you need to apologize to your parents for whatever you did. You sound like maybe a young teen so you have lots of time for parties. Maybe you could talk to them and try to work out a solution to the problem. It is up to you to give your parents reasons to trust you. You are their responsibility and they are reacting to your behavior. I know you don't want to hear this but that is the way it is. You have to earn the right to attend parties and go out evenings. You need to obey the rules of the house. I know this sounds stuffy and old fashioned but this is the same advice I give my grandchildren and it usually works for them. What ever they are angry with you for see if you can work out some way to appease their anger. You may have to do something you don't want to but only you can decide if the trade-off is worth it

Just tell them that you understand they meant well by punishing you, and you might even have deserved some small less inconvenient punishment, but you really disagree with this particular punishment. Then explain how the party is so much more important than whatever little lesson they were trying to get across and how all your friends' parents would never make their kids miss a party over something as trivial as what you are being punished for.
And, hey, if that doesn't work, just go anyway. Who are they to think they can tell you what to do?

I know you don't want to hear it, but forget about going to the party and figure out a way to get through your punishment as best you can. You broke some kind of rule and now have to face the consequences. Those are some of the hard realities of growing up. The only way to soften up your parents will be to follow and live by their rules. Don't worry, there will be a whole lot more parties to go to, just stay out of trouble.

I know that it probably seems like the most important thing in the world to go to this party coming up, but it is probably for the best if you start earning your parents' trust now. This could be a more long term solution. I don't know what you were punished for but you can earn brownie points by showing how responsible you are: finishing homework assignments early, abiding by curfew, picking up some chores around the house, or calling up your parents when you're out (they will appreciate this because they won't have to worry as much). Of course, flattery always helps...

GO and apologize. Tell them you understand why they punished you but its important for you to go. Tell them to let you go and offer what are you willing to give up. Give an alternative punishment and ask for permission. Parents usually give in once they realize you have understood why they punished you.
They will understand and should let you go. All the best

You didn't say what you were being punished for. Showing responsibility is always a plus. Nothing is more important than having your parents trust.

nope. . . you know why you are being punished. Maybe next time you'll think before acting.
Sorry you're missing the party. . . there will be a next time.

Clean the house the whole house....and apologize for what you did wrong then get on the phone with one of your friends and act like you are really dissappointed and so forth

First of all why are you in trouble? If it is just that they said no and you were honest then I suggest you do what I did. I told my mom that she told me if I was honest she would work with me. She said true and let me go. Good luck
