My 'rents won't let me take a date to the dance

 
 
I just started high school and everyone is starting to talk about Homecoming. My little sister is obsessed with the idea of me having a date to a dance, so she asked my parents if they would let me go to Homecoming with a boy. They said absolutely not. What if a guy asks me and I have to say no just because of my parents? Also, if my school didn't think 9th graders were old enough to date they wouldn't let us go, right? Please help!
 
It’s a real bummer when your parents nix something you really want to do, but unfortunately for you girl, you’ve gotta listen to them. Other girls your age might be allowed to bring boys to the dance, but if your parents say no, you’ll have to say no to a boy who asks you.
 
But don’t assume that your parents wont change their minds! Sit them down one night and nicely ask why they won’t let you go with a date. They may have serious concerns, so try to reach a compromise with them. Maybe they’ll let you go to the dance with a boy if they get to meet him first and if you’ll be home at a reasonable time. If they still say no, don’t whine or be dramatic about it. You have to be mature if you want them to eventually think you’re old enough for a Homecoming date.
 
If you end up at the dance dateless, don’t let it ruin your night. Wear a great dress and go with some of your other besties who don’t have dates. Dance the night away and chat up some of the boys at the dance who didn’t bring dates. Just because your parents said you couldn’t go with a boy doesn’t mean you can’t talk to guys there. Good luck on having a fab Homecoming babe!

Well, the situation is that There is a party on Saturday... Now, my twin sis, one of my best friends and I play volleyball... There is a volleyball tournament on the same day and we might be a little late or even super late... My mom wont let me leave because we made a commitment which I know is right, but it is just a tournament, right? On top of that, like every1 in my class is going and it sounds super fun... What do I do?




Hey girl,

Just be fashionably late to the party! It really won't be as much of an issue as you think Smile You'll make an entrance and I'm sure you'll still get to enjoy the party!

MOD! MOD! My parents says I can't have a bf or anything. they think i will get pregnant or something. I'm only in 6th grade! I am responsible but they dont think so. Introducing him to my parents wont help because my parents tend to overreact. my mom says she would leave me and kick me out of the house. WHAT SHOULD I DO???




Try talking to her one-on-one about how you feel regarding dating and ask her about her feelings. Address her issues and ask if there is any way you guys can compromise.

If your parents wont let you there isnt much you can do. My parents were against me having a bf but they gave in and now I am amazed by how much they let me do. You little sister is probably obsessed with you having a date because she thinks about having one, just try not to think about how she ruined things for you.

MOD MOD MOD! My parents wont let me go on dates until after *college*! i mean, isn't that wayyy too late? they say that I have to keep up with my studying and schoolwork, and I don't *need* a BF. (That's what they said to my older sis i think) I know that dating isn't something stupid you do so casually. I've gotten pretty much straight A's my whole life. I see myself as a responsible girl, and I wouldn't do something with a guy that I'd end up regretting later. (you know what I mean, right? :-/) I think they just don't trust people very easily, but idk. What should I do? Thanks!!!!!

 

Hey girly, this a toughie. If you find a guy you like, introduce him to your parents, so they can see that you've chosen a nice responsible guy. That way they'll see they can trust both you and this guy. Even introduce your parents to his, so everyone will know everyone. Hopefully this helps ya girl!!!!!!!! Smile Smile
