ok well for school we're having a fieldtrip to camp tamarack and its for 2 nights and 3 days and i reallyyy want to go.. plus all my friends are going. but the only problem is my parents.. they said NO. they say no to everything ! there soo overproctive. last year we had a fieldtrip to chicago and i couldnt go of course. its not because of the money, they say because they dont want me away from home sleeping some where else. i told them that its secure but they still say no. its also only 1 hour away!! chicago was like 5 hours away. i tried EVERYTHING but they don't listen. i try talking to my mom and does that work? no. i try talking to my dad but does that work? no. please help me, i'm basically desperate! they don't let me sleep ANYWHERE else but my own house! i cant sleep over friends houses, cousins houses, and friends and cousins cant sleep here. also please dont say anything like "they can come with you on the trip to chaperone" because no, they can't. my dad works and my mom has to watch my 2 younger brothers. so someone, please help me! thanks so much!!

You might even try to get a teacher to call them or send a letter home telling them that she will make you check in more often or something like that. Ask a teacher for advice. Also, is there an Aunt that would go as a chaperone? If it is only one hour away, another possibility is going just for a day or during the day, if you can get transportation back for the night. If I think of anything else, I'll add it later. Good luck! [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]
