Get the Internet!
You might have discovered the Internet at school and now you'd like to have it at home. How do you talk your parents into it? First there are some things you need to think about.
1. The Internet usually costs money. You have to pay for most services.
2. The Internet needs a telephone line. If you hook it into your regular line, no one can call you. If you get a special line just for the Internet, it will cost a lot of extra money to pay to put in the line and to have it every month. You may have to tell your parents how you can help them afford this. Are you willing to give up cable television? Are there other ways you can save money at your house?
3. The internet can be dangerous if you are not responsible. Be prepared to show your parents how you will stay safe on the Internet.
4. Parents like things that are good for you. Show them how the Internet can help you.
5. Parents don't want more things to fight with you about. Be ready to make and keep the rules for using the Internet.
