Dear Queenie,
I like to play games online on my computer, but it is getting old and has a lot of problems. I want to buy a new computer for school as well as playing games and I have been saving up my allowance and money I get as gifts on my birthday and Christmas, etc., but my parents don’t want me to.
Queenie, how can I get them to help me?—Teenager
Dear Teenager,
Your parents may think you will spend too much time playing games on a new computer. However, these days, with the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more schooling is being done at home via computer, so having an up-to-date computer is important for your education. Point this out to your parents, and maybe you can get an adult they trust and respect to back you up on it.
