Reply to How to approach. *Please read*

I believe this is a high priority thread.

Here we go:

When I first got interested in music I started to go to real clubs and parties, graduations etc, I was 14 years old, I started buying tons of music, mostly EDM, and I now I have a huge music library of around 10.000 songs and it keeps growing day by day. When I got to 15, I had the desire to start mixing, so I researched, I went into the internet and searched what to get, how to mix, downloaded Virtual DJ Home, etc. I found DigitalDJTips and DJTechTools which are what used to be my facebook and twitter. I researched day by day, new gear, new music, mixing tips, I mapped my keyboard, but at one point about 3 months later after my birthday I decided I needed a controller. So I did alot of research, and based on my savings, I had a list of:

1. Vestax VCI100

2. Traktor Audio 2

3. A pair of M-Audio Studiophiles

4. Allen & Heath Xone XD:40

5. Traktor PRO 2

After I had all my money and what I wanted to buy figured out, I had to approach my parents. -This is where the topic comes in- I didn't know how to approach them. Because I knew they would believe this is stupid, it's just a craving a short term desire in a way, that it would be a waste of money and I wouldn't have a future with it. I talked to them and they answered exactly how I expected, although I had the money I MYSELF saved, I ended up getting a Behringer BCD3000, Traktor Pro 2, American Audio HP700 and using my room's sound system speakers.

By the way Im still 15 going to be 16 in a couple of months. I'm not complaining about my gear, I love it, it's just an example.

You must understand, some people need to find a way to approach their parents, explain to them.

How would you approach them, help people out, give them tips, etc.
