ok i am a freshman, and september 17 is my homecoming dance. well all of my friends are always talking about their really pretty dresses and then my om was like oh u can stay at home with mom. i dont know if she was serious or not. and even if she wasnt she would prolly make me go in a skirt that i already and wore to school and stuff like that bcuz she is like a really sporty mom and she doesnt like getting dressed up all the time, so how do i ask her like if i can go, and if i can get a dress n' stuff like that?

Jennifer790 answered Sunday August 22 2004, 3:50 pm: okay first off u need to pull her aside and say hey mom homcoming is coming up and i was wondering if i could go? if she says no make sure she gives u the reason why. For your outfit... ask her to take u to the mall and look around and if she cant ask one of ur friends... or make ur own outfit and be creative =-) [ Jennifer790's advice column | Ask Jennifer790 A Question ]
mysticpixie05 answered Sunday August 22 2004, 3:17 pm: just tell her its your first dance of the year and you really wanna go. and as fr the dress situation tell her its a really casual and dressy dance. and its your dance and not hers so you want to look nice with a really pretty dress. good luck. hope that helps a little.

EmbracedxRain answered Sunday August 22 2004, 1:15 pm: Just explain to her how important to you it is. After all it is your first high school dance. And if money is an issue for buying the dress and what not, tell her you'll work for it with chores, or babysit, or something. I think she should understand. Hope it helps =) *amber* [ EmbracedxRain's advice column | Ask EmbracedxRain A Question ]

icey0990 answered Sunday August 22 2004, 12:39 pm: hey..have a daughter to mom talk and tell her how much you really want to go. If your mom says she doesnt want you going because she cant afford a nice dress ..then offer to babysit the neighbors kids or something to make money. She`ll appreciate your responsibility and hardwork.
If trust is the reason why she wants you home..tell her these are your highschool memories and you dont want to miss out..promise you`ll be safe.
Hope u convince her! :)
