Me and some friends wanted to out to Central London tomorrow and have some fun but when I asked my mum and dad they said no as they are 'uncomfortable' with it and some other bullshit reasons that didn't even matter like something about this time of year and I'm too young and whatever. I don't go out much, probably because of them and when I want to go out they get all overprotective even though I'm almost 15, I am mature and sensible. What is the point of having fucking friends if my mum and dad stop me from going out with them and having some fun. I'm really pissed because of this now. :mad:

Its frustrating I know, and believe me you will get to spend more time with your friends. Your parents are just looking out for you, and maybe they had a legitimate reason.

So, as a parent, they're going to let their 14 year old go to a different part of the city with one friend?

You may not like their decision, but they are only looking out for your well being. I'm sure there is plenty to do with your friends near where you live.

It isn't with one friend, it's with at least 5 and one of my friends lives near there anyway. It's not even that far away.

"Hmm... should I let my underage teen son wander about a large city with his other friends...?"

Hmm... You're parents are doing their job. I'd be a little more appreciative. Because you could have parents who let you do whatever the fuck you want, and not give a shit about the results.

My suggestion?
DEAL. Don't get booty-hurt because you can't hang out with your friends. It's not a big deal.

Try going out in big groups and use the excuse, "safety is greater in numbers."

Yes.. Flock the children.

Deal with it. They are making the right decision. For all they know you might be doing drugs. Why would they let their 15 year old boy wander in one of the biggest cities in England with maybe 4 or 5 friends? I think they are right... But whatever..

Thats not an excuse, thats a statement. Also if his parents said no in the first place, they will probably say No quicker than they did the first time.

As a parent, being alone in the the middle of a city at the age of 14 years old with other kids that age, I would be highly concerned too.
Anything could happen. I do understand what you mean, to be able to go out and do something different is exhilarating.
Don't worry. More freedoms will come with age.

Just talk with them about it in a calm sensible manner, assure them that you will be safe and that you'll make sure you're not alone and you'll act responsibly and let them know that they can trust you. If that doesn't' work then just walk away and and show them taht even though they turned you down you're still acting mature and not overeating just show them that you are mature enough over time and more freedoms will come.
