My parents and I disagree about TV?

There are several things.





1. I can't watch TV on schoolnights (including Sunday night)





I don't find this fair because usually I finish my schoolwork and even study extra by 9 or so and have time so I would like to watch TV, maybe only half-an-hour but my parents totally say no.





2. I won a TV at a school raffle and they won't let me put it in my room.





They say we have enough TVs in the house and they are afraid it will lower my grades. I already promised I wouldn't watch except on weekends but they say "wouldn't you rather watch on the bigger TV" and while the answer is yes I would like to be able to watch late night shows and sports and doing that in bed would be super convenient...plus it's a free TV








BTW I am in High School, I have all As and high Bs but the main problem is that I am Asian and I have stereotypical Asian parents so....








what can I do so they let me watch at least half an hour a day and let me have the TV in my room?





any help is appreciated

Maybe you can approve a bedtime with them (ten?). And you can only watch T.V. if you have your hw done. Then you can watch T.V., until it is time to go to bed. If you get a T.V. in your room, make an agreement that if your grades start to get bad, your parents may take the T.V. out of you room, till your grades get up. If your parents are worried about you watching "bad" shows, ask them to put a lock on your T.V., then you can't watch certain channels.

Reply:Well, that means you have less than 4 years when you and your TV will be off to college! Just stick it out!! Then you can go to school where ever you want.
Reply:tell them you have to watch tv for school. and that teachers ask question about whats happeneing on tv and you have no idea because you cant watch it. and if they wont let you have your own tv then sell it and get a handheld tv that you can watch and they wont find out!
Reply:just ask them if everyday after you have finished you homework and studied for any tests you are allowed to watch tv only if thay agree. and i they see any of your grades lower then they can take it a away until you get it back up and then thaey can still keep it from you for 1 more week then you can have it back agin.





ps: if they say know you can watch tv shows on the internet.


Hope this hellped♥♥♥
Reply:Maybe try to suck up to them, like do more "good deeds" around the house, or do Xtra chores. They will c that u r more responsible and maye they'll let u watch TV after skool or have one in ur room. But don't bring the whole TV thing up until u've been doing some Xtra work for a week or 2.
