How can I persuade my parents to join Netflix?

I'm 14 years old and all of my friends have Netflix. But I can't convince my parents, do you have any tips on how you did it or a suggestion? ♡

So

Why do you want Netflix?

Li

All of my friends rave about it and I really want to see these series!

Forego some of your pocket money to help pay the costs.

Snor it to you from your friends. It sure bothers your parents because it costs extra money.

And once you have enjoyed the benefits of Netflix, you may at some point take out a subscription yourself

It's cute when children believe that they can convince their parents with any arguments if they don't want to. No chance, accept it!

Li

Well you can try it, don't understand the problem haha

ha

But won't bring anything 😁

Li

I think so, if you have good arguments 🙈 that's why I'm asking here. You just have to be able to convince!

Not at all!

You are not legally competent and you are not allowed to close your own account. Your parents either want that or they don't.

Now you have the following options:

Look at others. This can be done via their account with up to five devices / users. But to do this, they have to allow it and still have a free space.
Wait until you are 18 years old and start making your own money.

"The others all have that too!" is by the way neither a reason nor an argument. Think about WHY it has to be Netflix, of all places.

"I really want to see these series!" is very spongy and imprecise! WHICH series do you want to see? Why? Is Netflix absolutely necessary for this?

Li

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I understand if you really say that you don't want it. Then I would also stop asking. But they are just not entirely convinced! You yourself say that you think about it first. And I'd love to see Enola Holmes, Stranger Things, and House of Money.

Just the sentence: "All my friends…" would be a reason for me as a parent to say no.

The sentence is as old as humanity and has never drawn before.

Suggest to your parents that you pay the monthly expenses.

And tell them very clearly that, despite Netflix, you won't be sitting in front of the screen more often, but will save time on the smartphone / PC / console.

Okay, then leave her alone with that. You will find out more and think about it. Can you watch these series? Are you old for that? From what age are they?
