Tips for convincing my parents to let me get gta5.?

I am 15 in all honors and accelerated classes pulling straight A's. I rarely go against what they say or give them attitude. I have the money to buy the game by myself. The problem is they are often reluctant to let me get videogames. I have seen plenty of nudity, violence, and foul language on tv with my parents in the room. I plan to approach them about the game soon so does anyone have any tips for me? I want to make my argument well thought out and mature. Not just stomp my foot and beg. I believe that I will have the greatest chance for success this way. This is in the parenting section because I would like advice from other parents.

    I had this same problem with my dad. So the only thing i can say is use everything that youve done well to your advantage. For example your grades, honor roll, behavior ect. So that they wont have anything to hold against you. And at the same you must think about this situation from your parents point of view. In their eyes they see a smart kid and the last thing they want to happen is their kid playin a game with prostitution,guns, and violence. They dont want you to start slacking, so you must convince them that it wont haplen and that they can trust you. But at the same time you must keep your end of the deal with because playing any gta game is addicting. Which leads to procrastinating and grades droping so dont let it get to your head and stay in your "A" game at all times. Hope this helps.

    instead of buying the game, see if you can rent it or borrow from a friend over the holidays. this way, you get to play and they don't have to worry it will affect your school work when you get back to school.
