What Do You Want?

Now that you've had a chance to think about what you would like to ask your parents for, take a moment to share:
  1. What are you planning to ask for?
  2. What are some reasons (at least 3) to support your argument?
  3. What are some reasons (at least 2) that may prevent you from getting what you want?

I'm going to ask for a new tennis racket. My reasons are that my brother always takes mine. The racket I end up having to use isn't very nice, I've recently started lessons up again, and I'd like a nice racket to use.

Kalyna R-1/2A said...

1. I want to ask my parents for a new cellphone.
2. I think I should get a new phone because...
a. My cellphone that I have right now used to be my sister's, so it's all beat up.
b. I would like to have the new features on my new phone, if I get one.
c. I want to get a cellphone that is colorful. :)
3. My parent won't get me one because...
a. They don't see the point of having all of the cool features on a new phone.
b. They also don't think that I need a new phone. They say that it can call and text, and that's pretty much all a phone needs. They think the phone should be practical and not beautiful.

1. I want the dress manikin from P.B. Teen.
2. I think I should be able to get it because:
a. I can express my creativity in art
b. I can learn to use it with sewing
c. I have always wanted one, and I will have projects to work on.
3. My parents might not get me one because:
a. It's expensive

1. I'm going to ask my parents for an allowence.
2. I think I should finaly get an allowence because I always am asking for money so I think it would more practical if I get an allowence so I don't have to annoy my parents all the time. Also I won't be borke all the time. Plus I'm going to make a deal with my parents that I'm save 25% for a car, or collage.
3. My parents have never given me an allowence because when they were kids they never got allowences.

By the way, the most common thing asked for last year was a cell phone. iPods were right up there too.

Ariel L said...

I'm going to ask my parents to pay for part of my laptop.

Reasons:
I will not have to ask to use the computer (he has it password-blocked so I have to ask him whenever I need to use the computer).

I wouldn't have to wait for my snot-nosed brother to get off the OLD computer.

The computer I have doesn't even have Internet. (but my dad's does, so i use his...like now for instance.)

The computer i have is 11 years old and is SO INCREDIBLY S L O W.

My birthday's coming up at the end of October and it would be a good gift.

Parental Thoughts:
What did you say? I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear that. Excuse me, I'm on the phone, tell me later... I'll think about it.

Strategy:
Ask both parents for money separately to see if they'll both give me some.

Batting of eyes, pout pout, etc.

Griffin C-lrt5-6a said...

HEy Mrs Buckly!! i decided that i would ask my parents for a macbook.

Reasons...
1 so that i can do my homework on it.
2 so that you (my mom) can have the regulaire computer all to your self.
3 so that whan i get older i will know hoiw to use it efficently ad i will be able to have it for a really long time, probably until coolege.

Reasons for not letting me get it...
1 my parents may say thati it is to expencive.
2 i might breake it or damage it.

Hannah H-1/2 A said...

1. I am planning on asking for a new cell phone.

2.a. One reason to support my desire is that I have had the same phone for two years.
b. Another reason is that my battery is dying on me slowly but surely.
c. Finally, I will not feel embarrassed any longer about my phone around my friends who have brand new phones.

3.Two reasons that may prevent me from getting what I want are:
a. The expense of a certain phone that I would want.
b. The fact that my phone is still in good working order.

Julia H-LRT 5/6A said...

1. I think that I will ask for a cell phone (yes i don't have one!)

1. I think that i and my parents would feel alot safer being able to contact me whenever.
2. I would be able to practice the resonsibilty.
3. i would be much more in contact with my classmates and my parents.

one reason they don't want me to have a cell phone is that I "DOn;t need it" also they might think that i will over use it and go over on the bill.

Micaela C-LRT 7/8B said...

Reasons I wouldn't be able to get one
a) I already have one (even if it doesn't wrok totally right)
b) They don't really get how I would listen to so many songs

Sam W-LRT 7/8B said...

The thing that I will be asking for is a itouch. I want that because my phone is very messed up and i need to get some newer music to listen to!!!

Jane D-LRT 7/8B said...

I am going to ask for Uggs.

