overprotective parents


Question Posted Friday June 1 2007, 10:31 pm

13/f

The whole school is going on a field trip to this lesiure place called Holiday Hill. I was planning on wearing my new bikini but my parents won't let me. I'm not going to be the odd-one-out wearing a 1pc or tankini. I was planning on wearing it or changing into it there but is there because of this, but how can I talk to my parents about this? What do I say?

Let's go over WHY they probably don't want you to wear this bikini:


- It's probably revealing.
- You're 13.
- The whole school is going.
- Guys go to your school.
- Guys will see you & stare.
- Guys are well...guys.


I'd say your parents are correct about not letting you wear it, but if you want to be a typical teenager, pack it in your bag & don't let them know. Wear the bathing suit THEY want you to wear there & then change into your bikini once you get there. Just don't forget to change out of it when you come home [not sure how long you're going there.] But if you don't wanna do that, just follow the rules your parents have given because they give them for a reason & you're going to learn that someday & wish you should've listened. They're not talking out of their asses, trust me.

Why aren't they letting you wear your new bathing suit? Are they worried you'll lose it? Reassure them that it WON'T be getting taken off- except for maybe changing into your clothes at the end of they day.


Don't get mad, don't scream that they're ruining your life. They may just be worried that a bikini is too skimpy for a class trip - think like a parent for a second.


Ask them nicely if you can wear a bikini instead- your mom, especially, will understand about wanting to get an even tan (use sunscreen though!) and feeling confident in a swimsuit.


good luck, and have fun regardless of what you're wearing!

i know how you feel. parents just tell you that their trying to protect but idk bout that. anyway go on the field trip and change there. then change back. they'll never know. you might not like lieing but if you dont want to be the only one then i sugest changing. but first ask your parents why they feel this way.
