Advice #3: Convincing Mom

Advice #3: Convincing Mom
@perfectdystopia writes:
Hey, I need your advice. I know this is really stupid, but I've always wanted a spa day with my mom, but she thinks they're a stupid waste of time. I also always wanted to buy make up and my mom will not let me. :( How do I convince her to let me buy make up and have a spa day? I got this gift card to Walmart for Christmas and I want to redecorate my room and buy some makeup with my own money. My mom will not let me redecorate my room either but I really want to. What should I do? How do I convince her. I know these problems are really stupid but I need your help and I think you're great at giving advice.
 
First of all, your problems are not stupid; I completely understand how hard it is to convince parents to let you do stuff! c:
 
Anyways, I would recommend coming up with a 2 or 3 logical reasons why you should be able to do this stuff.
 
For example:
 
Spa Day:
- I want to spend quality time with my mom
- My mom deserves to relax and have a fun day, rather than doing work
 
Getting Make Up:
- I want to try new ways to express myself, and make up is one way to do that
- I’m going buy the make up with my own money
 
Room Redecoration:
- I'll spend my own money on the redecoration stuff, all you have to do is drive me there
- I won't make you help me with any of the decorating
 
Those are just some examples of reasons you can use to convince your mom.
 
After you have your reasons, practice supporting your argument by talking out what the conversation could be like; make sure that you have counter-arguments for any reasons your mom might give that are against what you want to do. After you have practiced a few times, go talk to your mom! Make sure you catch her when she is in a good mood, not when she is working or when she is stressed out. I would tackle one problem at a time, rather than piling on all three problems at the same time. So, find out which problem is most important to you and go from there. c:
 
If your mom says, "Let me think about it." or, "No." Give her some time to think. Don't constantly pester her or try to drop "subtle" hints. It will probably just make your mom angry and annoyed at you. Also, don't stomp off and scream that your life isn't fair or anything else like that because it will make your mom think that you are immature and don't really care about her opinion.
 
If your mom says, "Yes," then rejoice! I really hope you can redecorate, wear make up, and have a spa day with your mom!

Tip #87: Voicing your Opinion

5 months ago - 494 views
Tip #87: Voicing your Opinion
I know that a lot of people, including me, have trouble voicing their opinions on important matters to other people. So, here is a tip so you guys can become more comfortable when it comes to talking about your own opinions.
--
 
1. Know your opinion on a topic.
If you don't even know what your opinion is, how can you ever voice it? Do research about this topic and find out which side you want to be on. It doesn't matter who else supports/ is against it; you need to chose what fits you best.
 
2. Do some research.
So some research about your opinion and learn about the opposing opinion as well. When talking to people about this topic, it helps to know what they might be thinking.
 
3. Start small.
You might want to shout your opinion to the world, but it is better to start small. You can start by typing a post on your blog, polyvore, or even talking on forums that support your opinion. This way you will know how it feels to tell other people, but you won't be shouting it out to everyone you know. Then, tell your friends and family your opinion. True friends and your family will support you, even if they don't agree. Then, as this topic comes up, you will be able to tell people you don't know!
 
4. Stick to your opinion.
Make sure that you truly believe your opinion or you will easily be swayed to either side of the topic. To stick to this opinion, talk to people with similar opinions on tumblr, twitter, polyvore, or even start a club at your school!
--
 
Well, I hope I helped you guys gain the confidence to voice your own opinion, whether you are talking about gay marriage, being a vegetarian, or abortion!
