How can I convince my parents to let me get a pet?
You see, I hang out a lot with my dad's friends when I go to work with him at the garage and stuff, fixing up trucks, cars, etc. and they all have found out that I know A LOT about animals, such as how long they live, what they eat, how to take care of them, the local and state regulations + laws on owning certain animals, where they sell + breed certain species, how they live and interact in the wild, i even know about permits! And my dad says that "im too lazy" and stuff and that my school isn't that hard. I GOT TO THE FRIGGING PINNACLE CHARTER SCHOOL IN COLORADO. ANYBODY WHO KNOWS ABOUT THAT SCHOOL WILL KNOW THAT THAT SCHOOL IS F*CKING HARD AND I HAVE NO CLUE HOW I WAS ABLE TO PASS LAST YEAR AND HAVE A CHANCE OF SKIPPING A GRADE!!! AND im not lazy, you could ask any of my friends, I just have WAY to much free time. He called me lazy for sleeping untill noon on spring break. HELLO, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING AND STRESSING OUR MINDS AND ASSEZ OFF ON FRIGGING CSAP AND MAPs TESTING THE WHOLE FIRST SEMISTER!!!! And my dad's friends say that I should get some animals, I've helped them out with issues on keeping their birds and reptiles that they haven't been able to solve out for years or they have been wanting to get a certain animal but they just didnt know where to get one, how to take care of it, or what it is even called! My dad keeps on saying "We dont have the money" which is actually a load of crap because he has been making $2000 of PROFIT a week for two years! + we have a pretty well sized backyard, perfect for training and allowing large birds to free flight, maybe even add an aviary. I know how to build one, as well as a bunch of other stuff. So call me crazy, but I think we could afford to buy and properly take care of a wallaby, wolf hybrid, or toco toucan! But I just want to know, what do I got to do to convince this guy I can take care of an animal or a few. He says I should start off with smaller animals, but I dont like small animals, I like and do a lot better with bigger animals like toucans, horses, dogs, cats, even kangaroos, not parakeets + finches.

There's no special way to convince them. If everything you said is true..you're perfectly responsible, knowledgeable about pets, you have the space for them and the time and money, and your dad still won't let you...then he probably just doesn't WANT you to have a pet. And there's nothing to do about that expect for asking over and over. If you're working, have you thought of offering to pay for everything yourself? Or taking care of these friends you mentioned pets to show you aren't lazy? If the "guy" you're referring to is your dad, then he's offered you the chance to have a pet, just not the one you want. But I don't know if that's who you're talking about. Though I agree that if you haven't owned pets before you should start with a more domesticated animal, not something exotic like you're talking about...some of those I don't are even legal to own. Even if they were, since you said your school is very demanding and you're working, it would be better for you to own something that doesn't require a ton of time.
