nope lol I tried, they just said grade gift or not they still cant afford it at this moment anyway, and I said I could pay them back when I get a job, but I will only be able to go if either them have the money in the first place, I would definatly pay them back, but I really cant handle a job with school, particularly so close to grad, my grades are bad enugh without having to deal with a job too. its like most people parents are like "you can get a job if you can keep up your grades" my parents are like "I dont give a damn about your grades, get a job" lol I however DO care about my grades, and I would NOT be happy if I failed english because of a job, we get to much homework for me to handle without a job, with a job there is no way.
