I'm 13yrs,8th grade, in the U.S.A.I am an excellent student, I babysit, and I am very responsible.I got an invitation to attend a People To People Student Ambassadors program because of my leadership skills and academic excellence. At first I thought it would be in Europe, and my parents wouldn't let me go. Then I found out it it is Australia. They still won't let me go. They say while I am under 18 years old, I am not traveling to another country. I wanted to travel to every continent by the time I apply to college at 18 years old.
They say I can't go because of the cost and world terrorism. I said I can get sponsors-my mom says she wants me to just focus on school and not have to worry about getting sponsors. I said I was willing to take the risk of getting hurt-my dad said he refused to hear another word about it. I've tried bringing it up several times. It ends the same way-with me and my parents fighting. Why are they being this way and how can I convince them to let me go?
