My parents make me got to bed at 8 o'clock?

Question

I am 15, and I have to be in bed with the lights out by 8 o'clock. I hate it! What should I do to get a later bedtime

Answer 1

well. just go in your room and lock the door, and stay up as long as you want. your 15, you dont need a bedtime

Answer 2

Just don't go to bed what are they gunna do?

Answer 3

ignore them. you are a teenager. do what we do: REBEL!!!!!

Answer 4

if you're a pretty obediant kid, they shouldn't have too much objection to giving you a 9:00 bedtime for schoolnights and 10 or 11 on non-schoolnights.

if they won't, ask them for a good reason why they won't let you go to bed an hour later.

good luck.

Answer 5

Ask them nicely for a later bedtime.

Answer 6

Do something great and ask them if you can have a later bed time..

Doing something great makes it easier for me to get what i want.

Answer 7

Tell your mum and dad that you think you should have a later bed time.

Don't slam doors and stamp your feet like other tennagers.

Just talk to them and im sure they'll understand and you'll come to some kind of agreement, like you could say to them if you give me a later bed time, then i'll do the dishes for a week or something!

hope that helped!

Answer 8

Try to sit down and speak to them and find out if u were to be a little more responsible, would they allow you to have at LEAST another hour. Explain that as a teenager, u could use a little more wind down time, i mean 8 o'clock is extreme!! and it's for lights out??? that really sux. My 18 month old gets til 10!

Answer 9

Um, have more sleepovers with your friends?

Answer 10

Yikes! 8pm is awfully early for someone in high school. try to prove to your parents that you are responsible. or tell them that a later bed-time will allow you more time for hw or studying. if these don't work you could always use my tried and true method of using a flash light. finally, tell them that it is very difficult fr a teenager to fall asleep that early, and that a curfew of 8 is all right, but as a bed time it is unreasonable.

Answer 11

Do well in school. Ask them if you get good grades, could you get a later bedtime? That's the only thing I can think of aside from doing extra housework and helping out more around the house. But, honestly all of these things are expected of you by your parents. They may not change their minds. An early bedtime is good for you anyway.
