i was involved in a car accident, where it occured because of drinking & driving. i wasn't the driver. i was the passanger. &we were both drinking, but in the safe place of her home. we have to leave to go somewhere, &i should have been a smart friend, and took her keys but instead i rode with her. we ended up hitting a tree pole over 55 mph and totaled the car. we were rushed to the hospital &sent to the trauma unit. my parents....they have lost their trust in me which i have no doubt about &i'm not suprised. i need to gain it back. i'm a senior, and i'm suppost to go to beach week with a few fellow friends &they think the same situation will happen down there. &now they are saying i can't go. ive' tried talking to them. they won't listen. i've tried explaining to them that everywhere we need to go is walking distance, they still aren't budging. i need to know what to do....i need to know how to work everything out before my senior trip.

wow...that's not going to be easy, you're parents are probably scared and thankful you survived and don't want you near any more risk...I don't see any solutions except for maybe them coming with you...sorry. be safe!

You were very lucky to start. Just down the road yesterday, a drunk 23 year old young man completely demolished his car and lost his life in a collision he caused with an innocent 19 year old girl on her way to work. It was a terrible and unnecessary loss (luckily she survived but is terribly hurt) due to a night of partying and the decision to drive home. That tree pole you hit could have been someone or something else. But you already know these things, I'm sure your parents have lectured you enough. As far as talking to them, are you sure it isn't the friends standing in the way? If they are untrustworthy types, or partiers, it may be them more than you they don't trust. We try to protect our children from everything, especially bad influences. Do something to show more maturity, help out around the house, be more sensitive to their needs. And be honest, that's the key to being trusted.

Put yourself in y our parents shoes for a moment...They are so greatful their child is alive after that car accident hitting a tree pole going over 55mph* then...not long after...you're wanting to go to a "beach week" party with a few fellow friends ....how can you honestly expect your parents to trust your judgement after that incident.??? ANy type of partys walking distance or not can be dangerous. Someone could slip something into your drink...you could end up getting really drunk and passing out somewhere etc.* I'm not sure HOW you can make them trust you again* that's a tough one* GOODLUCK*

sorry, but i agree with your parents on this one. you werent being responsible that evening. im glad your alright, but you could have been seriously hurt. they have laws for a reason. while you werent 100% responsible for it, you do share some of it. Maybe taking away the one thing that you really want at this time will teach you to understand the meaning of action/reaction. some day you will understand it. i hope it wont be to late by then.

why didn't you think about what you were doing in the first place
if you were irresponsible then until they really think that you are trustworthy you don't have any right to go on that trip
