Ok here is my deal, I am 14 and in 8th grade. I am very responsible, I get all straight A's, I would let my parents pick me up and drop me off to wherever Im going, and I will check in, but most important I would go with groups. How do you think I should bring it up or any pointers?
And if your here to tell me to "Save my Youth" or "Enjoy being a kid" save it. I have heard it many times on other questions like these. I dont want your criticism, if I did I would ask.
Best answer will get voted 10 points from me!!
Thanks for answering & have a nice day.

Just sit down and talk to them about it. Don't be a "drama queen". Talk calmly and sensibly and put forth your best points (responsible and good grades, etc...). If they say no anyway, don't throw a fit, sulk, complain or get mad. Take it well. Good behavior when you've been told something you don't want to hear makes a good impression on parents and anyone else that may tell you that "N" word. (-:
Then wait a while....a few months. Keep up the grades and don't make any negative comments about them saying no while you wait and then try again.
Not being a drama queen or showing any negative reactions will show that you can behave in a mature fashion. That's why I mentioned it. Self control and being able to graciously take no for an answer will leave them with a really good impression.

It is so frustrating to be a young girl in this world. Parents are there to protect you and they don't want you to make bad choices or put yourself in a situation for trouble. They sound like mean or unfair parents, but they aren't.
You have to build the trust with your parents. Gradually, ask your parents if you can go to a movie with a friend and make sure they take you there and meet him, so they don't think you are hiding anything and then have them pick you up at a specific time, you have to slowly ease your way. If you can prove to your parents that they can trust you, they will let you do a lot more.
Never be late, they will be more willing to compromise. If you act immature about the situation, then they will not trust you. I always came home late and paid for it the next day. Keep the trust going and you should be fine.

be careful about telling people that they will get 10 points, that's considered a violation and if you get caught, they delete the question and you lose points.
They are your parents, they have their reasons for not letting you go on dates. Maybe you should ask them why. Have you ever considered just going on a group date. I see kids your age all of the time on group dates. Maybe they would be okay with that, but not the single dating.

42% have herpes type II. The ones that dont go away and down below. If you were planning on just dating without doing anything your parents would know you were that type and just let you go. You dont need to be dating at 14. Thats absurd. Groups dont mean anything. Ive been to parties with groups, movies with groups etc. You can still do much.

Just keep on doing what you're doing. Your parents will realize that you are trustworthy eventually, and likely allow you to date. I was just like you at your age, and my parents let me go ahead because it was obvious to them that I was not interested in sneaking around doing anything they didn't want me to do. I always told them where I was going, and they had numbers where they could reach me. I also tried really hard to come in at reasonable hours, because they were waiting up for me, and I knew they were tired. I think you should word it just like you did here, and see what they say. You aren't really asking to go out with one person in a car. You are trying to be safe and responsible by having others with you. Go for it!

14 isn't too young to date , you say you are responsible and make good grades . I feel you are old enough . but I am not your parents. tell them you promise you will go where you say you are and you Will check in . If you promise anything make sure you keep that promise , Trust broken will not be broken again because they will defiantly not let you go again.

If I were you, I would remind them how old you are, and assure them a. that the boy you are going to go out with is decent and trustworthy, and b. that dating will not cause your grades to slip.
