And tell her that your friends are good drivers and have never been in any wrekcs or anything like that(if thats whats shes worried about) [ texangirl01's advice column | Ask texangirl01 A Question ]

Since your friends are just 16, 17, and 18, they havent been driving very long and I can understand your moms deal. build up your moms trust & let her get to know your friends better!

Explain to your mom your reasoning for wanting to ride around with your friends - a lot of parents will respond to a logical chat.
Hope I helped!

Or explain to her that you guys are going to be very careful and not have alot of distractions so its safter. otherwise, get your mom to take you where everybody else is going!

xOaminemOx answered Tuesday July 27 2004, 4:22 pm: Hey. I'm 15 too. I'm not allowed to ride around with my friends in their cars either. But heres the thing. Drivers that are 16-18 havent had much experience at driving. Even if your friends are trustworthy people who don't get into trouble much, your mom is just trying to protect you. I know plenty of good people who have gotten into car accidents, and actually a girl I knew from school was in an accident with her brother in January, and died as a result of injuries. They were good kids and something bad still happened to them. I suggest that you dont ride around with your friends if your mom doesnt know, because if anything ever happened, your parents wouldnt know where to find you. Just give it some time. Eventually you will be free to do what you want to do. Hope I helped!

But yu've got to get yur mom to trust you/your friendz. have your friendz over alot and after time your mom will realize that they arent just a bunch of kids who dont care..and den she'll let you go. while yur doing this dont tell your friendz the reason why. just meet them there and get dropped off or just make up somethyn. hope i helped :) [ LaDiixDeE4Ya's advice column | Ask LaDiixDeE4Ya A Question ]
