Update: If you live in America, go to Nintendo’s customer support page- they will fix your joy-cons for free, shipping and all. Please keep in mind this seems to be a temporary fix. For some the issue is fixed forever, sometimes it comes back in 15 minutes. Also, I have no idea exactly what type of isopropyl alcohol works, just use the percent I use in the video. (Even if you don’t, it shouldn’t damage your Joy-con. Thanks for your support, and have a great day! Edit: Here is the website used for Joy-Con repair as of 7/18/2022: joyconrepair.nintendo.com/

Sorry about that! That’s unfortunate I would try the straw method and canned air method again. If that doesn’t work try to explain to your parents the situation and you could show them this video and/or some articles talking about it and explain to them it’s not your fault and just tell them what’s going on. If your Switch is under a year old it’s free to replace the joycon so there’s that. Good luck!

@solonepeon5805

Popup the Joy Stick like you are about to take it out on left right up down & do a 360 popup & you will see it will fix it. The problem why it drifts is not because of dirt. It's because the metal pins in the Joy Stick are bent different due to always pushing in the stick. So you need to reverse it so you need to push up on the Joy Stick like you are taking it out. It will even out the metal pins & you will see how the drift will stop.

Sorry for the late reply but make sure you don’t use regular rubbing alcohol as this will damage your joycon. You want to use 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. I found some on amazon UK here: www.amazon.co.uk/ISOPROPYL-RUBBING-ALCOHOL-FIRST-ANTISEPTIC/dp/B01AT2JVPI I’m sure you could find a better amount and price for your needs but this was the first thing I found. If UK stores don’t carry it try looking online.
