i know your parents seem kind of mean but maybe you should try to reason with them a little. Assure them that you won't do anything bad if you go for a sleepover and that you feel like you never have any fun. You can start of with sleepovers at your house and when your parents realize how much work those partie include they may let you go to your friend's houses. If you want to have fun with your family you can try board games and stuff, they usually end up being fun once people get into it... Just remember that they probably have a lot on their plates so when they have free time its actually just to get other stuff done so they probably don't realize what they are doing

Your parents are really not letting you have the social life that you should. Either that, or they are playing a bad joke on you. Have a talk with your parents, and maybe ask them why they won't let you have a sleepover until you are twenty. But don't let them get away with a dumb answer. Make them give you a real reason. But whatever you do, don't lie to your parents and go sneaking off. It really isn't worth it.

Not to be nasty, but that is screwed up. If they are experienced parents they would know that if they dont loosen their hold on you a bit your just goin to revolt in some way, most likely sneak out some time to sleep over. My 5 year old sister gets to sleep over even. That is young yes, but its only with our close family friends. What ae they saying anyways, who sleeps over at 20!!
They are tarnishing your childhood.
They cannot cover you from the world forever.
Sleeping ovee should not be an issue with frinds that are allowed to sleep over at yours.
Say this to them. If you think i shoould only have to sleep over at 20 then what your saying is all my friends parents are giving bad parenting!!

I have a friend that is turning 15 this month and she is still not allowed to sleep over at anyones house. Your parents may just be worried that something will happen to you at someonelse's house. Why not ask your best friend to have a sleepover?Make sure that your parents talk to her's about it, and just see how it goes. If they know her parents well it might be easier to convince them.

They are just concerned for your well-being... I know now you may not look at it like that, but that's the way it is. I used to feel like you and now that Im a Mom I see everything different.
At least you can have friends over at yuor house... and no matter how boring your house is, when there are friends over there is always something fun to do !

ask a teacher, pastor, or your doctor to speak to your parents- let it be explained to them that this is when you need to develop social skills and by being with your friends it will be healthy. You could ask them not to tell your parents that you came to them- maybe they could just say "I have noticed that your daughter is not allowed to socialize like other children and this concerns me." Good luck- I feel bad for you. I am 24 now. I was able to sleep over at a friends house in kindergarten. I have children and will feel the same way.

My daughter got to sleep over lots of times but I knew the parents of the child whose house she would be at. If I didn't know the parents then the answer would have been know. You are old enough to sleep over. Talk to them.

I think your parents are very wise to not allow you to sleep over. Most of the sleep overs are the start of a lot of trouble. There all kindsd of things that you can inocently getinto on a sleep over. I sleep over with my cuz and he almopst killed me with my uncle's pistol and it was not my fault. I'm sute your parents want you to have fun but they also want you to be safe and not do things that you will regret whe n you'rte older.
