BIOGRAPHY:
My name is Carrie, and I just recently turned 25. I've been told that I give excellent advice, so I created this column last year with the intention of helping as many people as possible. Although I do believe I succeeded, I ultimately turned my back on this column when I discovered just how cruel and thankless some people can be. Almost one year later a lot has changed. I've gained a whole new perspective on life and the world around me. I'm much more positive, sympathetic, and willing to listen when people truly need help. So now I've decided to come back and focus my attention on the individuals who are truly in need of advice.
ADVICE:
I'm very genuine when it comes to giving advice. I try to be sympathetic to the person asking the question, but I don't ever sugar coat things. I've learned quickly that many people who ask for help don't really want advice - they want someone who will say what they want to hear. Sorry, but you're not going to get that with me. I'm not here to make friends (if a friendship happens though, yay for me!). You'll always get the truth from me whether you like it or not. While the truth may sting just a bit to begin with, it will absolutely set you free in the long run. If you want to be lied to, please seek advice from somebody else.
CONTACT INFO:
If you like my advice and have additional questions for me, click on the link right underneath this profile that says "Ask Me A Question." If you leave your follow-up question for me in my feedback, I have no way of replying to it. Please use the link. Also, I have an e-mail address where people can get in touch with me if they need to. Feel free to use it.
IMPORTANT:
This may be a hobby in some people's eyes, but I don't like it when people waste my time regardless of whatever it is I'm doing, which in this case, is providing a free service out of the kindness of my heart. So please don't ask me stupid questions, and please make an effort to type sensibly so that I can read and understand your question. I know there are a lot of young people on this site, but that's no excuse to type like you're brain dead. Proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation is highly appreciated with me. The more intelligent your question is, the more intelligent of a response you'll get from me.
ABOUT ME:
Here are some facts about me. I like pop music (especially Madonna). I like horror movies (especially Scream). I like to chat (on MSN). I love to write (poetry, screenplays, short stories). I love shopping (Best Buy). I'm a gamer (I'm better than a guy - Xbox 360 all the way). I have a MySpace (Click "Ask Carrie" for the link). I love my doggies (I have 2). I'm not a bitch (...well, sometimes). I love to laugh (and sometimes I pee a little when I do). It happens.

15/f + boyfriend 17/m -
okay well him and his parents (mom and dad) are going to ocean city the 15th-22nd and they invited me. they're paying for everything. the thing is my dad said it was okay, but mom didn't. i need sooo much help to convince her it's okay. i wrote her a letter stating we wouldn't be sleeping together/all the requirements! i need so much help please. i want to go so unbeliveably badly.
any advice?! (link)

You getting to go depends on your behavior before this offer was made. Hopefully you've been a good daughter and have been making good grades in school. Hopefully you haven't been giving your parents too much trouble and have been helping them out whenever they need it. If this is true, then you have something to work with. If it isn't true, you're going to have a much harder time trying to convince your mom and should count on not going.
If you have been good, simply talk to your mom and tell her that you would like to discuss things with her like a mature adult. Tell her that you understand her worries then remind her that you guys won't be sleeping together and will have his parental supervision the entire time. Tell her that you've worked hard to do well in school and that you plan on working even harder next year. In short, point out how responsible and how mature you are.
There's a chance she'll still say no, but she's more likely to say yes when you remind her of how mature you are and how responsible you can be. Don't whine (even if she says no!). She might be testing your reaction to see if you'll be as grown up as you say you are. Depending on your reaction, she could change her mind, so be careful. If she says no, ask her what you can do to get her to change her mind, and ask her why she's saying no. There could be one thing in particular that she doesn't like about the situation that you could change.
Finally, don't view this as you trying to get permission from an authority figure. View this as you trying to sell something and not taking no for an answer. It's very easy to get what you want if you know how to do it. Everyone has a price, and there's something you can do to get her to say yes. The trouble is finding out what that something is. Good luck finding it, and don't take no for an answer. You don't have to keep bugging her by asking her repeatedly, but you still have time to change her attitude about the situation by changing your attitude to her reaction. Good luck! :)
