I am a father of a 14 year old
And the best bargaining chip he has is his good grades and stay out of trouble

Keep your grades up and don't let up on nagging of your rents and remind them every day of your good grades.

Also pull your dad aside ALONE make sure mom is not even home that day and talk to him about the bullies in school and how you are afraid to become their punching bag.
To most fathers this would go a long way. It did with my dad.

Hah, yeah. I got real lucky, but it's not exactly a huge boxing gym, the bags have taken quite a few beatings, we only have weights up to 30 lbs, but we have 2 rings and a medium running track because we share it with a track and field gym across the street, and various resistance and excersise stations, and rental boxing gloves, gear, even trunks for bouts for those who can't afford em. It's a real cheap gym, but the coaches and trainers are good, and they really push you when you punch, and help the few bad eggs with their problems, since there's about 40 some people who visit the gym regularly, bound to have a few bad ones. but yeah, I wouldn't wanna speed up time just to get it though, I'm still a kid, I'll live my life and continue whatever training that will suffice. But before anything, I'll def talk to my conselor.

And to the beatings, he wouldn't buy it, I took up Judo, BJJ, and some 7 months ago boxing, he knows my mom has had to clear my name on occasions I have to defend myself and end up throwing kids who try to take me on out of the blue. As for grades, I'll be sure to work on it.
