What teenage privilages can i earn with my parents?

So... I'm going to be turning 15 on the 29th, and it's just begining to hit me that i'm going to be able to do a whole bunch of things in a short period of time. i don't want every responsability to hit me on 16th or 18th birthday, so what privilages can i start earning now?

I'm allowed out on my own at night with my big dog. I can go to the movies with my friends and walk across that big interstate alone. As well as go to the park by myself if I want to (I take my dog with me almost everywhere P= ) My parents trust me because I am always responsable and logical and we get along very well; but i think it's starting to hit my mom too. When I tried to talk to her she changed the subject and kind of ran away... XD

Sofar what I've come up with is:

A phone that you have minutes on, not a plan. (Since I'm using 10$ a month calling her anyways).

A 'solo' bus card or bus card.

Maybe start going into montreal with some friends

and volunteer at a store 25 minutes away by bus (if only i had a card so she wouldn't have 2 drive me everywhere...).

What other responsablities can I earn? and maybe how?

Thank you!

    It's good that you're responsible and not crazy like some 15-year olds. :P

    Those are some good ideas, but I think you should let your parents decide what's best for you.

    They already gave you a lot of privileges by seeing your responsibility so they'll give you more based on that.

    I think if you keep up your good ethics, then they will reward you in more privileges, and then you can suggest your ideas and see what they think (:

    well my sister has a phone and an ipod touch. She is only fourteen.. so i think that you don't need anything.
