15 years going to a party event
84% Normal
19 Comments

My 15 year old daughter has approached me regarding a up and coming party that will be taking place within the next few weeks. I trust my daughter 100%% and she is allowed to attends her friends' birthday parties when they occur. But this particular party is for 15 - 18 year olds. As I said before my daugther is 15 years old and I am unsure as to whether to give her permission to attend this event. When I told her that I did not think it was a good idea that she go to this event she sulked and said that she does not ask to go out often and that I should allow her to go as all her friends will be attending this event. (Her friends ages range from 15 - 18 year old). She also said that she is doing very well at school and that i should allow her go. I am at a lost as to what to do.

I have not yet asked any details about this event because i was adamant that she was not going to go, but after speaking with her father he does not seem to have a problem with our daughter attending this event.
Do you think it's normal?

What adults are going to be supervising activity? If you know and trust them, I would think it would be OK. If not, not. If there are none, definitely not.
Maybe you trust your daughter, and maybe she even deserves it, but do you really want to trust those 18-year-olds you don't even know?

If you know her 18 year old friends and trust them to look out for her then I don't see why not. And if she's also a good girl then they're really isn't much to worry about.

let her go. just be sure she's smart enough about drugs, alcohol and sex. if you didn't talk to her about it, she probably doesn't know any facts aboutt them and how you can die the first time you take them or dangers of STD's. Let her go if she knows about these things. Otherwise, if she doesn't, it's your job to inform her about it as a parent.

she sounds like an amazing kid, and one who's respectful of herself and her parents.
those are the kinds of kids who don't get in
(a more than normal amount of) trouble. everyone wants to go out and have fun with their friends, and if she knows she can call you for anything, why not? she's just as likely to get hurt walking down the street honestly..
if it would help you out, ask her to phone and check in a couple times during the night, to make sure everything's alright.
let her go!!

Weren't you young once? How would you feel if you were being denied the chance to attend an event you've been waiting for very eagerly?

If she's smart, everything should be just peachy.

And if you deny her this, she's not gonna bother asking you next time - she's gonna go right ahead and do it, without your knowledge. So the question is, would you rather a) let her go and know about her goings or b) not let her go and remain clueless about her activities for the years to come?

Wait until she becomes an adult(18). Speaking on experience, ANY party that a teen goes to will have drugs and alcohol present, then the question isn't if you trust her but if she'll trust herself to say no, most kids don't have self control.

I agree with your husband that you need to be more open about this, though you are right to be concerned.

Ask her for the name & phone number of the parents at whose home this party will be held. If she can give you that info, call them. If she can't its no go, and its not about her teen pleading.

Don't be a retarded parent. If she wants to have sex and drink beer she'll do it no matter what you say and what you do. You'll just make things worse and make her miserable if you don't let her go. As for drugs, trust me it's not so easy to be a drug addict, drugs cost and you have to be a fucktard to use them in the first place. Btw your daughter sounds like a smart kid, if you don't treat her right you don't deserve her. Parents are the ones that ruin their children, not stupid harmless parties.

Anaid (24236) is correct. Smother her now and she'll go crazy and rebel the moment she's off the leash entirely. If you raised her right she may experiment but will make good choices when it counts. Let her exercise her responsibility muscle.

Wrong pitch - they are letting her exercise responsibility while exercising theirs. Get the names of the parents at the house party, verify & she's there. This is a parenting question. Not a teenager question.

find out the details and then make your decision. You know yourself and your daughter and the way she is you figure it out but don't avoid the details simply because you are worried. When your a parent the phrase Ignorance is bliss becomes a complete lie. as a parent Ignorance is dangerous.

I don't have kids but if I did they would know how to protect them self's and I don't mean the. "Here's a condom. Use it." Protect them self. I mean the. "Her is a knife. If he gets to frisky fuck him up." Sort of protect them self. But I digress. I think you should first see what adults will be there and if you think they are trust worthy people than let her go. But I still suggest handing her a pocket knife for protection. Mace only works if you hit them in to the eyes and a normal pocket taser is a joke. Me and my friend use to taser each other for laughs. But a knife. Well that always works. I always carry a knife and if I lived in the city it be a gun.
