My dad won't let me hang out with friends?
My friends invited me to six flags this weekend and my dad said I can only go with an adult present. Mt friends parents are not going and their little 12 yr old sisters will be there too! I'm 14! My mom said I didn't need and adult if I was with my friends, but my dad insists on me being with an adult. I asked my brother when he was aloud to go out with friends(he's 20) and he told me 14. I told my dad that my brother was allowed but im not? He said that I am a girl and that I have to wait till I'm 16! My dad said that girls are vulnerable and weak and cant go out without someone to protect them. He's so sexist! That can't possibly be right! What should I do? Have my mom go to six flags with me and a group of 4 other friends? How do I confront my dad about this? EVERYONE I know can go by themselves and when summer comes I'm going to be all alone because I know adults wont be there? I'm honestly just thinking of lying and saying an adult will be there.

I understand this exactly. My brothers were allowed to do like everything when they were around 13/14 but when I was that age I couldn't go to friends houses or go to the mall and especially not go to an amusement park. Girls really are treated differently and it's not fair. I think that if you lie and say an adult will be there your parents will ask to speak to that adult and confirm that they will be there so it won't work.
Maybe tell him that you will call him every hour to let him know you are alright

Don't lie. Lying is always A bad idea. This is what I would do: 1. Tell him exactly how many people will be in the group. 2. Have your cell phone and tell him you will call him every half hour unless you are physically on a ride. 3. Have the number of the park security programmed into your phone, and show. Him that you do.

tell him he's gonna regret isolating you because your a girl.. your going to end up rebelling even more later, and doing worse things because your daddy said you couldn't.
**** him, sneak out or lie, he'll understand in a couple years when your partying and defying him because he wanted to contain you.
