Parents Wont Let Me Go To Prom .

Parents won't let me go to prom?

Well more like my mom. I asked her a couple days ago and she said no. She claims that it's "secular" and that since my dad and her didn't go to their proms she doesn't see why I need to.
I really don't think she gets it though, I was home schooled until 8th grade. If I was home schooled into high school I wouldn't have even had a chance to go to prom. My mom made us so isolated when we(my brothers and I) were home schooled. We only did a few things at church and my brothers did boy scouts. We never ever had the chance to do things kids would do at school. Going to an online school I at least have a chance even though it's 2 hours away. I'll probably never ever get the chance to wear a dress like the ones they do in prom. My mom's excuse was that I'll probably be in someone's wedding someday and get to wear a dress then and I'll be in my own wedding. I have guy friends, so it wouldn't be like I would be going dateless. I haven't asked my dad yet because I'm afraid that he will say no too. I offered to pay for the dress and the way to get down there. Like if we needed a motel room and the gas for the car. Is there anything I can do?

Parents won't let me go to prom...?

I'm an ordinary teen girl and my parents won't let me go to prom. Being muslim, they think I will get off with a guy if I go and they said "In our religion, teenage girls don't go to prom". I have tried telling them that if I went I would have my mobile on at all times, would stay with my girl friends all night, phone to say when I'd be home etc but they're not having any of it. Everyone else is going. What do I do?

HELP! My parents wont let me go to prom!?

Its not fair! Im asian and my parents are being too overprotective. I already bought my ticket and my friend is going with me. But my parents dont want me to go to prom. They think Im still too young and I cant believe they dont even trust me yet! Even though I was the only daughter in my family, I did all the cooking and cleaning and to say, Im a really good girl. Its not fair for them to not let me go to prom. Is there anyway to convince them to let me go to prom?? Im a junior btw.

Parents won't let me go to prom with a date! What do I do?

I feel your pain. I'm an Indian girl who had a tough time with my parents throughout high school. They were pretty conservative too, but I just had to force myself to break free from their hold. You're never going to have the life you want unless you stand up to them and start doing what makes you happy. I know I know, it's really hard with Indian parents, but you've got to try.

Like you said, prom is once in a lifetime. Do you really want to pass up the chance to do something amazing just because your parents object? Hell no! If you gotta lie to them, then go for it. Do what you gotta do. Tell them you're going with girl friends, then just meet up with him at prom or don't let your parents catch you going with him. Your date probably won't understand the whole situation (lol my boyfriends never did) especially if he's your average American boy, but just try to explain it all to him so he isn't so confused.

Apart from prom, you need to work on getting some more freedom. For me, I started by compromising with my parents. Like I told them if they let me hang out with my guy friends, I would call them every hour I was out. Or I asked my parents if they could come over the house, they could get to know them and feel more comfortable with it. That way I was free to go out with them since my parents had already got to know them. You should also tell them that if they don't let you have more freedom, you're going to do things behind their back and you don't want to have to lie to them. Make sure to explain to them that you're a good kid and you don't do any bad things, and you just want to be a normal teenager. Ask for them to trust you because you haven't done anything to wrong them so far (lol or at least I hope you haven't). Have a serious sit down talk with them and explain this all, so that they'll see you're mature and trustworthy and on your way to becoming an independent adult.

Good luck with everything, and I hope you have an awesome time at prom! :)

Parents won't let me go to prom, homecoming, or do many other things... PLEASE HELP! 10 PTS BEST ANSWER?

it sad to see you don't see anything your parents are doing is for your own good. it also good that you are able to afford rent,go to school,get a job, and save up all the money to spend on the things you think you deserve. before you snap the suitcase closed and are ready to repay for all the stuff you plan on taking with you. have you ever talked to your grand parents on what or how your parents were allowed to date,go to dances, wear clothes they wanted, every kid forget their parents were once kids and have gone down the road you are just starting down.

if i were you make a list of the rules you would like to see changed but come from the understand what your asking for are things most kids earn by showing they are grown up and can handle it. if your parents don't trust your friends then bring them around more and introduce your friends parents to each other. when you were a kid you were told not to talk to strangers but now you want your parents to think you know right from wrong with nothing to show you have learn to tell the difference between a friend and a person who out to hurt you for their gain. please be a teacher to your parents and show them you are ready in actions not in words.

when you have the talk please don't yell if you don't agree with what they say. just calmly see what kinda of things they are looking for to get the changes you want. do you know how much a prom dress costs? do you know the family budget? if it rent and food and nothing left how would you pay for it? find out what they don't like about your friends and prove what they are seeing are wrong. if you have a kid acting like a spoiled brat and out of control would you see any reason to change your point of view? i say no . make the changes to receive the things you want and if you fail be ready to be punished and allowed to start again.

How can I convince my muslim parents to let me go to prom?

im from england so this is my y11 prom and tbh its a really big deal, all my friends talk about the prom nearly every single day and we have months untill prom night, im muslim and i would wear a modest dress and i wouldnt even take off my hijab, even the teachers at my school go on about it and there are 250 people in my year group and if I dont go I will be the ONLY person that doesnt go, ive spoken to him and he said no and that it would be haram because of the music, bearing in mind he's being a hypocrite because i go to weddings all the time with my parents and have my hair out and wear strapless and sometimes even see through dresses and they dont say anything because it is somali tradition, I dont know how to get through to him because my mum just always agrees to everything he says and he is saying no and its literally making me so miserable AND I know he feels kind of bad because he tried to buy me off with a macbook which obviously I was really happy about and grateful for and he trusts me to not drink alcohol or have sex or something (there isnt even going to be alcohol served and i hate most of the boys in my year). I just want to enjoy myself with my friends and do one normal teenage thing and he wont let me.
