im so mad.. my parents wont let me go to sleepovers or even have my own sleepovers because they dont want me to get hurt, or get some other kids hurt and get sued or something. it sucks because like everyone else gets to have them and that sort of thing doesnt happen often. i know well.. it DOES happen but I'd rather take that chance and enjoy all the fun. my parents grew up in africa, where they only had sleepovers after traveling far from their homes. so my mom (mostly her) thinks that we cant really have them either with our friends, and we should sleep in our own beds. ugh. the same with going to the beach. alot of my friends get to go with their friends to the beach, new york city, etc but my parents like.. probably wouldnt let me bring a friend along. ughhh this sucks.. what are the odds of us getting hurt? its possible ya, but... well.. ya! its frusterating!!!

have you ever asked them what exactly do they think is going to happen that would lead to someone getting hurt...i mean at most sleep overs its usually a few girls sitting around talking,watching movies,and eating pizza or some other snack and just bonding.....nothing really dangerous about that....What makes them think that the home is such a disaster zone..usually accidents happen from careless acts but youll more then like just be sitting around talking and what not...what do they think the cealing is just going to collapse on someone..its harmless and it not like they wont be home...really its a good way to bond and bring people togeather.Ask them if maybe they could give you just a fair trial run and if something goes terribly wrong then youll never bring it up again...out of all the places youve been to a sleep over is one last places that your at risk of getting hurt

show alot of responsibility. be persuasive by giving good reason and dont whine about it. And give some factual info about how its not dangerous to do sleepovers instead of a " but everyones doing it"!! kk, <3 you

Yeah, that's really frusterating and I have a friend who's parents are just like that. You need to have a sit down with your parents and tell them that the longer they try to hold on to you, the more you will pull away. ASk them how they are gonna expect you to go to college and live your own life if you don't start going out with your friends to the beach or having sleepovers while you are young. You know they are just looking out for you, but yeah, you're growing up and you deserve to hang out with your friends and find out what your boundaries are and learn to be independant. So just talk to them and make your point very clear that they don't have to complete let go of you, but just let you have a little freedom.
hope i helped