My reasoning is that mine are too
small. They are unwearable. They are also out of shape. And last they are necessary because they keep my feet warm in the winter.
Without them i will get frostbite.

One thing that prevents me from getting them is price. They are kinda expensive. Another is that my parents think I don't "need" them. And last is that they think i can still wear them even though they are too small.

EmmaC-LRT 7/8 B said...

I'm going to ask for a new cellphone.
The reason why I think I should get one is because my old cell phone runs out of battery really quickly, has really bad service and doesn't work very well. Another reason is because I have been working very hard in school and I think i deserve one. The reason why I might not get one is because my parents think the cell phone I have right now is just fine.

Carly C-LRT 7/8B said...

I am planning to ask my parents if I can get a new phone. I think that I should get a new phone because:
a) My phone is really ugly and old
b) My phone is falling apart
c) My service is really bad
My parents might not get me one because:
a) The one I have technically still "works"
b) To get the phone I want, I would have to swith plans
c) The phone I want is expensive

1. I'm planning to ask my parents if I could put the downstairs TV into my room.
2. I think the TV should be in my room because:
a) I could keep quite while my parents are working in the livingroom.

c) Then they could watch their shows while I watch mine; at the same time!
4. My parents might not agree because:
a) My dad watches the downstairs TV in the morning.
b) They think it will take away from our Family Time.

Jackson K1/2A said...

I'm going to ask my parents for a new cell phone. I think i should get a new phone because my old one is very beat up, and a bunch of people say that there mom has the same phone. I don't think my parents will let me get a new one because they say i only need to call people and it doesn't matter that moms have my phone.

Tara G-LRT 1/2 B said...

I am going to ask to go to China with my mom in November.. and miss 2-3 weeks of school. I'm still thinking of reasons why she should take me though...

Mike H-LRT 1/2B said...

I would ask for a sport court. I have 3 reasons. I would get exercise and my parents wouldn't have to drive me to the gym. My parents could use it if they would like to. My house would be worth more when we sell it. Two reasons why I can't get it would be it cost a lot of money, and they would say just use the driveway.

Maria S-LRT 1/2B said...

I am going to ask for contacts. The reasons why are 1. I get really bad headaches from the nose pad. 2. I don't like the way glasses look. 3. The glasses I wear are really old. The reason why my parents will most likely say no 1. Because I never wear my glasses at home. 2. My brother just got contacts and he is 15. They will want me to wait.
I know they are going to say no!!!

Susan D-LRT 7/8A said...

1. I am going to ask my parents for the NEW ipod nano.
2. I think i should get a the/a new ipod, because i lost my mini ipod and broke my nano. I am also dying to have music!! I also want it, because you can play videos on it!!
3. My parents won't let me get it because they think that i'll never use it and they also don't want to get me one, because my dad said that i'll prabably loose it again.

Erik N-1/2 A said...

I'm going to ask for a dog. My reasons are that it'll give me exercise, it'll give me responsibility, and it'll give me a nice furry friend at home. Some things that will probably hold me back will be that I might not have time to walk it, and it'll take too much responsibility for me.

Jenny W said...

I am asking my parents to take us to Europe for a vacation. I think that this would be a good idea because it would be good bonding time, it would also be a good time for us to learn about different countries and I would also be able to learn about fashion (something i am interested in). I think it would be hard to plan schedules and a very expensive trip.

Ellen!! said...

Hey Mr Buckley!!
I'm going to ask my parents if i can have a friend come with me too spring break in Mexico. My reasons are:
1. My sister gets to go to greece and i wont have anyone to bond with.
2. My sister and brother both got to go on spring break with a friend at some time in their lives.
1. I would have much more fun and the trip wouldn't be a complete disaster.
The conflicts could be:
1. They might find it to be too expensive.
2. It might make my sister VERY angry.
3. I might not be able to find someone to go with.

Joe N-1/2 A said...

I am going to ask for a computor in my room.
reasons...
1.I could do my homework in my room without having to wait for my sisters to be done with it.
2.My little sister has it in her room right now and she never uses it.
3.I won't bring my backpack in the office and make a mess any more.

Why I couldn't...
1. The internet might not work when it is far away from the wireless connection thing.
2. It might be too much of a hassle to bring it downstairs.

