OK, so this is my first ever time going to a "teenage party" and I am really excited. I have never been to one. The last one I have probably been to, was surrounded by annoying 5 year old children playing pass the parcel or musical chairs.

Of course, like any other party. There is going to be alcohol. It even told me to bring alcohol. To be honest, I'm not really going to be drinking it.

Or maybe I should, just a little taster. Is there a point where you can "feel" when your about to "lose your mind?".

My parents are Filipinos and it took me a while to allow me to go to the woods with friends.

It's like I have to pass through border control every time I leave the house. I can understand why she should be worried but I am old enough to know about "stranger-danger" or the appropriate actions on what to take in the real world.

I have tried talking to her about this "border control" but she is extremely ignorant and stubborn.

I am quite grateful she will let me go to the woods to be honest.

How would I approach this to my Mum? She does let my 18 year old sister but that's because she is 18 I am guessing. Although, she was offered a flight to Spain by my auntie but my Mum was restricting her. She managed to manipulate my auntie enough to not let her go.

So how would I approach this to my parents? Well, my mum.

She's going to think I am going to have sex or land on the moon. I really want to go as its my only chance with a relationship. Assuming everyone else is drunk and I'm an awkward kisser then its fine.

For my mum, ethnicity is relevant. There are mainly white/British there. Again, I have no problem with this. But she does. What can I do to her to stand up to her generilizatrions?

Sorry, for this long post.

I guess all you can do is ask and see might help if your Mum knows the people you will be with.

Take things slowly with her, yeah? Don't leave out important details and make sure you don't lie. If she found out you lied, she probably won't trust you much afterwards. Explain to her that you haven't gone to a party in a long time and that going would mean a lot. Let her know and reassure her that you will be responsible and that you won't do anything reckless (Though can I say, I do recommend you to not drink alcohol unless it's legal in your country to be drinking it at whatever age you are.)

All the best, there's not much you can do, but your mum seems to just be trying to be there for you.
