Well for starters you should have asked permission if you wanted permission. If you already live on your own, then they can't stop you, but there will be hard feelings on their part. If they decide to be upset, they may cancel your college tuition payments. Much better to talk to them about how much this trip means to you, and get your aunt and uncle involved regarding the accommodations. Try to put yourself in your parents' shoes--their 'baby' going so far away...\n\nGood luck!

I think that you should respect your parents call on this one hun...sorry.  You are only 13, and your parents love you and are protecting you from experiances that you are not yet ready to handle.

r u 18 yr. old or older? if so why dont u just leave town and let them adults deal with each other? u can get urself a career change in a new town and everything. if ur under-age u need to be open and honest with them both about how this makes u feel. if nothing else you can say you wanna live with ur grandparents or something.

I have a feeling that you just want to go there because you want to out do your sisters. I may be wrong but, you just got to follow your heart. If you really, really want to go there than talk to your mom, don't wine. And make sure your sisters stay out of it, I know they can be a big pain in the a**.

You tell him the truth about how you feel and should respect your choice.  If your under 18 though I encourage you to wait and not just jump into this.

Firstly I hope you have fun with your mother. Maybe something like this would make you feel better so that you won't have to be thinking about it during your visit:\nTalk to your father and make a back up plan. Of course I don't know how far it is from your mom's to the airport, that being said, perhaps you can make sure you have money for a cab to the airport, So if mom refuses you can call a cab.

That is a hard time for you. Been there, 3 times\n1/ list things you like doing, or are interested in\n2/ look up clubs and groups that do these things, \n3/ if you have at least 1 friend that you can persuade to go to any/all of them, go.\nif not, go yourself, you don't have to stay if uncomfortable, remember, some of the people there possibly went for the same reason you did.\nGive it time, Parents Without Partners are good places for your age group. There are others, look up the net\ngood luck.

Well unless they have invented time machines, and you can go back and get your parents to f_u_c_k on another night, your stuck with your age. As far as the other one, once you turn 18 you can change it.

That's sooooooooo cool that you know at that age.  I had conflicting feelings from age 16 through age 21, then I finally came out and accepted it.  Coming out is an ongoing process.  In life you will always run into a situation that people will assume that you are straight, and you have to be yourself.   \n\nI would wait until you are absolutely sure you won't upset your home life.  At age 13, you need to be focusing on school and preparing yourself for the outside world.  Your Dad might be joking, but maybe there is some serious issues for him that might cause him to through you out... I've seen it before.  If you are sure your family will love you no matter what, then be honest and tell them.  Be prepared for all the questions they will ask.  It would be in your best interest to find some counseling for you and your family.  Here in San Diego, we have a Gay & Lesbian Center with a great youth program.  Hopefully your city has such a place for you to connect with the Gay Community.  It's up to you to help your parents not get all crazy by supplying them with accurate information about what being gay means to you.

i get the impression that if you have to ask your parents' permission, that your under 18\n\nif thats the case, listen to your parents!

I know exactly what you are talking about. My parents did that with me all the time at that age. I'm 21 now, and they know I am free to do what I need to do, but every once in a while they act like they don't want me to go. I can tell you exactly what it is: Your parents are having a hard time accepting the fact that you are no longer a child, but an adult. It is normal for them to seem a little overprotective because of that, they just want the best for you, no matter what your age is, and they still want to be acknowledged as important in your adult life. Even with a full time job, and with my friends and boyfriend, I still try to find time with them, kind of my way of saying that I understand how they are feeling, and because they are my family, no matter what. Before you leave to go somewhere, give them a hug and tell them, "I'll get home safely. I love you. See you later!" Just let them know you appreciate them, and I promise, as you grow older the more they will continue to learn to let go. Good Luck

Why don't you try and communicate with your mom, tell her why you don't want to go, and let her tell you why she chose dancung for you.\nIf you a good reason for not going I am sure she will understand, if not then you have no choice other than going.