Stephanie P-LRT 5/6B said...

1.) I am asking for computor drawing softwear.
2.)
• I love to draw, and I am getting better, and soon I can possibly sell my art.
• I am aming for a crear in anime drawing.
• I can pay for some, and I am very computor Savy.
3.)
• Its really expensive
• They mostlikly dont want me on the computor 24-7, and I will be if I do.

Camille P 5/6B said...

I want to buy a house to rent out to people. One thing is people would like it because it's close to France Ave. and the lakes. Also, we could make a good profit. Another thing is later we could knock it down and build something else. One reason it may not work is that it's kind of expensive. Also, my family is really busy and doesn't have a lot of leftover time.

~Camille~

Emily said...

I'm planning on asking if I can get a MySpace.

I think it's a good idea for me to have one because I'm responsible and would not talk to people I don't know. Also it is a good way for me to be able to communicate with all my friends (since some of them have them). Lastly it's a good idea because it would help me get better at using the internet.

Some things that might provent me from getting one is that my parents might not want me on the internet where there is SO many people. They also wouldn't want me putting pictures probably.

Natalie B-LRT 5/6A said...

I think I will ask for a tower with a spiral staircase connected to my room. I want this because my room is boring and it will make it more exciting. My room is kind of smallish and it will give me more space to put my stuff. Thirdly towers are just plain cool plus it will make our house look a lot more interesting. I might not get this because it's very expensive or because some people might think it looks weird as opposed to amazing.

ashley e said...

1.I'm going to ask my parents to switch phone companies/get a new phone.
2.a)It has really bad connection.
b)The company is charging us for things we don't even have on our phones.
c)It would be more convenient to have internet and a camera on my phone.
3.a)It would cost more money to switch companies.
b)They think that if it still works, you don't need a new phone.

Jana G-LRT 1/2B said...

1. i am planning to ask my parents for the same snowboard i was getting but then i got punished..
2. my first reason is that they kno that im athletic and i should use that as an advantage, do as my as i can, especially to keep in shape although i also play hockey.
my second reason is that i do well
academically, and they always tell me that i will be rewarded.
my third reason is that they already told me that i can get it, and so putting me down like that is not very nice.
3. some reasons that they could say no are; that i direspected them and i dont deserve it and that we just went on vacation to vegas plus they have to pay for my hockey season, so right now is not a good time.

Ryan G-LRT 5/6A said...

I think I'm going to ask if I can get an Xbox 360. I think I should get when because I have gotten good grades the PS2 I have isn't working very well. I also think that I should get one because they no longer are making new games for the PS2. 2 reasons I wouldn't be able to get on is they are very expensive and because I already have a PS2.

mike m-lrt 1/2 B said...

I'm planning to ask for an ipod. The first reason is because CDs are too old and bulky. My second reason is that Ipods are a lot cheaper than they used to be, and my third reason is because it will allow me to take more advantage out of itunes. One reason I may be unable to get one is because my parents are tight on money. Another reason would be some ridiculous reason my parents will make up not to get me one

Alyssa E-LRT 5/6A said...

I'm going to ask my parents for a labtop. One reason is so I won't have to worry about someone on the computer when I need to be on it. The second reason is I will be able to go in my room with it and then my brother and sister won't bother me. The last reason is I could ask for it as a gift and/or i can pay for some/most of it and it will show I am responsible.
Two reasons my parents might say no is because it can be expensive and they might want me to use my money for something else.

I am going to ask for a T.V. I will be able to watch what I want when I want. I won't annoy my mom as much. I'll be able to spend more time away from my brother. They might say that it costs too much money or they don't want me watching that much T.V.

Unknown said...

I am going to ask for a new flat-screen T.V. My reasons are that our old T.V. is broken and can't be fixed. A flat-screen has a great picture. And it would bring our whole family together to watch the new television. It costs alot and it may not fit on out T.V. stand.

Anna M said...

I am going to ask for a laptop. Some reasone that I should get a laptop are that I could do my homework in my room, and I could stay in one spot while I do my homework. It will be my birthday in a few days, so a laptop would be a really good bithday present. Two reasons I might not get what I want are that laptops are expensive, and we are already going to get a new computer soon

Joey said...

