HELP WITH PROM, please help me!! Options

[570L3Nxh34r7]

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!

I agree with what someone said earlier. Just try to show them that you are responsible and mature enough to go to prom. Honestly, I have an Asian parent too and sometimes she thinks of the stupidest excuses to not let me go somewhere, but it's just that, an excuse. Perhaps they really aren't worried about your grades but maybe it's because they think you're young. Maybe it's because they just don't like you going out. Maybe it's because they know it'll be expensive. Etc. But either way I suggest trying to almost prove yourself to them that way they'll see that not only are you taking what they say seriously but that you are showing them how much this matters to you. I don't really think making promises will help because if for some reason you don't keep your part of the bargain, they won't let it happen again. I think actions would speak volumes rather than promises or trying to bargain with them. Also, it is always very adult-like to sit them down and explain to them your side of the story and why you would like to go so badly, however, you just have to make sure that you keep your cool the entire time even if you think they're being unfair.

Anyway, GOOD LUCK.
