Perhaps the best solution would be for your Mom (or other adult with a credit card) to set-up Family Sharing - where they can use their own AppleID account to manage App Purchases. Apps, Subscriptions and other services can be selectively shared between Family members.

Show your Parents this information - about how to set-up Family Sharing - and they will be able to remain in control without giving you their Credit Card. 🙂

Set up Family Sharing – Apple Support

Share App Store, iTunes Store and Apple Books purchases with Family Sharing – Apple Support

Family Sharing is designed to provide a good, proportionate, solution to challenges such as yours.

I hope that both you and you parents find this information to be helpful in solving the problem.

All App purchases from the Apple App Store (even “free” Apps) require you to have a valid payment method registered to your AppleID account:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Payment & Shipping

I went on there and it says none, Im still having the same issue though, and im 11 so I dont have a credit card or anything, my parents wont let me use theirs either. if thats what you meant. my mom told me to post it on here cause she didnt know what to do, and cause she didnt want to take a risk by putting her info in. i already had info on the ipad but deleted it cause i thought that would fix the problem
