How do i convince my parent to get faster internet? *HELP NEEDED*?
I am in 10th grade, and i will try and explain to you my situation here. Because my mom (only parent) is old and never uses the internet she doesn't understand the importance of fast internet. Now i don't think im a spoiled brat for wanting something a little over 240kbps, which is actually running at about 35kbps according to most speed tests. You see, our provider offers 3 plans: 240kbps, 1mb, 3mb. Those are download speeds, idk the upload and don't really care. Its hard to explain to you how slow it is, because it is so damn slow its frightening to click "continue" on the button below in fear of the very common screen "IE cannot display the webpage" message. Every other message i get says that. I can visit zangle for school, but it is very, very slow. i cannot do online research or projects that many of my classes REQUIRE. Most websites simply show up as "IE cannot display webpage". For some things, even books cannot be used. Ive tried persuading her but she doesn't want to pay the extra 20 bucks a month, from our 49.99 bill (this bill includes unlimited home phone service, unlimited internet usage, basically unlimited everything but VERY slow. Its not just internet, its like a bundle). I am jealous; very jealous, because when i walk down the street to my friends house, its like i just walked into heaven with 10mbps download and CABLE TV (I don't have TV either lol) but anyway, what do you think i need to do to convince her? We are not poor either, she has a very high paying job, i will not lie but she hoards almost all of it for retirement, or doesn't spend it on anything else at least. Also it sucks because when i play black ops i try hard to get a kill but end up dying, i swear its the internet cuz i lag alot and when i go to my friends house i get loads of kills no joke. ALSO on youtube i cannot watch a video in 240p quality without waiting 30 minutes beforehand for a 10 minute video. I'm practically on dial-up, guys. Any ideas on convincing her to upgrade? It also not my computer, because i just got a brand new one, windows 7 HP 6gb ram 1tb hdd, with 2.5ghz i5-2400 processor,all the good stuff computer wise. and i have no viruses for sure.
I need help convincing my boyfriend to go to prom?
Tell him this is your prom, you are looking forward to it and you worked hard in school to gt this far and that you are going but that it would mean alot to you if he was there with you. If he still refuses then tell him ok that's fine, but I am going and I will have a date. This is your prom and if you let some guy keep you from it you might regret it. If he cares anything about your feelings, he will go. It doesn't matter if he is "gangsta" you should mean more to him than his image. Have fun at your prom, be safe don't drink and drive and try not to have sex but if you do use a condom, I am sure you are not ready for a family yet. Good Luck

How to convince parents to get a fast car?
I'm looking for a first car, something around $2000. I have found some great deals on nice cars, particularly a souped up '98 eclipse. however, my dad, as well as my mom, wants me to get a large truck like an old bronco or blazer, for safety purposes. they say i'll hit a deer, even though i only drive in town. these trucks are never as good a deal, and they suck on gas. also, you cant pump a nice bass with subs in an 88 ford bronco, a car that i'd assume no girl is on her knees in. how can i get my parents to let me get a nice, cool car, instead of a shitty old beater truck that sucks on gas?
How can I convince myself not to eat the food I don't need?
I know exactly what you’re going through, because I’m going through it myself. Here’s some things that work for me:I use smaller plates. This actually works for me. I went to a thrift store and bought 3 older plates for a buck a piece. Why older? Because they used to make plates way smaller than they do now. I fill up the smaller plate (not pile up, just normal plating) and it just looks right.I keep all bagged junk food out of the house. If I have a bag of Doritos in the house, it’s game over for me. A normal person might be able to have a bag of chips, take some out, eat them, and put the rest back. I can’t do that. If I have a bag I will eat them all.I have plenty of fruit, veggies, and healthy protein on hand for cravings. Apples are great snack foods because they’re high in fiber. High fiber foods keep hunger pangs away for a longer time. Another good high fiber snack is oatmeal. (Just avoid a lot of extra sugar and butter.) Eating protein also keeps hunger pangs away for a longer time. I always have non-processed turkey on hand. It’s high protein, low calorie, and helps a lot.
What is the best sura/dua you can read for something you really need?