I am asking for a laptop. Three reasons I should get a laptop are that I could do my homework in my room, and I could do my homework in one spot. It will be my birthday soon, and a laptop would be a good present. Two reasons I might not get a laptop are that they are expensive, and that my family was going to get a new computer really soon.

Emily E LRT 5/6B said...

I'm going to ask my parents if they would pay me for babysitting my younger brother and sister.
Reasons:
1. I would enjoy watching my siblings more because I'd know that I am getting paid to do it.
2. I'd have more cash to buy present for my parents(that's a good advantage for them).
3. My parents will have a better peace of mind, since I won't be asking them to borrow money anytime I want to go somewhere.
Preventions:
1. My parents don't give me an allowence or anything, but they buy me everything I need. They might just say that they still want to do that.
2. They might think that babysitting your SIBLINGS shouldn't have to be a punishment as big as you would have to get paid for it. They might just make me do it anyway without getting paid!!!

Sami's bloggerrrr! said...

I'm going to ask my parents for a macbook.
My reasons:
1. The laptop I have right now is like the slowest thing on earth and the internet doesn't work right now.
2. It will be more convenient for me to just have it in my room where i can use it whenever i need to.
3. It will help me stay more organized and on top of things.
4. I wouldn't have to find a time when the other computer's are available for me to use. And i wouldn't have to wait untill my little brother are done playing their computer games.

Parents thoughts or answers:
1. "Way too expensive."
2. "Are you going to pay for it?"
3. "We have enough computer's in our house."
4. "Mac doesn't have 'Microsoft Office Word'"
5. "I'll think about it."

Max H-LRT 5/6B said...

I'm going to ask for a TV in my room. My reasons are:
1. It will help me fall asleep.
2. I will learn things.
3. I have enough responsibility.
My parents might say no because they might think I will stay up all night watching TV. They might also think that I won't learn anything from it and all just watch dumb shows.

I am planing to ask my parents to help pay for my trip to new mexico. The first reason for this is because if they help pay for my trip then i will be able to afford a cell phone. My secound reason is i will have less stress knowing that my parents are helping me reach my goal. My final reason for why I want my parents to help me is so I will have more time to do my home work.

I'm going to ask for a laptop computer. My reasons are that everyone is always using it. It would be easier to do my homework in the comfort of my room and I wouldn't have to bug my mother about her getting off the computer for me to do my homework. That we just got a new computer. Also that its a lot of money for a laptop.

i asked for a itouch for my birthday and i am probly getting one

Z E V R A said...

i asked for allowance.
my reasons were
1)i could save up my own money for the things i want, and not have to beg, or wait for christmas, or my birthday to get it...
2)so i woundn't ask THEM for money each and everytime i need some
3)i hardly ever have time to make money by working for them/neighbors/family, so i have, like 20 bucks
reasons they might not let me...
1)i always forget to do my chores
2)they really dont have another reason, they just said: because.

1. i asked for a T-mobile sidekick.
Reasons:
a)if I have to stay after school for any reasons.
b)if my parents are going to be late picking me and my sister up.
c)if my parents are going to switch up like my mom usually picks me and my sister up then my dad shows up instead they can call and tell me who was coming to pick us up.
Reasons I may not get one:
I am a little nonresponsible at times
My parents think I will use my cell to call friends.

I am planning on asking for the right to date. My reasons are that it will give me experience for later years. Also it will give my head different perspectives on different guys. One last reason for wanting dating rights is that after seeing how well I did in the first relationship, you will be able to trust me. Reasons why my mom might say no are, she thinks I am too young to date and that I don't need experience with guys untill I'm older.

Taylor A-LRT 5/6A said...

I am asking for a laptop. My reasons are that someone is always on the computer, my sister got one in 8th grade, and I'm responsible. Two things that might prevent me is that I can just share with my sister and that I am the opposite of responsible...

Izy M-LRT 5/6B said...

1. I'm planning on asking for a puppy.

Reasons:

1) It's a really big job.
2) Would I have the time?

