Make Your Own Get Well Card

I am eighteen (I'll be nineteen in April), attend college and the church all the trimmings. All my life, literally, my parents were super strict on me because of my older sister who came out and went mad and ended up with a child. Since high school, I only went on a trip outside of my youth group and now that I'm older and will have nineteen I want to do more. I live at home until the fall when I move to the occasion and the fact that my parents will not let me do something unique.
I am eager to go to Florida for a weekend in March with some friends who are great and enjoyable. The whole trip is already planned and everyone can go, but when I asked my parents, they should "pray" and "we'll see." Which then turned into a "what are the numbers of parents" and "we will discuss them with your youth pastor."
I am a youth leader nineteen and I am one. Literally, when I say that none of the parents of my friend the other do it is so true, my parents hate me go anywhere except on travel for young people. So it's a good way to be able to go with my friends without having to get on Aging "card" and my parents have all hell to hit?
I'm tired of being treated like I was one of twelve, and I just do things when I want because I am responsible and able to make my own decisions and not do anything stupid. I will take any advice, please give it to me (:

I recommend you sit with your parents and talk to them. Ask them what their concerns are, what they fear. It will give you the opportunity to hear how they feel. Remind them that they have raised you well, and while you will make mistakes, it is from our mistakes, we learn the greatest lessons. Also, ask them to have faith in the person you've become. Enjoy!

If you find, please let me know. my dad always tries to run my life and I was out of his house for thirty years.

just try to talk to him without getting upset.

My advice is to sit down with your parents and tell them that you would really like to make this trip. Tell them that it would be a good experience for you, go out into the world and see how other people act in different places. Tell them you call them every day if they want you and you are very reliable for this trip. Also remind them that you are not your sister. The fact that your sister did what she did your parents took a step back. They, of course, does not want you to make the same mistakes she did. Tell your parents they have to trust you and trust that God would not put yourself in a situation that you can not manipulate you. Once you prove to your parents, after this trip you will not end up like your sister, I am sure you will be able to get a little more free.

hey, they will always do so. just do what you want to do anyway as you are old enough and seem friendly enough to not "go wrong"
