So yea judging by this title yall may have already determined that I've never been to a sleepover which is correct so :whoops: I am a 13 year old man (boy) and really really really need help on convincing her to let me go. I'm always the left out one out of all my friends and my Mom and Dad are just bricks they never budge always yell at me and always tell me I'm spoiled and stuff, which I'm not. I am very positive I am not spoiled. I am very positive being Muslim has to do with this because all my friends are christian and my I've told my Mother numerous times that I trust them with all my heart but they will not let me go to their houses for sleepovers which really frustrates me because they will not give me a reason but will always say no and say "Because I said so". Ive told them to hear me out dawg but they always say no and start yelling again Ive told her I will call her every hour and pray at their house and stuff but then again she will never budge. My parent have really bugged me about this and its super frustrating and I'm practically ready to go live under a bridge (Exaggerating but I probably could). They always go to the EXTREME with this subject it gets to the point where I feel like cursing at them or like just yelling at them back but I still dont get why they wont let me go. It is very annoying and it gets on my nerves and stresses me out :( theyve made me sad and cry over other subject like school because "Im not good enough" and subjects like my friends because they dont understand how much they mean to me, same with sports. They are always trying to force me to become a doctor (classic brown family) but yea seriosuly I need help and its not getting any better I would love for someone to talk to her but she doesn't speak english well and my brothers are totally against me having any freedom so I have no idea what I should do. I seriously sometimes want to go run away and cry. They know I can handle it but they wont let me because they are just ruining my childhood and making me a social idiot because I never get to go places.
TL;DR I am a 13 year old guy and my parents wont let me go to sleepovers and they know im mature and dont give me a reason besides "No" and "because we said so" I have tried talking to them reasonably, I feel left out all the time and my parents wont let me go

Hi I'm Gir ;) :type:
Anyway it seems like what your parents are doing is doing more harm than good. Once you're a teen, you're basically in that transitioning stage of turning into an adult. And throughout your life, and especially adolescence, you should be able to experience new things and have fun while you can. I know a lot of people my think that being an adult is sweet and dandy, when really it's not. I don't care if you even do have a well-paying job, there's still a lot of responsibilities for you to take on in order to sustain that job/career. Anyways, being a teenager is like your last chance to pretty much have as much fun as you want (I'm not saying to do anything that you may regret later on in life, just because you were "living in the moment") and I feel that your parents are keeping you away from those experiences, and overall ruining your adolescence. You're still only 13, many great years ahead of you. Back to your parents, they're being completely unreasonable and need to let you have some fun for once. It's obvious you've tried talking to them, pretty much everything in the book and they still won't budge. Do you have any close relatives, like an uncle or aunt that you can talk to and will understand your situation? If so this would be great support towards your goal of actually having a social life. If not, then do you have a guidance counselor that you can talk to at your school? Maybe if he/she understands your situation and wants to help, they can try talking to your parents. I know this for a fact, some parents often don't take their child seriously just because they're younger. When really what they're saying makes a lot of sense, but they're just too stubborn to listen. So maybe a talk from an actual adult towards your parents may be a good way to go.

My parents will go into sweet mode and say no really sweetly then when they get right off the phone, they will start going back to yelling at me. I have not really tried asking one of my close relatives because they all live far away but my Mothers bestfriends daughter offered me some help but I know that she will just yell at me right when she gets off the phone so I have no idea how to change their mind because they think they know me best when I am completely different from my brothers. I think maybe I should just take the risk but I'm not sure

She lets me do that but not sleep over she said maybe for a sleep over but that means no basically. There is really nothing to do at my house which is why I don't like to invite people over. :(
