Prom house

<p>How do I convince my parents to let me go to prom house/prom weekend? There will be alcohol and my parents are pretty uptight HELLLPPPP</p>

2

<p>Don’t go. I’m presuming you’re underage and shouldn’t be drinking anyways. Prom in my day, which honestly was like last year was just about the dance, not after parties. That should be the focus of your night.</p>

3

<p>Um, what is prom house?
Also if you are under 21 (which I am assuming you are) and there is alcohol then them saying no is reasonable…</p>

4

<p>Tell them you won’t drink but you will have lots of sex with drunk people.</p>

5

<p>What’s prom house? Google isn’t telling me.</p>

<p>Just…ask them, I guess. Without accentuating the drinking.</p>

6

<p>…Just don’t tell them about the drinking. I figured that was common knowledge.</p>

7

<p>Or convince them that you and your friends would never drink, even if there’s alcohol there.</p>

8

<p>However, I think most parents are well aware that
a) high school parties have drinking and
b) their child will most likely not just say no.</p>

<p>They’re not that naive. If they let you go, it will be in spite of what they know will happen, not because they think the party consists of cake and balloons and ballroom dancing.</p>

<p>@Muta - best comment I’ve seen in awhile.</p>

<p>@OP -

  1. Sneak out to the party
  2. Convince everyone to have a beer pong tournament
  3. Win said tournament
  4. Send a picture of yourself with visual proof of your win to your parents at 3 in the morning (make sure there is alcohol in the background!)
  5. ???
  6. Profit</p>

<p>A prom house? Prom weekend?</p>

<p>That sounds like the dumbest, most irresponsible idea I’ve ever heard. No offense. Do you believe your parents are going to think that everyone at this “house” will be playing patty cake and not drinking/smoking?</p>

11

<p>Uh I never said they wouldn’t know there was alcohol there i was trying to find a way to convince them with saying “oh I would never drink” or something</p>

12

<p>Have in depth talks with them about how awful alcohol is for teenagers and how you can’t believe people your age would drink.
Sounds a bit strange, but it worked for me. That may be because I believe that stuff, but how you actually feel is irrelevant, as long as you can lie well to your parents.</p>

13

<p>I say don’t even try to convince them to let you go. Convince them that you’re not going to go and then go anyways. </p>

<p>Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.</p>

<p>Say this will be the chance for you to prove to them that you won’t give into peer pressure and stay sober even at a place where there’s alcohol</p>
