How Do I Convince My Dad...*(PLEASE READ&HELP)?

Question

How do I convince my dad to let me get into cars with my friends who are 17 & drive ? I am going to be 15 in a few months.(sophmore in highschool)

Please help .?***

Answer 1

I advise you to listen to your dad he's just trying to protect you.

Answer 2

your not going to convince him, he cares about you and thats that. Do you realize how many young people get killed in car accidents every year in the world?

Answer 3

         Its not that your dad doesn't trust YOU, he doesn't trust the drivers. They're only 17, meaning they've only had their license for 6 months. (Or, where I live, you get your license when you're 16 1/2).

        I think the best thing to do is have them meet your dad and tell them what good drivers they are. If they've been in ANY type of accident, he probably won't let you be in a car with them.

        

Answer 4

Ohh trust me, it's hard, especially if they are guys. You have to start out with short drives or just going somewheres that is like 5 minutes away to hang out.

I'm almost 18 and Dad doesn't even like me driving lol.

Answer 5

You won't convince him if he doesn't want you to do it.

Pestering will only convince him even more you are not yet mature enough to handle it.

Ask once and accept the answer.  

Answer 6

i agree with amanda C :

I don't blame your dad. No 14 year old girl needs to be in a car with a bunch of 17 year olds. You may not realize it now, but he's looking out for your best interest. He loves you and wants to protect you. You'll understand when you get older, for now, you need to abide by his rules

thats true you are still to young if you want you want to convince him than there better be an adult in that car aswell  

Answer 7

No you cant convince him because he loves you and is scared for your safety.

I would be exactly the same as your dad, he does not want you to be in an accident and all the amount of shrieking and yelling will not change his mind.

Its all part of the parent/child relationship that we all go through (me included)

Answer 8

You can simply talk to him about the way you feel, and see what his reasons are for why he wont let you ride in cars with other teens. If he still thinks its a bad idea it must be for a good reason. Listen to him hes your parent

Answer 9

I don't think you should!  

Answer 10

I think you should just ask your dad and if he says no, follow his instruction.  He is saying that for a reason, most likely your best interests.  You shouldn't try to convince him.

Answer 11

Sorry I believe your father is right. The chances of teenagers being in car accidents is great enough and it only goes up the more people they have in the car. I'm sure you and your friends are responsible, but it only takes a split second or an idiot in the car next to you. My sister is 18, and until her senior year she was only allowed to have one person in the car with her and was only allowed to be in a car of someone else if she was the only one with them. Her senior year my parents allowed her to have 2 people with her.  

Answer 12

I don't blame your dad. No 14 year old girl needs to be in a car with a bunch of 17 year olds. You may not realize it now, but he's looking out for your best interest. He loves you and wants to protect you. You'll understand when you get older, for now, you need to abide by his rules.

Answer 13

well, to be honest. He's been there done that so chances are maybe when he was 15 he drove with older boys and something happened.

our parents have been there and they learned from their mistakes, so they want to raise us the opposite.

good luck.

Answer 14

if hes anything like my dad you probably wont convince him..

like unless he meets the kids who are driving.

youd probably be better off just doing it without him knowing haha
