I agree with Frankie, they're usually flimsy and uncomfortable. I'd wait until you can get the real deal, basic piercings like a ear piercing cost around 20-50 dollars which can easily be spent on Xmas/bday money. And simply tell your parents that it's not permanent, and if you decide not to have a piercing anymore it can heal up. Keep in mind, though, that helix piercings can be very painful since it's cartilage. But don't let that discourage you! it's well worth it ♥
