Really!? haven't heard this one before,why not!? are they some kind of religious fanatics or just too poor to get you one!? I can think of no good reason not to let you have one, and I'm a parent, $29 bucks at walmart, if it turns out to be a fad I'm only out $29, if you turn out to be good at it and stick with it, it will cost alot more, take my word for it, my kid started in the $49 range, he's up in the $300 range now!. and looking to move up to something real nice if he keeps his grades upWww@QuestionHome@Com

get the guitar yourself, play with it without having to need lessons, just playing around on it will help you learn!. Screw your parents, you should do what makes you happy!.
You can get a decent Ibanez or Oscar Schmidt guitar at pawn shops or online for about 120 bucks (and those are pretty decent starter guitars acoustics, basses, and electrics)!.!.!.and you can read everything you need to know on the internet!. Just do it, don't let someone tell you that you can't!. If you want to do it, then screw those that try to tell you not to, especially if its a dream/hobby/or whatever you want to learn about!.

It could be that they cant afford it!. my daughter asks for things we cant afford all the time, i have to say no and when she keeps asking i try to give her a reason that doesn't say "We don't have any money how can I afford that!?"
try saving up the money to pay for everything!.!.!. then ask and that will also show that you are seriousWww@QuestionHome@Com

Some places let you rent instruments for a few months - you could try suggesting that so you can see if you take to it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If they really don't like rock and stuff (which is kinda wierd) get an acoustic or something and get an electric later!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
