How To Convince My Parents To Let Me Go On A Road Trip

How can you convince your parents to let you go on a trip?

Depending on your age and with whom you intend to go. Good luck chuck! Don’t lie tho. Seriously!! I don’t know your parents but I’m assuming from your question that you are expecting a no or havealready received a no. Most parents are not trying to be mean. They love you beyond anything you will understand until you have your own children. They want what’s best. They want to protect you. I’m also assuming that if you need their permission you are a minor. They are worried. Plain and simple. If anything ever happened to you, a part of them would be lost or broken forever. There’s plenty of time for road trips. Try not to grow up too fast. You’ve got the rest of your life to be an adult. Secret… it’s not as glamorous as it looks.

We like about 5 hours away from Myrtle Beach and were going to go up there. It would be me, her, 2 other girls and four other guys. None of us our dating we don't see each other that way at all!

How To Convince My Parents To Let Me Road Trip?

Since I am not familiar with distances in CA, I looked it up. There's 186 miles between Fresno and San Francisco. That's quite a day trip.

Have you ever driven that long of a distance before? How reliable is your car? How experienced a driver are you or your friends?

What exactly are your parents concerned about?
I would be concerned as well because it's too long of a trip to do in one day. Consider staying somewhere overnight. However, hotel accommodations could be tricky due to your ages.

I don't condone disobeying parental restrictions. I think you need to seriously discuss this with your parents and get from them the reasons exactly why they are saying "no". Parents don't say "no" because they feel like it. I'm sure they have some very good reasons. They know you and your friends better than any of us ever could here on Yahoo.

I took the train from LA to San Francisco many years ago. It was a wonderful trip. Perhaps when you start your college life, you could arrange a train trip to San Francisco over a long weekend with other friends who would enjoy the trip.

Convince parents to let me go on a roadtrip?

Have your parents met these friends? Depending what your 'rents are like, it helps to have the friends introduce themselves and reassure them that they are responsible, mature and will look after you - too be honest, parents can seem like they don't want you to have fun but they just want you to be safe.
What worked for me
-always saying that I would be safe
-meeting the friends
-giving every possible contact number to call (they never had to)
-tell them its a great way to earn their trust

Almost 99% fool proof, if it ever failed I would say there was a parent there and have someone put on a voice to call them haha.
Good luck! Hope you have a sweet new years!

How to convince my parents to let me go on a road trip with friends?

Of course we can't really ensure she'll let you go, but a couple tips; have your entire trip planned in detail so she knows you've completely thought this over well, tell her that one of your friends alerted their parent on the car situation, so if something were to happen to the car help would come right away. As for the lack of adult.. Just try to persuade her that you can always be in communication with them (cellphone??) so that if anything happened or if you need to be reached, she can get in contact with you right away. Best reasoning I can think of right now haha.

Convince my parents to let me bring my dog on our road trip?

Taking a pet on a road trip is a big responsibility. It's not so much whether he's had his shots or loves the car. There's other things to consider.
Has your dog traveled before?
Is your dog friendly, obedience trained, house broken?
Do you have room for his bed, food and water, toys, plastic bags for poop, extra sheets to cover the motel furniture from his hair, etc.
You'll also need a copy of his vaccination record, and if going out of state possibly a health travel voucher.
Who's going to take him out for walks at night?
How is he with strange noises? Does he bark?
It's summer, where will your dog stay while you're in a restaurant eating, shopping? You can't leave him in the car and the motel won't allow you to leave the dog in your room.
I'm not saying it can't be done but maybe those are some of the things your parents are concerned about or just don't want the added responsibility.
Think about the questions and discuss them with your parents.
Not every trip is dog friendly, maybe this isn't the trip for your buddy.

How can I convince my parents to let me go on a solitary road trip?

I am guessing that you are inspired by the young European travelers who just take off to explore the world after or during their studies.Well good for you because even though many people would like to give it a try, they are weighed down by family circumstances, lack of funds, or due to lack of belief in self. And mind you you need oodles of self confidence and street smartness if you want to traverse our country.                                                                                       You say that you don't have prior experience in travelling, so i wouldn't blame your parents if they freak out on hearing your plans, but if you really need to convince them you have to be prepared. But first of all let me ask you how are you going to fund your trip?You are not going to ask your parents for money are you?Or do you have money saved up? If you do have some money, maybe you can go on a small trip by yourselves, you know not too far, a place nearby which maybe you have always wanted to visit. Start small and see whether you enjoy your own company. You will learn a lot from these trips (short ones) and i am hoping that your family will allow you to go for a 2 day trip. But as i said before before planning think about the financials. If its a soul searching trip you wouldn't want to do it with your father's money.

How can I convince my parents to let me go on a trip to morocco?

Do the research. It's a hard sell, especially in today's world. (I'm almost 30 and my parents are uneasy about me taking a trip to Jordan). But the thing is, the media portrayal is just one side of it. While it is important to be careful, it's also important to not give in to fear and learn about the world. I would highly suggest going on a guided tour - this will help with safety, you'll be with other travelers, and have a guide with you (which will also help with language barriers, and you'll learn a lot more about the country!). My company, Stride Travel, features a large variety of tour companies, in various price ranges and styles. Here's a list of the tour companies that go to Morocco. Hope this helps! :)

How to convince parents to let me go on a road trip with my boyfriend?

You could just honestly say, what do I have to do to convince you to allow me to do this ? Maybe they have something in mind.

You should also demonstrate how responsible you are- showing up to work on time (or school, or getting a job or going to school if you're not doing anything), doing chores around the house, being helpful and respectful to your parents, showing how mature you and your boyf are together, etc. That's what I had to do to get my parents to let me date my high school boyfriend and obviously it worked.

Another thing I would say is...you're old enough to make your own decisions. You've already lived outside of their house. Just go. If you come back and they won't let you stay with them anymore, then accept those consequences and find someplace to live. In fact, if you talk to them about the fact that the trip is non-negotiable and you're planning to go anyway and if they don't like it you'll move out (I mean say this in a more mature fashion than the way I've put it) then they might just decide that the trip is the lesser of two evils.

My mom did something similar to this- I went to college but hated the university I chose so I came back and lived with her for a few months while I took classes at a community college and prepared to transfer. While I was at college, I had stayed out til 5am, but when I moved back in my mother gave me a curfew of MIDNIGHT. Ridiculous. I ended up sneaking out of the house, leaving a note for her in a poorly lit area and going out regardless. I didn't even drink because I wasn't 21 yet- I was such a good kid but it was like she just took my good behavior for granted and never allowed me any freedom for myself. Frustrating situation ! She eventually got over it the more she saw me as an adult, and also because I moved out !!!! (Which is something you might consider doing since both sets of parents are keeping you two on such a short, short leash !)

Good luck and have a fun time on your trip !!!
