<prompt> Human: I am currently going to 10th grade this fall. So, for the new school year, I was looking to buy a new laptop. However, after saving up for 3 years after holidays and birthdays, I only have 275, when my desired budget is 600.I was thinking of ways to get money over the next couple of months. However, my parents wont allow me to get a job for some reason. They also said they wont allow me to do work around the house for money. I was looking for other options but I cant think of much. Flipping sneakers came to mind because I used to be a sneaker head. However, I noticed that this is very hard and I dont really want to gamble to see if the retail price is lower than the new selling price. And finally, I looked into stocks because we learned about them in the past, but I do not have the money to gamble for that. So what options do I have to gain money?  <response>: You need to talk to your parents. Tell them that you want to earn money to pay for a laptop, and ask them why they dont want you to get a job or do chores for them. Ask if you could do chores for other family members, or instead of a regular job, if you could do small jobs for friends and neighbors like lawncare or babysitting. Ultimately, if your parents say that you arent allowed to do things that earn money, then you cannot earn money right now.
