Ok I would really love to go to the warped tour this summer. But we are going on vacation when the tour is coming to where I live. But they are going to be in Orlando when we are there on vacation. I asked if I could go when we were down there and my parents said no becuase it is our famliy vacation. Now we go to orlando every year and do the same thing when we are there. I dont see why We cant take one day and my sister and I can go to the warped tour. How do I convice my parents to let me go?
anyways..tell them that you guys go every year and do the same thing and that this Warped Tour is supposed to be one of the best! which it is supposed to be one of the best so tell them that! let them know that youll be safe and wont make stupid dessions and stay away from the front (where the pits are) stuff like that. tell them that the concerts really a once in a life time thing and that its only for one day and youll spend the rest of the vaccation together! just keep letting them know all of that and be sure to tell them that its supposed to be the best one and its a once in a life time thing! i hope you can go its amazing! good luck and if you go have fun! i kno you will!! :o] but be carfull!!

1. Logic - intellectually debate it (which means no yelling or getting angry), point out pro's and con's, and give them a good argument on why you should be allowed to go. It's one day, they've got plenty of time to prepare for it, et cetera.
2. Tell them my story. I've always gone on family vacations with my family (until the last few years, since I am working full time and all that). However, I cannot say that I have a single even that I can look back upon and say that it was just a great event - I wasn't bored, I wasn't held back, I was free, and I just had an awesome time. It's just never happened, and now I'm at the point where I can't afford to make it happen, and by the time I can, it won't be an option. I want to be able to grow old and look back on my life and not regret not doing enough or not having enough fun, and so far, I haven't been able to fulfill that.
Keep in mind, however, they are your parents, and whether you agree with them or not, you should respect them. They (ideally) want only what is best for you. I, myself, have no idea what this tour is. They may be saying no because they think it is something that will harm you. I don't know. But whatever their reason is, I do believe they should be ready and willing to explain it to you - how else are you going to learn. So if they say no, and that's that, say to them (in your own words, or not - mine sound kinda corny, even though I mean them), "Your answer is no, and I accept that, and I am not asking this question to debate it any further, but to learn from you and your wisdom. What is the reasoning behind your decision?" [ mushoku's advice column | Ask mushoku A Question ]

Explain to them that it is only going to be for (however many hours) and this is only one summer...you go there every year! Just be calm and reasonable. If this doesn't work, write me back.
