so i was talking to my parents about going to summer camp with liek a group of ten or so friends and they wont let me. recently my mom found seeds in my pocket and such and now she says she wont let me go to any concerts til im on my own what should i do to convince her to let me go?
I don't know you or your parents, but sounds to me like you have already blown your chances... If she is likt most parents, the punishment won''t last until you move out, but the way it works, especially with moms is you betray her trust, it hurts her feelings pretty deeply, and she doesn't feel she can trust you to do anything until she feels she can trust you again. If ti does last until you move out, look on the bright side: She won't stay this mad forever (most likely) and you only have 2 more years until you can ove out (provided the age you listed is accurate...)
I have to disagree, doesn't seem like the best advice to me. I don't think lying can be justified, particularly in a case like this. You are 16, you made the choice to smoke. Maturity is a lot more than making your own desicions, such as the descisions to grow/smoke. Anyone can make a desicion. Maturity is stepping up to the plate and accepting responsibility for those descisions. Even if that means not having the freedom you were used to for another couple years. Lying is not accepting responsibility, it is avoiding it and a very immature way of handling it. I am not preaching maturity as in grow up, get a well paying career, a big house, a nice car and all that crap, I would say if that is what you want, go for it, but if you don't go right ahead and don't! Just don't complain about it and accept the good and the bad that comes with your choices.
Give me a break the kid is 16 he has a long time to still be a kid and have fun before worring about "maturing." Lying can always be justified when it involves going to summercamp or not. "All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone Can't this wait till I'm old? Can't I live while I'm young?"
Obviously we have differant views on maturity... I don't think it is just for older people, I think it is for anyone who makes their own descisions...
Well, generally, I don't see a line, because I don't think it is okay. But if it ever were justified, I see it only in direct life and death situations. For example, you friend comes running through your house and tells you not to let anyone know which way he went. Then someone follows close behind and asks you which way he went. I can understand it in that instance, but if something is not life or death, I don't see how it can be right.
Well, if you feel what you're doing is right, then do it. Talk to your mom about it. Don't lie. If she can't accept it, then hide it. In terms of the concert, you're 16, it's pretty much your decision. If she won't let you, just talk to her about it. My mom never stays mad longer than a month, and I've done some pretty bad things. Just calm down. If your mom is like my mom (who is pretty strict about things like drugs) she will be really mad right away, but if you prove yourself, everything will be fine.
Come up with a daring plan- for example, get a friend to come over, wait til she's in earshot but she thinks you don't know she's there, have your friend ask you to come and smoke with him/her, you say "No, I've given up"... It's the perfect plan
haha i like that idea haha, ya i ve been trying the no lying thing and its been working just not with concert but with most other things she is cool about now
