you could ask them if you could try out temporary highlights just to see how they look and if you like them, and if you dont then they come out in a couple of washes... you can get this kinda stuff at walmart or something like that if you need any help just askk

just tell them that you need to be able to live...and that the only way to fit in at school is to look good and highlights make you look good! haha it worked on my parents when i was your age :)

I'm 14 1/2 and i got highlights for the first time last month!! Your parents may not want you to get them because they are expensive and you have to keep doing it every few months because of the roots. I suggest you offer to pay for it by yourself, and if they won't take you, have a friend take you and get it done yourself! Your parents will get over it pretty easily, espesially if it's done right and looks good! Just make sure when you go you know what color you want and if you want a lot or little and if you have more hair thy're gonna charge you for the extra goop they use!
Good luck!

you have to show them that you are machore and you can handle it.. you have to do things around the house and maybe even right a report on why you shoudl get your hair highlighted.. i did both of them to get a cell phone and it worked :-) expecially the report.. my mom was like omg! you wrote a report! so try them :-)

make them relieze your 13 and your not a baby. im not saying your imature, but try acting more mature than you already are. like dont whine, dont make a big deal out of things. maybe offer to water the plants, or baby-sit or something like that. do work maround the house with out them telling you to.
good luck!!

Wow. Tell your parents that you have certain needs. And one of those would be highlights. I mean...your 13..you need to have all your needs. My mom let me get highlights that way...i didn't say it exactly that way..but it was similar.

I had the same problem.My mother is very strict. I wanted to get them so badly,cuz everyone else had them. I think you should ask your parents to let you try a wash out of the color you want, see if you like it and if they do. Then maybe in sometime you can get permant.
But i warn you, i dont know how dark your hair is but mine is naturally pure black. I got brown highlights and it showed up orange (i mean like pumpkin orange) I got them in Feb. I was teased for months "Halloween is in October dipshit" It sucked. I'm not trying to scare you about getting them, im just telling you my story of what could happen. Its August and im going to my salon once a month to get a shine treatment,slowing reducing the color. It costs my mom $60 a month.
Everytime we go, she always says "i told you so"
It sucks.
(im not saying this will happen to you,heck it might be worse, or if you have any amount of degree in luck [[unlike me]] it will turn out fine)
Rate me if i helped

when i was 13 my parents wouldnt let me get highlights either. so i convinced them to let me get ones that wouldnt stay in that long to see if they liked them and if they did they would let me get some. well they did so i got to get highlights so try that.

Highlights can be simple. They don't have to be extravagent, and you don't have to pay lots of money to get them done. Do-it-yourself home kits work just as well [depending on your skill] & you can always fix it.
I suggest you try to persuede them by showing how responsible you are. Also, pay for it yourself that way if you don't get a color you like, or if you want it changed back, it will be your own mistake and they can't say anything about it because it's not their money. Good luck!