Phil D-12b said...

im going to aske my parents for a TV for my bedrrom. A reason why i wnat that is because i would want to spend morea time in my bedroom which i dont do that much. I would also want to be able to relax in my room without being bothered by others.

Nico A 5/6B said...

I'm asking for a Wii so I can keep up with everybody else, I can learn the value and rewards of hard work (to get the money), and so I'll be happier and have more incentive to get my work done. I probably won't get it though, because my dad could be going on a long strike and because my parents probably wouldn't trust me to do all the work.

Jimmy said...

i broke my ipod.

Somthing else.
my mom doesn't want to 'waste money'.
somthing else.

Kathleen O said...

I'm planning to ask for a labtop. I could use it on vacation, I could use it to do homework, and I could use it for when the other computers in our house are being used. The price of what I want and if i really need it might prevent me from getting a labtop.

Ryan H-lrt7/8A said...

i am planing to ask for a computer. some reasons are that my sisters use the computer we have way to much. i need one for all of my homework such as blogs for your class. and for free time when im bored. i might not get what i want because computers are expensive and my mom usually says no.

I plan on asking for a new cell phone. My old one is very dented. its old. and the service is bad. my parents might not let me have a new one because i have other things that they just got me. and that i dont think they eant to spend any money right now, but if i ask really nicely maybe i might get it.

I'm planning to ask for a puppy. On reason is to keep my other dog company while we're gone at school and to teach me more responsibilty. To prevent me from getting this would be because we already have another dog and its expensive.

Sarah S-LRT 5/6A said...

1. I would like a season pass to Buck Hill or Highlands.
2. I would learn more about snowboarding. I would be able to have some more experience. I wouldn't have to worry about using my own money to get a lift ticket.
3. How far away Buck Hill is from my house and depending on how much money a season pass is.

Renee J said...

I thought I already posted this comment but I didn't see my name on the list so I'm going to do it again.
1. I want to ask my parents for a raise in my allowance.
2. I should get a raise because I work really hard, never have enough money, and do a lot of chores.
3.My parents wouldn't do it because they think I would spend it on non-important things or they just wouldn't want to hand out that much money.

JustinN-LRT 7/8B said...

I am going to ask to stay up later. Three reasons why I should get this are that it would give me more time to do my homework, I am never tired at my normal bedtime, and I can spend more time with my family. 3 reasons why I won't get this are that I am crumpy in the mornigns, I am very tired in the mornings, and I take forever to eat breakfast.

Bridget! said...

I would like to ask my parents for singing lessons. my resons are that i love to sing, they would help develope my vioce better, and they would be fun! 2 things that might prevent me from getting these lessons are that my brother said my vioce needs to mature before i get them and the teacher we are trying to get is very busy.

2. a) At least two plane tickets would cost alot of money.

Edie O. said...

I am going to ask for an iphone. My reasons are that it would be convenient to have music, camera and phone all in one, i would pay, and the phone i have isn't very nice.

Chris B.-1/2A said...

1.I am planning to ask for more electronic time.

2.1 reason is because I usually finish my homework early.
Another reason is because I need to relax after the long day of school.
Another reason is because 1 hour isn't enough.
3.My parents don't like electronic stuff that much.
I've asked a ton of times and they still haven't said yes.

Peter slrt-5/6A said...

I'm asking for a bigger allowance. My reasons are I do many chores already around the house that deserve attention. Another is my parents barely ever pay my allowance in the first place. My third and last reason is that it could help me buy things on my own, and be more self-dependent. 2 reasons I might not get it is my mom might forget, and I don't do THAT much.

Anonymous said...

I'm asking for an allowance. My reasons are I don't babysit that often and when I do I usually don't earn that much, I won't have to ask my parents for money all the time.

Brady D 7/8A said...

1.IM GOING TO ASK TO REDO MY MOMS BASEMENT B/C ITS DARK AND CREEPY.
2 tree reasons r that it would b light and colorful.also, me and my sister wouldnt freak out whenever something made noise when we were showering ( altho its pretty funny to watch her come sreaming up the stairs and trip over the gate!) . plus, it would help me practice my interior design skills!
3 we dont have time/ money for paint.
