If you already have another form of Social Media, such as Instagram or Facebook, don’t post anything inappropriate or your parents might not think you are responsible enough for Snapchat.
Good times to ask your parents might be during dinner time or in the car. Start by saying, “Mom and Dad, can I talk to you for a minute?”[2] X Research source
Try saying something like, “Is there any way I can please download the app Snapchat?”
Say something like, “Many people at school have the app and I feel left out of conversations and groups because I don’t have it. If I have the app I can connect with more people and become closer to other kids at school. ”
For example, you could say “I promise I will be responsible with Snapchat. I won’t post or send anything inappropriate. I understand that although the photos disappear, people can still take screenshots of what I send. But I’m only going to use Snapchat with my closest friends. ”
Explain to them that they can block people on Snapchat that they are uncomfortable with. [4] X Research source
