how do i convince my mom to let me go to concert
Help me persuade my mom to let me go to this concert tomorrow.
She knows im paying for it myself and I have rides there and back. Would it help to tell her the tickets were already bought from a friend, or will that make it worse?
Shes mad at me for going to the mall on friday,

Hon, I really have no idea what the situation is here so it's hard to answer. I don't know your age for one thing. I don't know if your parents are generally over protective and don't allow you any of the usual freedoms most teens have, I don't know if you have recently, or repeatedly done some things that broke their trust of you and thats why you aren't allowed to go anywhere. I don't know if there are rules that are not being followed, lack of communication, or whatever.
If mom is mad that you went to the mall, and I see going to the mall as an ordinary teen event, there must be some reason, something you aren't telling us. Have you ever taken off without moms knowledge and she worried for your welfare because she didn't hear from you. Just a call to say, Hey mom, I am at the mall with Julie would be enough to settle her fears for you. Have you shirked your chores and taken off for the mall intending to do them later and never did them, or was the rule, chores and homework before taking off with friends? And you've broken that rule? Are you the oldest or an only child and the parents are new at being the parents of a teen and they are not transitioning well into allowing you some of the normal freedoms teens have in which they begin to learn how to express themselves, develop their own likes and hobbies, friends, activities, which may differ from those of mom or dad but not be anything bad? I could go on and on about what could possibly be reasons for mom not wanting you to go to a concert. And whatever her reasons are, whether her gettingover fears of letting you loose into the world, or rebuilding lost trust with you, etc...those things all take time to work on through, certainly not something that can happen in a day so you can go to the concert. Perhaps I might have suggestions if I knew more detail of whats been going on leading up to this.
