Okay, just to start things off, in the youth group I am in, there is absolutely NO DATING allowed. [and don't worry, it makes sense]
Well, i was talking on AIM last night to one of really good friends and his cousin in a chat room. They invited me to a Flyleaf concert at the end of the month, just out of the blue. I don't know, it just would kind of seem awkward...But I reallllllly wanna go because they are both my friends and such. I think that some of the girls in our youth group might be jealous [they are good looking].
and, I think my mom will be a little freaked out if I said, "Hey, can I go with two 16-17 year old guys to a flyleaf concert?"
My mom doesn't know either of them, but she knows that I can trust them and all.

Anyway, to me it doesn't really sound like a serious downright date or whatever. Just hanging out and going to a concert with some of your guy friends. But in the end, it is up to your parents, unfortunately. [ more_than_a_feeling's advice column | Ask more_than_a_feeling A Question ]
sportychick22 answered Tuesday July 11 2006, 10:04 pm: Is it possible that you could bring a female friend with you to the concert? Because if you can you could ask your mom about the concert and maybe she'll feel more comfortable about you being there with her. Or you could leave out the fact that you're also going to be there with two older boys, but I wouldn't recommend that because I don't usually lie and I wouldn't want you to do that either. I hope I helped you. I also hope you are able to go to the concert too. [ sportychick22's advice column | Ask sportychick22 A Question ]
theoriginalpinkkiss answered Tuesday July 11 2006, 12:24 pm: Okay, first do you have any friends like either your age or preferably someone a little older maybe from school or youth group, that could go with you?
Your mom would probably be ALOT more comfortable with you going if you do invite someone else.
Also, if you want to go you should ask your mom now or at least in the next few days.
Make sure to tell her you will call once while you are there and once when you are leaving, etc. And actually do it. It will help her feel good about knowing where you are, who you are with, and when the concert is over.
Then if she does say yes make sure you don't do anything to get grounded or such from now until then.
xxsima answered Tuesday July 11 2006, 12:05 pm: I think that someone besides the 2 guys should come with you. I know, it might seem a little immature, but you have to get to know his cousin as well as you know the guy in your youth group.
You have to tell your Mom sometime. You can't tell her 2 days before the concert. Tell her that you will be very responsible. If she still gets a little freaked, try to negotiate.
I've been to plenty of concerts. I've been to a FOB concert that had FFTL, Hawthorne Heights, and AAR performing. It was really overwhelming. It's not like you're going to a Jessica Simpson concert, you know? There's going to be lots of college kids there, and I'm pretty sure that there's going to be mosh pits. I almost got caught in a mosh pit, it looked really cool at first, but some guy kicked me in the nose and spilled beer on me.
I think that you should go with someone else from your youth group besides the 2 guys like someone a bit older that your Mom knows and trusts. This might be not what you wanted to hear, but you're only 13. Trust can be broken easily. I would understand if you were 14 or 15, but you just turned into a teenager.
