How to convince the folks to let you go out

ItsAWindUp

Any idea how I should convince my parents to let me go on nights out? I'm 16 but I'm 6"2 so I wouldn't mind going out in the not so distant future. My parents on the other hand.....

minidazzler

Go out where?

Closed ac

Ask them nicely? Idk? They're your parents.

ItsAWindUp

As in nights out, down to a late bar or club. I should have been clearer about that.

PirateShampoo

Tell Mr and Mrs Fritzel or Mammy and daddy as you might call them, that if they dont let you out soon you will tell on them.

Biggins

According to your personal circumstances, earn their trust.
That also means you being with others that will calm them more - not worry them more!

Oh, OK then, no there are enough places for young people to go drinking, I don't want ye in my fine drinking establishments and risking having my favourite bars fined or worse for having undesirable characters in there. (Undesireable being young people.)

Agricola

Your taking me back now OP! Fighting with the parents about been let out.
In my experience the only way is too bring them with you!

Well are you male or female?

Oh and don't look down on your parents..

bigeasyeah

Allay their fears and anxieties by telling them details of what you intend to do.Providing you re heading out for a good clean lawabiding night out.

I found telling my parents the truth usually helped when I was your age.
My parents were quite liberal and I was honest with them.
I would tell them I was off to a club and they would say "be careful and don't do anything foolish". Next day they would ask how much I had to drink at which point I would embellish the truth.
Tell them you are capable and responsible and won't abuse their trust.

dcmu

So crazy it just might work...

drunkmonkey

You do what the rest of us had to do, grab your balls in your hand and tell them both to go **** themselves your going out with or without their blessing, don't forget to mention you need 20 euro or you'll be forced to go thieving to buy your honey some cola pop and taytos!

Is this a wind up? I can't take you seriously OP

Simply inform them that you're going down to the local head shop to get some of this highly-addictive-scourge-of-society-hash-substitute, as they look at you aghast, inform them that you are reallygoing to go out to the local pub, drink 15 pints, poison your liver and kidneys, get in a fight, puke and probably pis$ yourself, but all within the boundaries of the law and they will gladly let you out for some government sanctioned fun.

He could always go buy some bath salts ; )

I'm 15, and I'm allowed to go to clubs, pubs, late bars etc.
If only my friends had beards too...:(

CrazyRabbit

Divorce your parents. Legally possible.

Wtf does your height have to do with anything?
You're still just a child at the end of the day and should be tucked up in bed in your favourite spiderman jammies by now...

bazmaiden

If you wait about two years and then ask them it may be possible.

stepbar

Tell them they've got your age wrong... For fup sake your 6' 2''! Lol

Doc

How about you wait until your old enough to drink in pubs? You want us to tell you a way to persuade your parents to let you do something illegal? Being 6'2" is not the same as being 18 your parents shouldn’t be letting you go out drinking and clubbing at 16 you’re not old enough.

Well considering he's only 6 inches tall, it's no wonder his parents won't let him out of the house. He'd be trampled to death in a pub or nightclub.

Super-Rush

Just tell them you're heading out with Snyper, everything should be fine from there.

Trust me;)

lol fair play to mammy and daddy. In all seriousness, I think it's a different story to say that to a young lad than a young lassie.

epgc3fyqirnbsx

You're 16 lad!

Never mind the pub, get a bag of cans and a fire log and go to the nearest lake/traintracks and enjoy your bushing years!

JJJJNR

Best thing to do is make sure you've got all your homework done on Friday and get them to sign it.. etc.. hide that porno mag. and then call ***THEM*** hypocrites esp if they smoke .. like 2 pacs a day or something.

ah now come on thats for the 14-15 year old age group. When you hit 16 you need to start moving out of the field and into the pub.

I cant believe that your parents are depriving you of nights out in South Tipp.

Thats sooooooooooooooooo sound of them.

irish_goat

Get a part-time job, it's a lot easier to get freedom if you've your own money to spend and aren't mooching off them all the time.

Ah pants, there was me thinking I'd just socked it to the man. I stand corrected.

OP, get cans and head to your nearest field. How long have you been drinking that you already want to head to pubs and clubs? Enjoy these years, going on the knack is the best drinking of your life!

You can't see the wood for the trees.

FearDark

OP i see your location is "South Tipp". As a fellow South Tipp man I would advise not going out until you hit college and a big city, honestly theres nothing in Tipp.

i feel like i shouldn't thank you but i don't know why

Leftyflip

Maybe his parents are winding him up?
Besides he is only 6 inches...

Grimebox

I used to stay in a friends house pretty much every friday night for years. Well at least thats what I told my parents

IvySlayer

Staying in is fun. I'm watching curling on BBC 2.

Holsten

Go out, get turned away from every pub/club around, end up knacker drinking.

Drinking in fields is much more fun at that age anyway.

dsmythy

Tell them to give you one chance. Then don't turn into a drunken idiot.

Sheepy99

just tell them youre stayin the night in a friends, and come home quietly and appear in your room the next morning and take it from there. thats what i'd do , then again what do i know im only 16.

brendansmith

Tell them you are going to start dating a black man if they dont let you.

That should scare the sh1t out of any South Tipperary parent.

So really, you're 25 then?

Dudess

Just go gattin'... and make sure to stuff your bag with something to replace the cans before you go home. I made the fatal mistake of forgetting this once when I was 16 - a scarf was all I had to replicate the bulge created by a bunch of cider cans...
