My parents won't let me get a paid membership, and i was wondering if there was any way to get a free membership. I really want to get chess mentor and stuff so I could do better in tournaments. My lessons are free and aren't high quality, since it's in a class.
Are you in a position to do some part-time work and earn the money to purchase the membership on your own? I'm not sure how old you are, but most adults will appreciate your sincerity if you ask for work and tell them you are saving money for a Chess.com membership.
When I was younger and wanted a car, gas, trendy clothes, and other cool stuff... I mowed grass, cleaned gutters, washed cars, worked as a house and pet sitter, and I was ahead financially than most of the kids my age.
Maybe try to negotiate with your parents. Tell them how important a Chess.com membership is for you; offer to go in half if they will help you; ask of they will help if you bring home some good grades or do an exceptional job on a school project; offer to help around the house or yard.
There's not much that is free in this world, but a lot of things are available if you put in the time and effort.
save up with your pocket money for one if you want it that much save up for it
