shescreams33 answered Wednesday May 4 2005, 5:37 pm: no it does sound fair but its your moms choice. what did your sister do for her birthday? try and make that fun, your way and kinda like a sweet 16 party, but not really. or try and get like 3 girls to sleepover or whatever and run around your street saying 'hi' to cute guys. remember you can always compromise with some one you love/who loves you. pleze rate

nomad_lover answered Saturday April 30 2005, 3:22 pm: yes i think that is fair, but dont hate me for not totally being on your side! i am a little. ok if your mom wont let u then go to a friends house and cast it there. that way it wont be your moms decicion weather or not to let u.if your mom is like mine and will say no to that then tell her after the party. sincerely, nomad_lover [ nomad_lover's advice column | Ask nomad_lover A Question ]
S_C answered Saturday April 30 2005, 2:57 pm: If you really deserve it then no, it's not fair. Parents are and always will be like that though. If you're older sibling didn't get it, you won't get it. My sister wasn't allowed to get a cell until she was 15. I just recently finally talked my parents into getting me one (but I pay for mine, so does my older sister) I haven't had mine for more than 2 months, so it's pretty new. But it took a long time to get my parents to get me one.
Why couldn't your sisters have one? Did they ruin it for themselves? Did the oldest one ruin it for the both of you?
Unless you're like Mexican (They have a "sweet" 15, instead of a sweet 16) then Turning 16 is a REALLY big deal. I mean you don't neccisarily have to have a huge party but she can at least let you hang with your friends.
I think it's unfair, but first of all, life isn't fair. Second, have you ever thought she might be throwing you a surprise party, and 3rd maybe she has good reasons that she just doesn't want to share with you. I mean it's not completely fair, but maybe she's using a lame excuse to cover up the real reason. Ever thought of any of that?
Since you only asked for our opinion on whether this is fair or not I won't give you advice on what you can do, I'll just say my answer is half and half since there might be a side to the story that isn't being shared with you. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
CrazyBeautiful answered Saturday April 30 2005, 2:41 pm: I think if you want it bad enough, you should tell her. Also, did your sisters get 18th birthday parties? Maybe shes saving money for your 18th.. and who knows, maybe shes having you a surprise 16th!!! [ CrazyBeautiful's advice column | Ask CrazyBeautiful A Question ]
eminem answered Saturday April 30 2005, 2:24 pm: i think instead of have in a sweet 16 party, have a party at ur house and invite a bunch of ppl its not perfect but it is a party. [ eminem's advice column | Ask eminem A Question ]
SoNuLiCiOuSsS answered Saturday April 30 2005, 2:12 pm: No it's not fair... what does you having a sweet 16 party have to do with them... and even if it isn't fair... tuff... that's the way life works... your mom needs to come up with a better excuse than that...

Derfel answered Saturday April 30 2005, 1:50 pm: Short and honest answer? NO! And I don't think its fair your sister didn't get one either. I think your mom is a miserable bugger, so go out have fun and enjoy your self anyway. Screw her!

sugarmeltsinrain answered Saturday April 30 2005, 1:36 pm: I personally don't think it is fair. What the situation or reason was in the past that made it so your sister couldn't or just didn't want to have a sweet sixteen is most likely different from the situation right now. I would sit down and talk to your mom about the differences in the situations between your sisters 16th birthday and your own. To make your argument more convincing, ask your sister if she doesn't mind you having a party even though she didn't and if she says its fine then make sure your mom knows what your sister thinks. Lay all of your feelings out on the table and say things like "But mom...this will be a moment in my life that I will want to treasure for the rest of my life!" and other corny stuff lol. good luck!

Khrysty answered Saturday April 30 2005, 1:33 pm: Well I don't want to go right ahead and take your mom's side but i'm gonna have to. if you sisters didn't get one then what makes you so special? I would have been mad to though. How about u ask your mom why your sisters didn't get one. when she answers, then talk to me again. [ Khrysty's advice column | Ask Khrysty A Question ]
lacy02134 answered Saturday April 30 2005, 1:29 pm: its not really fair because your sisters maybe more untrust worthy than you are. try to explain that you wont do any thing bad.

icey0990 answered Saturday April 30 2005, 1:29 pm: no i dont think its fair. talk to your sister..maybe she'll be cool with it and would want you to have fun. If she has no problem with it, have her talk to your mom telling her its ok. This might make your mom change her mind..good luck! [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]
