I want a hamster really bad
I really want a hamster but my parents won't let me get one. I am very responsible and I get honor roll grades I also don't have any pets. I asked her why she won't let me buy one and the supplies for one with MY OWN money and she said it was because I would lose interest in it and because what would happen if we went on a trip. I responded by saying that one of my friends or a family member could take care of it while we were gone and that I wouldn't lose interest in it because I have never lost interest in something living. Then she said remember your brothers pet ( he lost interest in it so it died). I researched the breed of hamster I wanted to get too. And I have enough $$$. How should I ask my mom if I can get a hamster or not?

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
You have done all you can do having plead your case. Nobody can be convinced to do anything they don't want to. You could be heavily researched and it may not factor in to the decision. She wants you to SHOW not TELL her you are responsible and can handle a pet.
Do your parents own or rent your place? If they rent there may be some kind of rule about pets of any variety. If there's not it's about what your brother did to that poor animal by neglecting it and or your lack of responsibility, maturity or along that line in other areas.
She wants to see you are responsible and that everything you've said isn't just smoke to get what you want. I have a feeling if you really show her you are responsible in all aspects of your life that constant good behavior may yield what you want sooner and better than repeatedly pleading your case which doesn't indicate you're ready. You might be surprised to see how things fair.
