How To Get My Parents To Forgive Me and Say Yes?

Question

Ok.. I know you guys think I am crazy for this. But I agree with you completely. Ok, I made a new Yahoo account just to ask this question because I think it is that bad. I am a female. And I play World of Warcraft. Well, played... About 4 months back I had been texting someone from WoW (World of Warcraft) and these texts... were inappropriate. It was about sex. But I always covered them up and thought no one would find out. But eventually someone will find out, of course. One day I left my phone on my bed, and went to take a shower. I also forgot to delete the inappropriate texts and lock my door. When I came back, I looked at my texts and there were some read texts that I know I didn't read, meaning someone else saw them. I got really scared and later when my parents got home from work, they walked into my room, while I was in there, they didn't say a word, picked up my phone and kindle, and walked out. I knew they had found out. I also did the 'sexting' thing a while back but it wasn't as nearly as bad and they forgave me for it and let me play WoW again. But this time they got mad and didn't let me play World of Warcraft ever again. Now, 4 months later, yesterday, I asked my mom.. well, I should say I BEGGED my mom, to play World of Warcraft again. I gave her vows that I would only play during the weekends during the school year, she could take away my phone for good if I mis-behaved, and that I would let her do parental controls if she wanted to. and the day before that I had cleaned the whole house and used my manners to make her happy. and the morning I had asked her I even made her pancakes. But... she said no. Even my brother feels bad and is trying to help me. Because when I said those vows.. I meant it, no joke. I just really want my mom to say yes... can someone PLEASE help me?

Well, right there...

"I also did the 'sexting' thing a while back but it wasn't as nearly as bad and they forgave me for it and let me play WoW again."

...is the breaking point.

They obviously tried to be fair parents once already and gave you a second chance. Realistically there is little for them to go on to make them believe that a third chance would ever lead to anything different.

Doesn't necessarily mean WoW is out of your life forever, since eventually you're going to be legal to make your own decisions, choices, and the account won't really be any of their right to control at that point. But until that time you may have to just deal with the fact that it may be a while. Or that it may take a lot longer this time to make up to your parents and prove enough to them until they could believe a third chance is worth it, if they'd even consider.

We all make our own choices and have to live with the outcome whether it's good or bad. Sorry this one didn't turn out like you'd have wanted, doesn't sound like that texting was worth risking WoW for.

The issue with your parents may be that this is the second time they've caught you doing this. Did you tell them last time that you wouldn't do it anymore? How old are you by the way and how old are the people you're "sexting" with? The only thing you can do from here is prove that you're trustworthy again and that is gonna take some time and unfortunately for you your parents are the ones who decide how much time that is.  Just keep working at it and don't keep asking to play "WOW" because they are gonna think your just trying to get your game back and that your just telling them what they wanna hear. 4 months seems like a long time but then again I didn't see the text messages. Anyway keep behaving yourself and be respectful and your mom will come around. Good luck :-)
