MEXICO!
Okay, so I havent been on vacation in awhile and last night at a family christmas party, my Uncle told everyone he's inviting all of us to go to MEXICO for his 50th birthday :] I got really excited, but we'd be going March 12-18 which is during school. My spring break isnt until the end of April so my Mom said no. But I really, reallly want to go! How do I convince her we should go? She seems set in her decision.

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
you can ask your teachers for work that you can do over your vacation but think about it maybe she does not want you to go because maybe your grades aren't where they are suppose to be.

The other advice you got was wonderful, but also I think you should consider whether there is another reason your mother would not want you to go to Mexico with your uncle during the school year. Are your grades in the toilet? Could she possibly think that you haven't been mature or responsible enough? Is there something about that uncle possibly that she could think may lead to an unhealthy situation? Would he, perhaps, allow you to do things she would not (like drinking)? If you suspect there is something other than missing school which keeps your Mom from agreeing to the trip, ask Mom about it and address the real problem.
I really like the other advice you received as well!

Talk to your teachers first. Ask them about what you would miss.
When I went to new york for a week durring school, They gave me my homework.
Tell your mom to talk to your teachers about how you can go in for extra help, and do your homework on the plane or something.
Hope I helped

First talk to your counselor. I know that some schools have educational vacations, like when you miss school, you can say your going for educational purposes. Then, those days won`t count against you. I know that`s what happened whenever I went to England for two weeks. They knew I was going there on a vacation, but they gave me an educational thing, I just had to fill out what landmarks I`m going to be seeing, and how it would educate me. =]
Explain that you`ll only miss five days of school & you`ll go straight back on March 19th. Say you`ll go to school everyday & you won`t have any more absences. Tell her it`ll mean the world to you if you could go, and help around the house a bit. Take some weight off of your moms shoulders and just help her out, suck up. :D
