Answer:
I had a trampoline as a kid. It was my absolute favorite thing ever. Your parents simply must let you have one. They're denying you great fun, and great exercise. Not to mention lots of fresh air. I only got hurt once, and it was because I was jumping with 2 other kids and one of them pushed me off while I was in mid-air. I was also 9 years old then, and they probably should have considered a safety net for me at that age. My friend had 3 siblings... 7, 9, and 12 year olds... they had a safety net for their trampoline, and I never heard about so much as a scratch coming from it. If you're over the age of say, 12, they have nothing to worry about, and you probably don't need a net.(Unless you have rowdy friends who will be jumping with you and can't keep their hands to themselves.) It never harmed the grass. It mashed it down a little where the metal legs are, but when you move the trampoline and mow over it, you can't even notice it was there. I'd say the average cost of a 14' trampoline might be $200-$300, go for the higher end if it comes with the net. Google Shopping results for 14' trampolines- http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&q=14%27+trampolines&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=g7nGSafIE9KJtgeU4Z3HDA&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&resnum=1&ct=title Hope that helps.

you can get a large outdoor trampoline for well under $200. while they are not the safest things in the world, they are very good for exercise, that might be a pretty good starting point when convincing your parents.

Ugh you won't believe me or even give me best answer, idc. You'll like it for 2 weeks at the most then forget it. Thats what happened to me when i was younger. I wanted one sooo bad. Then after two weeks i didn't go on it. And yeah you probably won't even consider this answer lol.

Hi there :) 1. Trampolines don't ruin the grass if you buy special pads or tiles or burry the pegs. 2. Watch for sales and you can get your very own trampoline for $150 3. Buy a safety net, and it is practically impossible for you to get hurt. You have to be under the age of 7 or really uncareful to get hurt trust me. Do a little research about trampolines and present it to your parents over dinner. Promise them you'll do extra chores or something & I'm sure they'll say yes. Also, 14' trampolines cost anywhere from 150-300 dollars depending on the brand and whether or not it has a net included. If you had a net your parents would probably feel better. Here are some inexpensive trampolines: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10088316 http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3089006 You should also look at Zellers for good prices. Good luck♥:)

I got a trampoline, it doesnt ruin the grass, well, not the grass in my garden. The cost, well it wasnt really that expensive. I do not hurt myself, because theres a net.

You don't want to fall off and hurt yourself! ;] Oh, and act responsable, don't wine and moan that you can't have one, and tell your parents you'll be super careful. You could even say you'll go quarter or half price? - LucyLightnin ^_^

First of all you might want to offer to help more with yard work. Second at least be willing to pay for half of it. That will show them that you really want it and that you are able to follow through on your wants. And if by the time you get the money, if you change your mind you can spend it on something else. . .like a suprise gift for your parents. Even if you do no not have a job you can earn money from neighbors, friends and relatives. Expecailly if they know that you are working hard to reach a goal. Best of luck ... If you do get the trampoline let me know so that I can come over and jump too.

Ok first. Maybe you could put on a few pounds and say you need it for exercize. Next, about the grass, you can put a tarp under it so that it protects it. And get a safety net for your protection. The price is still a problem though. You can go to EBAY and find a used(but good condition) trampoline and net. Make sure to show them ALL the things you need and maybe they will say yes. GOOD LUCK.

a net would be a good idea and maybe you could tell them that it would be good extersise and that not too much damage could happen with a trampoline
