i know what its like! i was one aswell! say that you will look after it really well and start with something small like a hamster. its really simple to look after and once they realise that you can look after that...they will maybe let you get something bigger!
Good Luck!

have you asked for fish? I know its not the same as a dog or cat but if they see that you are responsible for the fish they may think about getting you a dog--it could be that they don't want the animals in the house
Try to work out a deal with your parents. This could take some time, but it may pay off. You first need to show them that you are responsible enough to handle a living creature. Maybe start with an easy pet, like a small fish that cost's a dollar at the pet store. Save up money, to buy all of the pets eqiptment by yourself. Then continue to show your parents how well you treat your pet. Then just write them a letter or note, on how you feel about taking care of your own pet. When the time comes, talk to them about it and make a list of rules; I will keep my pet clean, if my pet makes a mess, I will clean it up, I will walk my pet once a day, I will always remember to feed my pet, etc... and if you fail any of these rules recieve some sort of punishment, like a cut in your allowance, etc.
Good Luck!
figure out a way that shows them that you are responible. i had to get my parents to say yes about getting a horse. its hard at first but after they see how responsible you are then you should sit down and talk to them about how you understand how much work it will be and explain to them why a pet is so important to you. hope this helps.
Go on powerpoint and make a slide show on the animal that you want. Or a pet contract saying that you will give the pet what it needs and lots of love. Then sign it, date it and keep it hung in your room to remind you of the commitment you made. They will realize that you are responsible and can take care of your own pet. Show them you will take care of it and love it for it's whole life. A pet is for life, not just for a week or two. They don't normally care how much you want it, it's how well you will take care of it and how you will benefit from having a pet. For instance, On this goldfish website it says that kids who own pets get higher test scores than kids who don't have pets. Also, petting a cat can lower blood pressure. Normally when you own pets, you are generally healthier and happier. Pets bring joy and happiness to their owners and there's no changing that.
Maybe you should consider small pets that can be kept in your room. Like maybe a hamster or gerbil. They are small and cute! But ask your parents. Just dont go for any big animals.
Tell your parents why you should have a pet, prove to them that you can handle the responsibility. Plan where the pet will live, do it's buisness, etc. That way your parents know you are serious about having a pet.
P.S.
It almost always works if you bitter up your parents. Also, try telling them that you make them happy, and if your not happy, then they aren't happy. Nobody's happy, but get a pet and everybody will be. It works a lot at my house.
gl on getting that pet!!
act irresponsible then tell them to buy you a pet to teach you responsibility.
Start with probably a fish, and take care of it well. After that, they'll see how well you take care of the fish, and try to work out a deal with them.
