Okay So there is this kings island trip next week, for all the people in academics. My bff trent is in it & so am I . SO we were both going to go. Our academic coach said we could bring 1 friend, so I picked my other bff brooke. My mom said I could go. Filled out my permision sheet and that was that. about an hour later Brooke called & said she couldn't go, (family thing) but that was okay. Trent was still going, and I was still excited! BUT when I broke that news to my mom she said i couldn't go, because brooke wasn't going. AND she didn't want me to be with a guy, aka trent the entire time. IT"S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UNFAIR> OMG ugh. it makes me soooooooo MAD!!! HELP what do i do to change her mind?

I could understand if it was just a trip away with a bunch of kids hanging out with billions of opportunities to have sex and get wasted, but this is a school function. This is a trip for an academic group!
It's not your fault that your friend can't make it, so you shouldn't be punished for it.
Tell her these things, make sure she knows that you're not going there to hook up with Trent. If those were your intentions, you wouldn't have invited Brooke in the first place.
If all else fails, ask your coach to offer your mom a conference. Maybe your coach can help reassure her that nothing is going to happen just because Trent is there.
