Im 15 and a freshman in highschool and i want to go to this party, and its not like one of those typical high school parties. One of my friends is having all of the people on the cross country team over to hang out. (about 30 people all together) and the party goes untill 11:00. my parents will only let me stay untill 9:00 even thought her parents will be there. my older brother who is 18 and really protective of me will be there, i am an A student and have never even gotten dtention, and they know almost all of the people who will be there. when i ask why i can't stay later they wont explain why, does this seem like a reasonable curfiew, and why would they not let me stay later.

why not write all these great points down and then sit down with your parents and discuss them. after that they may see where your coming from and change their minds. the other thing you could ask is to have your curfew extended just for that night till 10:00 that way then your not out till 11:00 but get to stay past 9:00 they may think that this is not unreasonable and you may get the best of both worlds. stick to the great points you have made in your question. your parents may surprise you!!!

I understand and sympathize with you... My in-laws were the same way with their kids: over-protective. It probably is just a curfew thing, though... Relax, there'll be other parties and privileges when you're older... Now, if your 18 yr-old brother has to come home at 9, I'd say your folks DEFINITELY have a problem...! I'm sorry, but that's all... Try to be more forgiving of your parents - they're only very concerned for your welfare and that's a form of love... Don't forget that...!

If you are telling all the facts truthfully, it does appear that your parents are being unreasonable about your early curfew. Have you given them any reason not to trust you lately? If they trust you, they should allow you to stay until midnight. This is what I would allow if it were my child. Is there any way you can get one of the parents who will be present during the party to call your parents and explain the situation? Perhaps if they knew for sure that it was a safe situation, they would be willing to give you a couple more hours of fun over there.

I assume that your brother is your ride home. I would talk to your parents about extending your curfew for a special event (say 10:30). And, you can always get the host/hostess' phone number and have your parents call ahead to find out all the details. I am sure that they would appreciate your maturity with thinking ahead and will take it in to consideration when deciding.

don't take this the wrong way but your 15 not 18, they DO NOT HAVE TO explain anything to you, they are the parents and boss, what they say goes. maybe its someone at the party they dont trust. talk to them tell them your feelings and maybe something can be worked out

Did you explain all the reasons to them that you did here? It sounds like a reasonable request esp. because your brother will be there, maybe try and get your brother to talk to them-you might need to do him a favor in return...worth a shot dont ya think?
