in our state we have to be 16 to get your permit..and im 16 and i didnt get it yet. because my parents think 16 is too young and my sister wreck her car in 3 hours of having her liscense at 18 and my other sister hit the neighbors car 3 days after at 18..so now they dont trust me even more..and i know about 7 people who are 16 and have their permits and my friend just turned 16 yesterday and got her permit. and going out driving today..and its annoying me because everyone always asks why i dont have my permit or why i cant drive till 18..and they cant understand that every parent has different rules.

All you have to say is "My parents are really strict when it comes to driving and getting my permit". Even if you want to, mention how your sisters messed up - "Well, I probably would be able to get it if both my sisters didn't get into accidents and my parents think I'll do it too!" They can't say anything to that. I didn't get my permit until I was 17 and then didn't get my license until 18. The permit test is hard too! Spend time studying the book until you're allowed. Just remember you aren't the only one who has to obey parents' strict rules about driving. [ just_ask_me's advice column | Ask just_ask_me A Question ]
