So I 'm an 14 year old girl wanting to travel across a two provinces for a French Immersion 9 trip. The trip is 5 days long, and there will be 2 teachers, the principal, 2 parent chaperones and 40 kids going. My parents are over-protective of me, and are terribly freaked out at the idea of me traveling without them beside me. I told them that all my close friends we're going, the friends that they have all met, know their parents and everything. I told them that we would be staying together as a group, everywhere we go. But my mom just won't let me go. She said to discuss it with my dad, who will take her side immediately if she says no. Any tips on how to get my parents to say yes?

I think you should have the principal talk to your parents. Don't be embarrassed, just go up to them and ask if they can call your parents to talk them into letting you go. But before you do that, you should tell them all about how responsible the adults there are, and that you'll call them every single day and nigh of the trip, and that your growing up and this is just a trip with my school and it'll be virtually impossible for me to sneak off, which i wouldn't even do. Everyone else is going and i don't think it's fair how your so overprotectivee. Im growing up and you cant always be like that. If thatdoesn'tt' work, then talk to the principal. Good Luck! Jamie PS! If it's an education trip then mention that.

5 adults trying to keep a handle on 40 teenagers...hmmm. I don't blame your parents for having concerns. Maybe in a few years. Sorry.

you are to young to go by yourself. I would never let my under age children go by themselves out of the country. That also depends on how mature a person is. My son traveled to california when he was 17 with his class. I didn't really want to even let him do that but, he had got so many awards in the business classes he was in that I let him go. They had won the nationals and were going for the international award. It was to further his education. I was still nervous about him being so far away. What if something happened to him and I couldn't get there in time. I would always regret letting him go. That's why she doesn't want you to go. She loves you very much. But there is always a way. My son earned over half the money to go that year. He worked very hard to come up with it. I felt like he had earned it. He earned it with his grades and the hard work he had done to earn half the money. That showed me how bad he wanted to go. Try something like that.
