Question Posted Saturday December 31 2005, 12:38 pm
I am very angry at my parent's descision. I asked them if I could go to a New Year's Party with a few close friends at her house. I told them that there would be no drinking, no drugs, the parents would be present at the party the whole time, and we wouldn't leave the house. And if they wanted, I could sleep over at her house so that they would not have to leave the house at midnight to come and get me. They said no. I respected their descision, but I asked for a reason. They will not give me a reason. I just don't understand. I am a straight A student, I attend the top highschool in the state, I am very very responsible, I have never lied to them, I have never done anything to loose their trust in me, I have finished all my homework for the Christmas Break a weeks ago so I could go to this. I really want to go to this party, but I don't get why they won't let me go. I have tried asking but everytime I go and ask they get up and walk away. I understand that they just want me to be safe on New Years but they would drive me to the party during the daylight and pick me up during the daylight, it is not as if they were picking me up at night. Should I respect their descision or do you think that I should not give up on my opinion to be allowd to go to the party? Does anybody see why they wouldn't let me go?
Thanks - Sorry if it is long.
