ENCOURAGES FITNESS

• motivates to stay in shape and eat healthy
• will get me to go running to keep my good health
• prevents obesity or eating unhealthy

FAMILY DOESNT HAVE TO KNOW

• can easily be kept a secret from the family
• because it may seem too weird for older people
• will not tell the younger ones in case they ask for it

WILL GIVE A SENSE OF FREEDOM

• as a teenager I am prone to rebel
• this will feed my natural teenage crave to rebel
• I will not ask for anything like this ever again
• important to let me make my own decisions
• although not very traditional, I earned this

ENCOURAGES GOOD SCHOOL WORK

• if I see you put in effort for me, I will put in effort
• ten times the motivation any other present can give me
• like a secret deal for straight As
• because this is a huge deal I will excel in MUN also
• this is a 100% guarantee (even though it may be hard)

NOT VERY CONSERVATIVE

• I understand this is a stretch for you and is a huge deal
• I promise you I will not "act out" if I get this
• time have changed. this will not make me a harlot.
• more of a social norm nowadays than a sign of harlotry

I WILL PAY

• in return for your allowance of this I will fully pay
• you will not have to put in one penny
• I will sacrifice all other Christmas presents
• and my behavior will increase (promised)
• so basically my Christmas will be free
