How to convince my parents to let me wear a bikini?

I am almost 13 and my parents will not let me wear a bikini. They are from india so they are conservative but they let me wear halter tops. They let me wear tankinis but I feel out of place in them. I want to wear a bikini because I want to not be so self conscious and I want to be comfortable in my own skin. I dont want a string bikini. I would prefer some that give more coverage. I wore bikinis when I was like 7 and younger.
I like the amount of coverage in this bikini top-

well one thing is for sure about trying to get parents to let you do something-you can't whine and nag them about it. they'll just get tired of it. you have to try to earn responsibility from them and maybe you could help them around the house to get on their good side. best of luck:)

i agree
I'm in the same situation as you. Try pointing out calmly to them that your friends wear a bikini. (especialy of the same religion) Make sure that you don't appear to want it because you want to attract attention from guys. (ex. don't ask for skimpy bikinis, don't always be wearing low cut shirts and short shorts, pretend that you don't like guys) It also helps if you pick out a bikini with colors and print that your parents like, that way, there's a higher chance of them liking it. I hope this works! good luck
