What are some good ways to convince my mom to get me AIM?

Question

I don't mind if you tell me the dangers too but i need to convince her

Answer 1

Well, it's no different then  calling somebody you want to talk to? You add somebody you would like to talk to and simply add them to AIM instead to talk. There's no reason you shouldn't be allowed to have AIM.  

Answer 2

Parents are quite harsh when it comes to rules but sometimes I think it is for the better.

With the amount of issues which surround the internet, it is easy to become vulnerable to them.
