then ask THEM what you should do if you want some money.

already did.... like I said: they just looked at me.....

okay tell them this:

"Mom, dad, if I can't get some allowance around here for doing some extra chores, then I will have no choice but to seek out.... OTHER.... methods of getting money"

and i guarantee they will be asking you to do chores right off the bat

(jk don't actually do that xD)

Why would I do that..... -blinks- I already do enough stuff around the house...

in that case i would just give up on the hope of getting a laptop at your age

Yeah I know... -sigh-

Never spened your own money that you make from now on... I've been doing that since like 9 and now I have over 4,000 dollars

Mow people's lawns. $25 a lawn, mow twice a day equals $50. Just do that for a couple of weeks and you should have enough.

Ask people in your neighborhood if you can mow the lawn, babysit, walk their dogs, etc.

shoplift, bankrob, hold up a federal reserve, blackmail politicians, steal credit cards, *cough*?*cough*, work as a assasin for hire, smuggle guns, deal drugs/make them, join the mafia, insurance fraud, sue people for leagle yet completly bullshit reasons, cap the gushing well in the gulf and become a hero that people throw money at; join the cops and accept bribes; human trafficing, poaching, deforestation, etc...

all relatively quick ways to make a buck or two.

Look injured and say. "I need a $10 donation to help pay for the hospital bills." It actually works. (Well, kinda.)
