I honestly think it's a gender thing your parents are pulling on you. They're worried about you. Your brother they're not worried about because he's a boy & can "fend for himself." With you though, they see you more as their little girl and a whole bunch of things can happen to you.

It's not that they don't trust you, it's people in the city they don't trust. A lot of things can happen to you & your friends & they would probably never know.

Does your brother like this band? I would see if he does & then if he agrees to go with you & your friends, maybe your parents will be more lenient. If he doesn't agree to go or you don't want him to, just let your parents know that you and your friends are going to have their cell phones and if they need you for anything to call. Or, you can text at certain times of the hour.

I hope you get to go to the show.

Hey there =]
awh I know how annoying it can be when parents to this kinda thing!
believe it or not (hate hearing it myself,but it cos they care) anyway.
the first thing you should do is not whine or complain and beg her to let you go.
you need to show her your mature so she will consider letting you go,by doing that its showing the complete opposite.
have you sat her down try talking to her about it calmly? reassure her that your capable of looking after yourselves and your not gonna be on your own,tell her youl have your cell fone on you at all times to maybe text her or call her when you get there,and when you leave to let her know your okay?
tell her youl get your brother or one of your friends older brothers sisters or maybe even an older cousin to drop you off and collect you and make sure you get there and back okay?
you know like that sort of thing,shes probably just worried.
I used to have the same sorta problems with my mom but once i started doing this and making plans and meeting her half way i got alot more freedom and trust etc =)
it might be annoying having your mom keep tracks on you like that,but its better then not being able to go or do anything.
she will let up give her time,i hope this helps and works out for you!
parents dont get that by stopping us from going to theese plays it makes us rebel more hopefully she will see that too!
good luck I hope you get to go!
much <3
