Just make sure you can take care of it and they shouldn't have a problem with it in the long run. At first they'll probably be upset, but convince them that you can take care of it on your own (including feeding it, playing with it, and buying things for it - like food - with your own money). It will show them you can be responsible and parents like that quality in their kids. Oh, and you should probably tell all of your friends not to get you anymore pets so you don't have to worry about this situation again.

[MY NAME IS BRITTANY]

i think you should just tell them that your friend bought you a rat as a present and you didn't know, and you'd feel bad about making him bring it back.
you should just promise to take care of it, i think they should be okay with that, but i don't know your parents.

i thought of that, petree.

but then what if they go and say "wtf why did you buy our daughter a rat as a present?"

and then it just goes downhill after that. but thankies for your help.

im so excited yet scared

[...analu!]

well, i would just tell my parents the truth, i mean, if you KNOW you're capable of taking care of it, they shouldn't be upset. just don't give them a reason aside from that to be upset with you and take care of it. make sure nothing smells odd (because rodents do smell a little depending on how clean or not the cage is) and don't let the rat bother your parents.

aside from that, there's nothing much you can do now, right?

[xxnefariousxx]

I would explain the situation to my parents. Parents appreciate the truth and it shows how responsible you are. Tell them that this rat is none of their responsibility: it is solely a test for your responsibility. And being a responsible teenager now, you should be able to think of the future: if you can afford this rat - then keep it. If you don't think you can afford this rat, then you should maybe try and rehome it.

Maybe you should ask the friend that bought it for you to pitch in a little - it's a little rude that he got you a pet without your consent. I would be pretty upset by it - especially if I didn't have the funds for it.

Good luck, though.
