the guy i've liked for agesss just asked me to prom, and we both really like each other, so its really perfect and stuff

the only problem is, my parents won't let me go to prom. Their rationale is that my grades suck (which they don't, seeing as my parents are about the most stereotypically asian parents you will EVER hear about) and that prom will make my grades drop more.

how do i persuade them to allow me to go??
PLEASE HELP ME! Prom is in about two weeks, and i'm DESPERATE! cry.gif

ohmy.gif that really sux!

I haven't been to a prom since....oh....4 years! But I know how unfair parents can be.

They may be under the impression that you're irresponsible in some way...just by judging on your grades...which sux.

So, maybe try to make them feel like you're a responsible person...try to gain their trust! That's how I worked my way around to getting what I wanted with my mom.

Try to do chores around the house (maybe a little more than you're used to), and vow that you'll truly do better in school and don't make them regret letting you go to prom.

Maybe hanging out after school for the next couple of weeks should stop for now. Just study and maybe that'll convince them that you are taking them seriously about what they said about your grades.

And if they want you back home right after the prom...don't push for a later hour, just going to the prom is good enough _smile.gif

That should do the trick! wink.gif

Parents want to feel like their kids are taking into consideration of what they say. So making them feel like you agree and you're serious about improvement...then they'll be more easy about letting you go.

I hope that's a good suggestion.
