tantrum or just throw a broom stick

Answer 16

Maybe they keep saying no because all you do is ask them for stuff. Do you have a job? Try that and then you can buy what you want. Have you proved your maturity? if not, now is the time. Ask for less and get more.

Answer 17

You are developing into a typical self centered egotistical person who does not see the bigger picture. Hun...its not all about you. If you want all these things...get a job, work for them and earn them which you probably can't do anyway...So in order to get all these things, you have to earn them otherwise sponge off someone else. You are obviously not yet a responsible person. Take Care

Answer 18

hunger strike

Answer 19

You don't NEED a laptop, you don't' NEED to stay up late ant watch movies, you don't NEED to have your own television.  What you do NEED to do is follow your parent's rules since it is THEIR home.  You are not respecting your parents by constantly whining about what they say no to.  Your grades have nothing to do with them giving you what you do not need.  

Answer 20

Stop focusing on all the No's and be happy with life. Don't use this as a drive to rebel and do all that c**p. Maybe its because you like hannah montana.lol She is pretty horrible.  

Answer 21

They gave you the gift of life. What else do you want? Just work your way through
