That does sound pretty lame.. If you want to lie to them then go ahead. It's not that great to lie though and if they found out, they might not ever let you go over there.

idk but my parents used to be like that too. it suckeddd. so i would lie. which now makes it alot harder to go out without getting 21 questions from them. so id just not go this time cuz im 19 now and i hate having to sneak around all the time, if you keep their trust now youre social life later in when you wanna go to parties and stuff will be alot better

Why lie?

No you should not be allowed to go there. Your parents are being this way for your own good but you cannot see that because you think you know it all.

I did not go no wheres when i was that young and it did not kill me..I lived and you will too...

Alot can happen in 3 hours so why do you think they are like that with you?

No, don't lie! Parents find out and you in a lot more trouble than it is worth..

No, you shouldn't lie.

You should get your parents together and go bowling or something. That way they will know what kind of kid they have that they let spend 3 hours unsupervised.

(And yes, my daughter who is younger then you spends hours at friends' houses unsupervised, but I DO know their parents, and they know us, and we both have similar rules which makes all parties involved feel much better [including the kids])

Dont lie or you will never be able to go some where cause they wont trust you. What you need to do is ask your friends parents to come and meet with your parents so they can meet. That way your parents will see what they are like and if you do that it will show responsibility and then they will put more trust in you and maybe let ya go. Its better then lieing

With everything that is going on in the world today, your parents are concerned for your safety.  Despite you being over there before doesn't mean (in your parents' eyes) that something bad could happen.

They may be being overprotective but nowadays, parents may be justified in being overprotective.

And NO you shouldn't lie.  Lying is bad.  Have your friend's parents introduce themselves to your parents.  Maybe that'll help ease their minds.

No your parents are not being over protective, and NO, don't lie to them.

Do what they tell you to do, at least for the next five years.

have them get to know the other parents better

No, don't lie the next time, because they could easily call over there or show up and find out you lied. Then you would be double screwed. I don't think they are being overprotective, this day in age, parents are just more careful about who their kids are around. Give it time.

i think you should talk to your mom one on one. moms seem to understand a bit more. tell them that youre old enough to be trusted and if they still dont buy it, have them meet the other family =) good luck

I'm thirteen too and i know the feeling well next time i would lie about it. Your rents are prob just being over protective and i no it can be suckish so ya you should probably lie so you could next time.

First of all never ever lie to your parents! They probably have a really good reason for saying no! You just won't understand that reason until you're older! Instead ask if she can come over to your house instead! Then you guys can hang out and your parents will still be happy!

hope i helped!!!

you should have your friends parents talk to your parents so they know exactly what is going on

I've always had this and usually talking to your parents and making sure they know where you are is always the easiest thing to do.

But this does have its negative sides... like my parents would sometimes get really moany and threaten to pick me up from my friends houses if I didn't come home. So now they tend to get less information but they still know that I have my phone and things.

What doesn't help is that if you lie, your more likely to get questioned alot more later on as a result and possibly s***w your siblings over too if you have any.
