Ok so this weekend, I'm going to Universal for Rock the Universe with my youth group, and I am REALLY excited about that. Then later this month, I'm going on my Senior Retreat for a week. My entire class is pumped about it. Plus later this school year, I'm planning on going to a bunch of anime conventions and hopefully a couple fur cons and AC next summer.
All of this is really awesome and exciting and I'm looking forward to every single one of them, but what I'm not looking forward to is spending my parents money. Along with these trips, I need to get a new laptop to replace my broken one and not to mention the other essentials that my parents buy for me. I'm not being ungrateful, in fact I really don't want to make my parents spend all of this money. They won't let me get a job and my bank account is pretty pitiful at the moment. My mom has promised to give me allowance in return for good grades, but once again it's their money.
We're not poor or anything, but I feel like I'm selfishly sucking my parents dry (or at least it feels like it) with all of the things I'm asking for.
So I guess my point is since I don't have any of my own money, should I continue to go to these conventions and trips, or should I just hold off asking for unnecessary stuff until I get a stable amount of money in my account (which may take a while)?
This is my senior year, and my parents want me to experience it to the fullest, but I would like to have a little financial freedom without relying entirely on them and being a burden.
Wow that was long ^^"

Speak to your folks too if you feel guilty about spending their money, and see if they can allow you to get a part time job. If they don't want you to get a job, just don't take advantage of their money.
No you for a week?! How will I live? D:> (lawl)
