I am 15 years old. I am not allowed to get in the car with another teenager (driving). I will be 16 in 9 months and when i am 16 i will be allowed to drive my friends places.
-I have friends who are turning 16.
-I am a responsible kid.
-I dont drink or smoke
-I get good grades.
Still my parents wont let me get in the car with another teenager..Any advice to what i can say to them to make them rethink that rule.?

Its THEIR car, and THEIR rule. Live with it. They only worry about you, and be HAPPY they do.

I wish I could help you on this one but, your parents are right and they sound like pretty darn good parents. One day you'll thank your lucky stars that they are the way they are. It really doesn't matter how responsible you are or whether or not you drink or smoke. Or if you get good grades. When you get into another persons vehicle they are in control. And many are not as responsible as you. Your parents trust you. That's obviously not the issue here. They are willing to allow you to drive other teens around when you get your license because you've shown them how trust worthy you can be. Be thankful for that. Many teenagers don't even get that luxury. Nine months isn't long to wait. It seems like it now but it really isn't. You'll be fine. Have a pleasant day!

You may be a responsible kid but the ones you are getting in the car with may not be. An automobile can be a very dangerous weapon if not taken seriously and most teenagers aren't ready for the responsibility. Your mom and dad care for you very much and they only have your best interest at heart. Be thankful for such caring parents and try not to grow up too fast so that you will have the opportunity TO grow.

be patient. listen to them.its their rules.u will have time to do whatever u want.i was the same age and my aunt was very strict.the one day she agreed to let me go, i asked my cuzin to go.we were only aloud to be gone for an hour.well we ended up in an accident and my friend(17) and my cuzin(18)died at the scene.me and the other 2 friends had to be airlifted.it was a difficult time in my life. i had to learn to walk again.11 yrs later im still never over it.and blame myself.im not tellin u this to scare u or whatever, but ur parents are lookin out for u and only want u to be safe.i realize that now.bcuz im now a mother of 2.just be careful in what u do. and just know they arent trying to be mean or whatever they just love u

Well, if your friend has their license then have them come over to your house and drive you and your parent/s around to prove they have the skills to be safe. That's what we did. It is a good compromise. But you have to stick to your promise that you will not drive friends car. Break that rule and you will be very lonley and bored and grounded to college age hehe.
