Trying to Persuade

Being 18 an living with parents, you definitely have to be able to use persuasive skills to get permission to do anything. For example, the idea of a tattoo. Everyone wants one, but so many of us have parents that are not willing to comply with our decisions. Despite being legal, I had to persuade my parents to allow me to get one. Its a really difficult topic to elaborate on, but with the right about of evidence, and a clear and cohesive answer as to why i should get one, my parents did ease up. It scary to have to persuade someone with such a made up mind, regardless of the topic. The one thing that is important to remember, is to always try to have enough amount of facts, that allows the person being persuade to feel as though you are informed, and know that you have enough details to make the decision. I take into account what my parents say, but most importantly, I care about their opinion. I also know what I want, and even though we might have differing opinion, having and knowing enough factual evidence on any topic will make me seem more responsible, and informative. I noticed that in any speech, it is important to know much about the topic, and have enough to rebuttle.
