Question Posted Saturday February 25 2006, 3:11 pm
Okay. Tonight is obviously MARDI GRAS! & I live in the STL area which means ITS GONNA BE CRAZY down there. Im only 15 but my boyfriend is 18 and i really wanna go. He's going and obviously i wanna be there so he doesnt look to much. But how am i supposed to go? My mom is kinda strict and im thinking i should tell her because if I lie and tell her were goin other places and we get caught ill be in big trouble plus she'll want me home around 12:30. So should I just tell her? & Tell her ill call every 1-2 hours to check in. None of the people Im going with will have been drinking or will be drinking. That Im the only girl going with them and they wont let me out of their site. & if its a problem with Trust. Ive never gaven her a reason not to trust me neither has my boyfriend. So if she still doesnt trust us how is she ever going to if she doesnt give us a chance to prove that we can be trusted... or should I just lie to her?
WHAT SHALL I DO!?
Please get back to me by 4 30. Mideastern? --about 2 hours from the time this is submitted.
