I Spanish I know it is correct to say "para ti". Is it correct to say "para tu" or "por tu"? Why or why not?

No, no way.
para ti is correct
but you cannot say para tú.
Por tú can be used but only in very specific cases.
I do it for your own good = lo hago por tu propio bien

Hello Edgar.
The correct frase is: Para ti (for you)
"Para tu" is like to say in English FOR YOUR
"Por Tu" no have translation in english, but you can use it to make a frase: POR TU VIDA (for your life) for example.
Write me, if you want, i can help you to learn spanish.

It doesn't sound right if you say "Para tu." Plus the word "tu" is not in its indirect object form.

para tú or por tú is NEVER correct...just translate it into english.
You cannot say in english : i do that for HE you say "for HIM"...the same in Spanish.
Anyway it is very easy because in spanish the only pronouns that change are "mi" (me) or "ti" (you)...for the rest there is no difference between the accusative or dative and the subject pronoun...
yo...para mi---- I...for me
tú... para ti---. you...for you
él...para él---- he...for him
ella...para ella----she...for her
nosotros...para nosotros---we...for us
vosotros...para vosotros---you...for you
ellos/ellas...para ellos/ellas...they...for them.
So as you can see in spanish there are just two exceptions: mi and ti the rest are the same for both.

Para ti, or Por ti, there's no other way para ti means for you like giving her /him something and por ti means something like for you i would/do etc....

No, please don't say "para tu" -- it just doesn't sound right. You would use "por tu" sparingly for such sentences like: POR TU AMOR, YO ME MORIRIA...
