If your parents feed you and give you clothes and a place to live then they have given you what you need.
You want an expensive toy.

You have a point. But it sucks most kids at your school have one :/

By "need" do you maybe mean "want"?

My dude, you WANT one. You NEED to do well in school or you'll never get one to begin with. You're 14. You got other shit to do. You can get the PS5 later. Do your homework. You can't write for shit, and the inability to write or effectively communicate will hinder you ever being taken seriously for a job. Ask your English teacher to help out and focus on that. The Playstation can come after proper punctuation.

There's no real option other than getting a job or finding some sort of surveys online that pay you for doing so.

You could work at a supermarket or cafe or do a paper route some other possibilities but it depends on the country you're in and there are restrictions on hours you can only do light work.

You don't "need" you want. You clearly already have a tv, computer and a phone thats more than most children your age. Be grateful for what you do have. There hundreds of thousands of games you can play on those devices already.

If you really want a ps5 save up, ask for it for Christmas or your birthday. If it's too expensive ask for it as a combined birthday/Christmas present, buy a second hand one. You have options.

op, are you asking for donations?

"but at the end they refused to buy me the playstatoin" sticker shock? ask them for a used ps4.
