Answer 1

Stupids! exept for charmedchiclet's. She is asking a question! I hate people like ya'll. Ya'll better watch yo backs it gonna come back and bite you on butt.

Anyways! I would just do exactly like charmedchiclet's you should pick her as best answer.

Answer 2

I think what you need to do is tell your mom that you realize that you made a mistake. Tell your mom that you are sorry for forgetting the sweater and that you realize you are wrong. Tell her you will bring it home as soon as you can. Do not act like you are right and she is ridiculous. Your mom is trying to teach you responsibility. She asked you to do something and you did not do it. If you tell her that you understand that you made this mistake she may be more apt to listen to you and you may just end up at that dance. Parents try to teach their children responsibility, morals and what is right. She asked you to do one thing and you did not do it. She needs to know that you understand that you made this mistake, and you will do your best to correct it and make better choices in the future. The sweater may not be the issue at all. Remember that. Good luck. I hope you get to go to the dance.

Answer 3

OK, there has to be more to this than just not bringing home your sweater. Has she had to tell you to do this repetitively? If so, this would show lack of responsibility, and being allowed to go to a dance would require a certain amount of responsibility. If this was a one time occurrence, are we really getting the whole story? If we are, I guess I don't understand your mother's motive, but she is your mother and she has the last say.

Answer 4

Everything in 8th grade is passing. You'll soon forget that you didn't get to go. Beside, why does an 8th grade class need a dance that is nicer than many proms a generation ago?

Answer 5

She's just mad at you and will very likely get over it. Meanwhile try to get on her good side by asking her what chores you can do for her. Don't make it a condition of going to the dance, just do them quietly. Then in a couple of days beg her to let you go and it's very likely that she'll change her mind seeing how hard you've been working. Until then don't keep bringing it up or arguing, that will only make her angrier.

Answer 6

perchance your mom's value decision gained't stretch a strategies sufficient to pay for both dance and piano training, and she thinks you're better in all probability to apply your piano-playing skills as an individual.

Answer 7

I dont know where your sweater was and why it wasnt with you, but if she cares about your feelings then she'll let you go knowing its important to you.Maybe you should ask her to go and watch you if she doesn't trust you to go alone.Maybe she never went to a dance when she was young and thats why it might mean anything to her.If she doesnt let you go,just remember its the high school dance thats most important.

Answer 8

If you sneak out and go anyway, your mom WILL find out and will NEVER let you go to another social function again. Be the cool one in your class and tell them you're rebelling and not going. You don't have to tell them why, just say you have better things to do than go to a stupid dance.

Answer 9

Sounds like there's more to the story than this, but it's really ok. Yeah, it sucks, but there'll be more dances next year and prom after that.

Answer 10

The more you show her how bad you want to go, she wont change her mind. She's trying to teach you a lesson. Being upset and down will solve nothing at all.
