I'm 15 and I am not allowed to drink. I understand my parents' decision but it seems unfair to me since everytime i go to a party, all my 15 year old friends are drinking WITH PERMISSION!!! How can I convince my parents i'm responsible enough to drink? Or how can I drink behind their backs without getting caught??

I'm a fellow 15 yr old so I'll help you from my perspective.
Drinking behind your parent's back is dumb, you WILL get caught, I guarantee you. But some of my friends try and go to no-parent parties, and they have all that stuff there.
But it seems like a trust issue. Just show your parents how mature you are (drinking behind their back is NOT a good idea), and they might let you have sips, then more and more, gradually. You are underage to be drinking, so don't think you can get it all.

Drinking isn't all that. Kids are gonna try a lot of different things whether they have their parents permission or not. A parent that allows their 15 year old to drink on a regular basis doesn't care. Have any of your friends died yet from drinking, or been raped? I would say your lucky to have parents that care. They just want you to have a good life. More then likely they expect you to try drinking anyway, but if you get caught, remember to rule when you play, you pay.

It's really not gonna work, either way. Whatever you do don't have your parents talk to your friends parets, because most likely what will happen is your parents will convince everyone else's parents to not let them drink, and it'll be your fault. My advice is to just not drink. If your friends give you crap about it tell them that your parents have a brethylyzer, and test you if they're even the slightest bit suspicous. Make something up. If you do drink tho, chew some gum so your breath doesn't smell, and throw away any empty bottles in the neighbors trash.

Your parents have your best interest in their decision not to let you drink. You are to young to be drinking, your body and brain are still developing and alcohol is not good. I knew a young man about 14, whose parents thought it was cute to let him drink and get drunk. This happened frequently, he thought he was something. One night he had been drinking, stole his dads truck, which was a company truck. To make a long story short, this 14 year old never got to see graduation or anything else, he wrecked the truck, flipped it 4 or 5 times and was thrown from truck and killed him dead. His parents have had to live with this, it was their fault. Your parents are being parents, not your friend when they tell you not to drink. You have the rest of your adult life to get drunk and act ignorant. Be a kid while you can, and don't drink just to fit in with everybody else. You don't have to drink to have a good time. If you drink behind their back they will eventually find out. If everything I have said hasn't made any difference in your decision, just one word of advice, don't drink and drive, it is enough you kill yourself, it is another when you kill someone else.
Be safe and mind your parents!!!

I'll tell you how to convince them and get them to trust you. Don't say things like "Or how can I drink behind their backs without getting caught??"
That's not responsibility. You want to front responsibility but will be sneaky and lie if it comes down to it.
It may seem like everyone elses parents are better then yours, but those kids are the kids who's parents don't care about them.
You're lucky to have your parents. Don't try to grow up so fast, you'll have plenty of time to drink later.

the ideal age to drink is over 20 i think. at 21 your allowed. and yes you dont want to wait but drinking early can lead to alot of things. drinking is the start and then you would want to smoke, and then you would want to go to parties where they make out and do things your not ready for. drinking can kill you. if your friends go driving while they are drinking then they can get into a serious accident. before you wounder about drinking right think about the consequnces it can cause. think about your future and the things you wanna accomplish. get the important things done now and stay blessed. good luck.

Remember there is a legal age limit, it is ILLEGAL for you to drink! Your parents are just looking out for you. I'm sure it looks like your friends are having fun and all but nothing positive can really come from them drinking, if anything resolves from it, most likely it will be negative. Just wait hun. Really.
