Question

my friend is having this hotel party for her sweet sixteen and she is having this sleepover and she wants me to go and sleepover. i asked my parents if i can sleepover, they say no. my mom knows her mom. but my mom only let me sleep at people houses if they're are cambodians, and I'm cambodian. my dad thinks im going to get kidnapped and my mom keeps saying no. like this time my best friend scarlett always ask me to go to her sleepover and my mom knows her mom. and i ask my parents, here the answer NO! it's driving me nuts. im 14 and im mature.

Answer 1

if it was at her home they might would let you go, but a hotel is not so good, trust your parents.

Answer 2

wow your parents are way to pretective.

take a risk and sneak OUT!

i would.

i have.

Answer 3

just listen to them they are worried ...your young.....

Answer 4

lol 14 years old isnt mature, but its def old enough for a sleepover. cuz when ur 15/16, you like never have sleepovers anymore. maybe youre mom doenst trust people of  other races?

Answer 5

your only fourteen, your still young you have your whole life for sleepovers.. i know it can be a bummer but your parents must not think you are mature enough to go to a hotel where there will probably be no one to chaperone ... a little hint.. trying talking to your parents and find out why they are not letting you go just ask them how come they are not letting you go. hope it all works out for you though..

Answer 6

Answer 7

Sneak out. They're being ridiculous.

Answer 8

Yeah ur parents are probably worried that when u "sleep over" (if u ever do get to sleep) u will have all the freedom to do things that u might regret in the near future. Once ur with ur friends u might do things that could have been prevented with your parents responsible supervision. Thank god u hav parents that care about what happens to you.  

Answer 9

Be thankful your parents love and care about you. When you are older you will understand. Now its your job to learn from them

Answer 10

Your parents are probably just scared that something terrible could happen to you while you are staying at the hotel. It would probably be different if it was your friends house. But at a hotel there are many weird people that could affect how safe you may be. So I know it probably seems unfair, but consider it a blessing that you have parents that love you enough to freak out about you so much.  

Answer 11

they proably dont want u hanging out with older kids.

my parents dot he same thing but if u prove that ur friends are responsible it should work. o and say that there is parental supervision.

Answer 12

my mom would do the same thing

idk

sum parents are just DIFFERENT  

Answer 13

i'm sorry but i have no answer for your question my parents do the same thing they just get worried for no reason!!!!

Answer 14

Its inappropriate...your 16.  parents have have different rules. Don't take it personal..you will have plenty of time to sleep over peoples houses when you get a little older...17 should be the age.

good luck

Answer 15

:[ I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm filipino and my parents were the exact same way with me! Why must asian parents be so STRICT? :P So, your mom won't let you go to the sleep over because your friend isn't Cambodian, right? And your dad won't let you go because he's paranoid? Well, if I were you..I'd definitely talk to Scarlett's mom and try to have her convince your mom to let you go to the sleep over. Have Scarlett's mom assure your mother that she will: provide adult supervision at all times, call your mom here & there throughout the night to keep her posted, and ensure the safety of all the people sleeping over that night. Hopefully, with Scarlett's moms persistence that will convince your Mom & your Dad. You should also do some sucking up yourself & just keep bugging the h**l out of your parents. But don't bug 'em too much..because asian parents have no patience for whiners. Haha.
