Answer #4

Get a job and save for one yourself. When I was your age (and younger) I wanted a skateboard so badly. For years I asked and bagged but my mother thought it was too dangerous and said no (she wasn’t being mean or anything, she was just looking out for me as I suspect your parents are doing for you). When I was about 15 I get a job, saved up $320 and brought myself the best skateboard I could buy. It’s beautiful :) Since you are only 13, the best jobs you could probably get would be a paper-route, babysitting (maybe) and dog walking. You could also try car washing if it is Summer where you live. Aks your parents if there is anything around the house that you can do for money (cleaning rain gutters, washing the deck, pain a wall etc).
