All I can say is:
Boo.
Hoo.
If you need the PSP back that bad, why not *gasp* do what your parents asked?

Funniest. Thread. Ever.

Ok, not sure if I should post here, and I have only read the first page, but I bought my psp out of my own hard earned cash, do my parents have a right of taking it away from me, technically i purchased it with my own money it is my property, where if they bought it for me then it wouldn't me mine as such, could it be classified as a form of theft? My parents havn't taken mine off me and I don't plan on giving them a reason too, I am just curious.

First off, its important to respect your parents (I'm 17 but i honestly can't think of a situation where they haven't done what they think is right for me. They try their best but do make mistakes 
But.......
If you were disinclined to do that you could do the following:
Take up listening to black metal. Some Bands to get you started would be Dimmu Borgir, Immortal, Behemoth (more death than black but hey.) and Meshuggah (not even death but they make normals go crazy)
Ignore them (as someone else said) because it really annoys them
Buy some new clothes (you've got some cash). Something black and spikey, preferably with pentagrams. Or possibly a pimp suit. Shave your head and paint a swastika on there and most normal people will do whatever you want to stop you from doing that. Especially if you do it at family gatherings. mohawks work well for shock value also.
Adopt bizarre behaviour patterns. Eat only while no one else is there, hide under tables and scream at people as they walk past whilst waving a sign saying "don't step on the grass" (pilfered that idea from some website).. That kind of stuff.
After some time the last thing on their mind will be the PSP. So then you go back to normal for a single day and say you are so sorry and you were having a bit of a crisis. Then ask for the PSP. It should work. If it doesn't just do it again, a little bit louder and a little bit worse 
Note: I never did any of this stuff, my parents are far, far, *far* too quick for anything like that to work. If i painted my nails black they would too... And show my friends for example. My sister went through something like this and it didn't really work out nicely for her. I am partial to heavy metal alongside my Bach though.
Remember, be nice to them whatever you do it sucks to create unnecessary hatred.
Dewy: Depends on your age. Generally such an incidence would be looked on as a disciplinary measure rather than theft though i imagine it could happen.

Wow - I thought this was going to be another 13 year old bitching about "mom took my psp" asking for ideas on how to steal it back or get revenge or etc, but it turned out to have reasonable ideas by rational people(okay, mostly. We still have some juvie geniuses in here.). I'm totally impressed.
And for the asian parents thing, "children are supposed to respect their parents" should read "parents want their children to respect them" - it doesn't always happen because like any other country, not all parents are good ones. The other thing is that asian parents tend to be VERY strict by american standards, partly out of a desire for their kids to do well, but also out of a desire to keep face when talking to their circle of friends. An asian parent's pride and joy is to show off their kids to other parents for bragging rights with things like "Oh yeah, my son just got into med. school and my daughter just scored #### on her SAT." [thinking "Mwah ha ha ha ha! I'm the shiznit!"] *sigh* They mean well, but that last point bugs the hell out of me sometimes.

In all seriousness i'm not sure thats correct. The guy that asked this kind of question was from Australia and i'm pretty sure a court here (as stupid as they are sometimes) would look upon an incident like that as a farce. I believe it depends on the age and character of the person in question.
Secondly, such a thing would be very silly to do because your parents (whether you like it or not) have a lot of control over your life. Unless you are completely self sufficient they can make things rather un-enjoyable for you. If you are self sufficient they could chuck you out of the house.
In general i don't think its good to bother them.
For all my last comments i do respect my parents and didn't suggest anything truly irrational or violent.

Okay. I'm an amazing diplomat, especially considering I'm only thirteen.
1) Stop asking! give them some time.
2) Help around the house. Pick up your grades in school, do whatever. Be polite, wihtout sucking up. Remember, they aren't trying to torture you. They only want what's best.
3) In about 3 or 4 weeks. Politely suggest: Mom/ Dad, I've really been cleaning up my act, and I think it would be fair if you gave me another shot with my PSP. And, you have to Actually Mean It.
Things parents love:
-be honest
-offer to help little bro or sis with homework
-be polite, don't use rude language
-try to do as well in school as possible, show youre dedicated by having projects planned out and finishing HW before thay get home from work
-be extra careful not to break rules

Chance said: "Tu parle francaise?"
Oui, c'est facile. J'aime passer examens pour le cour de francais. Vous ete un eleve dans college, ou lycee?
Actually, I am only in 8th grade French one. Judging by the use of the informal and singular "tu" and making "francaise" feminine when it is supposed to be universal (meaning masculine, in this case), you probably are also.edited: Sep 29 2005
