Jake is my close friend and he's having a New Year's party. My mom doesn't want to pick me up after 12:00, so I asked her if it was okay that I could just spend the night. My other friends, Samantha, Becca, Andrew, and Ashley are staying over too. We're all just friends, so why is it so bad that I stay at his house? The girls are all sleeping in one room while the boys sleep in another! We're twelve and thirteen year olds and the only thing we have on our minds is playing Rock Band and hanging out! How do I convince my mom of that?

Ask her if she will cover the cab fare home. She won't have to go out after 12 and you can stay later. It's a fair deal she may agree to.

Hopefully you can appreciate that the reason you're mum doesn't want you to go is that she's concerned about you. She may well have met the guys and thought they are cool, but she's also had enough life experience to know that alcohol, two male adults and a young woman could spell trouble!!I'm sure you know that they're good friends who respect you, but try to imagine the situation from her perspective. It may seem harsh, but trust your mum, she's only looking out for you.

While at times it may seem as if your parental units are being unreasonable---they have your best interests at heart. Sometimes you just have to realize that. Your intentions may be absolutely, 100% innocent---and Rock Band is some great fun, don't get me wrong, but the fact remains that you are asking your mom to give you permission to essentially go to a co-ed sleepover. You have to build and earn that type of trust instead of expecting her to just hand it to you. Maybe there is a way to compromise. First, you have to not be all whiney and grouchy sounding when you approach your parents---if you are trying to earn respect and you must demonstrate your ability to be mature by acting in mature manner. Secondly, propose a compromise---put all the facts on the table--is Jake's parents going to be home, etc.? While staying up until midnight with your friends would be the best for your world--maybe telling your mom that you would be ready to go by 11:00 and offering to watch the New Year's program on TV with she and your dad as a family event--maybe prepare a special edible treat together--- That way you are not asking your mom to drive around (where there are drunk weirdos) after midnight AND you are showing that you can be mature and understanding. Tell her to think about it and get back with you later. That way you are a. not putting her on the spot to answer right then and b. if she decides to let you go, she saves her parental pride. Now, if she still says no--let it be---no fit pitching---you are trying to build your maturity credit up.

I doubt that there is a way to convince your mom to let you sleep over. But if you are really desperate to sleep over, then have your girl friends' moms talk to your mom about it. Maybe they can persuade her since they are on the same level as she is. Also, you cannot blame your mom for wanting to keep you home. It doesn't matter what age anyone is, things can always get out of hand.

have his folks talk to your folks. if his can reassure yours, you might stand a chance. though, i have to tell you, i kind of doubt i'd let my 13 yr old do this unless i were friends with the boys parents
