How to convince your parents to let you buy $hop items

Hi everyone!  Many of you probably want to buy $hop items, but your parents won't let you.  They probably are saying "It's a waste of money."  Or "Save your money for stuff like college" and "Blah, blah, blah."  Well, don't worry!  I have a few tips that may help you! :)  

Tip 1:  

DO NOT beg for $hop items.  Nothing screams immature like begging for something.  Instead, point out all of the good things you have been doing lately and ask if you can get a reward.  For instance:  "I got straight A's on my report card."  Or "I've been really good lately."  Do extra things around the house.  Also, if you do some chores, as payment, you can ask for a few $hop items instead of allowance.

Tip 2:  

As hard as this is, DO NOT act like you are addicted or obsessed with Chobots.  When your parents ask you to do something like clean your room, pry yourself off of Chobots and do it.  If you say "No."  Or "I'm too busy."  They will later use that against you, pointing out how you are addicted and all you ever do is play Chobots.  

Tip 3:  

If you have not already offered this, offer to pay with YOUR own money!  It is something YOU are going to play with and be using.  

Tip 4:

If all else fails, and your parents won't even let you pay with your own money, you can buy a Visa Gift Card.  These are sold at a bunch of grocery stores.  They aren't really gift cards though.  Visa Gift Cards are actually prepaid Debit cards.  That means you can use it on Chobots, online, and any store that accepts Visa cards.  :)   

I hope these tips helped you out!  :D  Remember, always ask your parents permission when buying $hop items.
