would you let a 15 year old girl have an allnight campout with boys and girls older and the same age?

im really annoyed cos one of my friends is having an allnighter--where we are camping and will be staying up all night. it is in a random field(i think) and there will be boys and girls there around the same age as me--15. there is going to be alcohol there and a few people take drugs but i dont drink and definatly do NOT take drugs. im responsible and my parents totally trust me. but the problem is that they think that something bad will happen to me! how can i assure them that it wont and would you let your 15 year old, mature teenage daughter do this??

Update:

none of my friends take drugs and theyve been to a few campouts recently and say that they stay away from that lot and hag about in a big group!!

my parents usually never say no!! and i wont throw a paddy!! lol

    No, I wouldn't. Drugs, alcohol, and the opposite sex never mix good for a group of 15 year olds. I'm sorry, but I'm siding with your parents.

    If you were my child, I wouldn't let you go.

    Heck, I'm 18 and I wouldn't WANT to go. Underage kids drinking and doing drugs is never a good thing, and why would you even want to be associated with people who do those things?

    Your parents are just concerned about you, and because drugs and alcohol will be there, of course they're going to say no. They're doing what they think is best for you, and if I were you, I'd just listen to them. Parents really do know a lot because they've been there before.

    Tbh, some parents are less strict than others :) it sounds like a fun night and i would defiantly go, there's nothing wrong with drinking, drugs there is though, id never take em, you should go but keep note of whats happening around you, watch what people try to do, ive attended such things and bad things sometimes happen to people that aren't paying attention.

    yes your parents trust you it everyone else they don't trust.

    they are only trying to look out for you, and do whats best for you to keep you safe. like you said they will be drinking and drugs going on, so it wont take long before people are pi*sed and stoned, nothing good will happen when they are like this and there will be problems.

    i wouldn't let my 15 year old out

    when i was 15 my mom stopped me i can now see why.

    so stay at home have a friend stay.

    nothing beats your own bed where it's nice and warm.

    Sorry, but most parents wouldn't let their 15 year old daughter attend such an event, unless their was adult supervision.

    I hate to sound boring, but there will be plenty of time for parties in the future. Best advice is to accept your parents advice this time, tell them you understand (you'll win brownie points here), and maybe next time you ask they'll be a bit more lenient and trusting.

    Probably not, because I know that at 15 I got into situations that I did not agree with because all my friends were going there. In the long term it did me no harm, but I cringe to think of the way I behaved after a couple of drinks, and what I could have got into.

    ok, im 14 and first off i would ttly want to go. but you need to think how your parents would view it. i mean, first off, bad things COULD happen. its the chance of the matter that also counts too. its like thinking that you are gonna go out for a drive and you think your not going to get in an accident then the next thing you know YOU DO. you never would have seen that coming. your parents would really have to trust you if they were going to let you go.

    Absolutely not! The people that you'd be with aren't trustworthy if they are drinking underage and take drugs. I would worry that something bad would happen to you as well. It's doesn't show good judgment on your part that you even want to be a part of such a crowd.

  • 1 decade ago

    lol, its not only about drugs an alcohol, you might just get caught up with a boy!

    so no i wouldn't let my 15 year old have a camp-out.

  • Um, even if you would never drink or do drugs (cause they're REALLY BAD!) but they are going to be there, then idk if they shoud=ld let you go. my 'rents nevery would...

    i mean, w/o the drugs ans stuff, i would want to go too, but do you really want to hang out with a bunch of high stoned people all night? funn! *sacasm*

    do your parents know about the drugs and alcohol?

    but you should just tell them you wouldn't ever give into peer pressure with anything there, you're responsible, and stuff like that i guess...