It was narrated by Narrated by Uqba ibn Amir (R.A):“When one, out of two persons of my Ummah gets up at night and motivates himself for Wudhu despite not feeling to do so since, Shaytaan had tied knots on him. When he washes his two hands in Wudhu, one knot is loosened, when he washes his face, another knot is loosened when he wipes his head with wet hands another knot is loosened, when he washes his feet yet another knot is loosened. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala says to those behind the veil- His angels: “Look at My slaves! How much hardship he is enduring in dealing with his Nafs (inner self), so now whatever this slave asks of Me, it will be granted to him.”This discus the degree of importance of the Night Prayer, which is the greatest among all of the rest of Nafl (non obligatory) worships and also the cause of getting Allah`s great Blessings and Mercy.—Zohzaar!
Convincing my parents to let me run track?
Forget about tennis! And more importantly, forget about what your parents think you should do (at least in this case). Which sport you do is a matter of what YOU want. I run track and its amazing. In 7th grade when I started track for the first time, I got dead last in every race I ever ran. I'm now in 10th grade and am shooting to run a mile in way under 5 minutes. Running will truly make you a more healthy person, almost no matter what. It is probably the best full fitness exercise you can do. Once I started running distance my entire lifestyle changed. Because running distance is so demanding of your body, it requires an entire life change- at least it did for me. I started eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and just being more happy! Perhaps we can attribute that to the chemicals your mind releases when you do something as demanding as running long and hard- I've never heard of a tennis high. Just because of the way it is, the track and field team is usually way bigger than the tennis team, so you can meet way more people. And the great thing about it is that you still get that feeling camaraderie with the people in your individual event (distance, throwing, sprinting, jumping, whatever). With track you can pinpoint what exactly is the perfect event for you. There is not to much variety when it comes to tennis is there? I'm not sure if your in high school or not, but running track will really prepare you well to run cross country- especially doing distance events. Cross country will keep you active all throughout the summer and the fall, contributing even more to your health and increasing how much you enjoy life in general! Oh and let us not forget the fact that track is co-ed! Good luck!!!
How to convince my parents to let me do a 3 - 5 day Water Fast?
It sounds like you are planning a starvation, not a fast. A fast is usually done with a purpose be it religious, spiritual, healing, or personal growth. A fast provides a time where food is not the focus so you can shift your mind to focus on a higher calling/power. A fast can also be used as a "reset" for your health. A time to cleanse and reintroduce a healthier life. Alternatively starving yourself is usually done with no higher reason attached. Sadly, some people starve themselves to become thinner, but the weight will quickly return one the starvation ends. Starving yourself can be detrimental to one's spirit and can be very detrimental to one's health. Doing it to loose weight is dangerous since your body has daily needs to properly function. You may have a short term weight loss, but may suffer long term damage to your body. If you choose to fast, here is an article with tips on how to do this in a healthy way: http://www.totalhealthinstitute.com/articles-research/fasting-and-your-total-health/
Help me convince my dad to buy me a Surface Pro 3.?
Next year my school has BYOD so we have to bring in our own technology. MY dad apparently wants me to bring my mid 2010 Mac Pro. The thing is very heavy and carry it along with his charger it becomes a nightmare to carry and put in my backpack it becomes hell on my shoulders (I walk home). I have told my dad this and he says that he will take stuff out of the laptop like the optical drive (cd drive) and other stuff. That was just an excuse but secretly I have been wanting to buy the Surface Pro 3 and he says I'm too little and won't buy me an expensive device. I really like it and even though we have 24 laptops and 2 pcs I really want my own device. The Surface is good at note taking and is more productive than the Mac and on top of that I like computer programming and the power of a Mac is just too little on power and the Surface provides i7 processor. Please help me to convince my dad so he can buy me a Surface Pro 3. P.S My dad is a Apple fanboy and he will refuse to buy anything that going against Apple. I know this is going to be hard but please give me ideas. He usually buys me whatever I want and the recent thing I got was 3000 dollar watch from omega but he is absolutely refusing to buy me a Surface Pro 3. I am not used to hearing a no and this is the first time he ever did say no to ME! Don't think Im a brat, I'm not so don't judge on my character just answer my question.
