I'm 18 and about to enter my sophomore year of college. Feel free to ask me questions about anything- I'll try to help in the best way possible! :)

Currently, I'm 16. When (if I can) I go to prom, I'll be 17.

Let me start off with saying I have VERY strict parents. To give you an idea of how strict my parents are on me, I'll give you a few rules that they have on me:
-I can't spend the night at ANYONE'S (besides family) house. I never have.
-I can't let anyone besides family ride in my car.
-I can't go to any friends' house.
-I can't ride in anyone else's car besides family.

I want to go to prom with my boyfriend this year (it's his senior prom, I'm just a junior). Nothing mischievous is going to happen between us that night. No drinking, drugs, sex, etc.

Regardless, my parents don't seem to be very trusting of he and I. I'm not sure why since we've never done anything to break their trust. NOTHING. I've been dating my boyfriend for over a year, so they've been able to get to know him.

Now you can imagine how strict they are on me. How would I ask them about going to prom? I prefer to approach my mom first and then let her talk to my dad about it. I need to find out if I can very soon so I can start dress shopping.

You should try talking to your mom first. I can see that prom is really important to you, and you really want to go. Let your mom know that. Tell her that you'll be home right after, you won't be out partying, no drinking, drugs, sex, etc. Tell her that you've never done anything before that should break her trust, you've always followed their rules.. and you just want to go out with your boyfriend for one night. Tell her that it's your boyfriends senior prom, there's never going to be another one, and it would be really special if she lets you go. Good luck. :]
