How to convince my mom so I can go to our class reunion...

Say to mom that I have my friend there with me it is not like me myself alone getting there and swim~(^^) OR you could say that no swimming just wanted to see my friends and make sure you don't swim.(^^)

i would worry too. ARent they going to have another reunion? You could learn to swim between now and then and then your mother would not have a worry or a reason not to let you go. Alot can happen around the ocean and it might be best to learn to swim so you can be safe.

Do let your MOM understand that all the safety would be taken in case if you are going to swim. Also, try to make her understand that this re-union is important to maintain a good relationship with your school friends.

Well, maybe you need to explain to her how important this is for you to be able to go. At least it sounds like something you could afford to go too, so just try to calm her fears of you no being able to swim. People go to the Beach every day for Fun and never get in the water unless just long enough to dip themselves. I hope you can get her to change her mind so that you can go.

I don't really know what to advise you Cos Im also finding myself in the same situation like you. I am already grown up but she never allowed me to go out late in the night with my friends whom she know so well. I always agreed with my friends and cancel it later on because I feel my mom will suddenly get angry or will not talk to me. I guess when your class decides to have a reunion somewhere not in the beach, then you can go and hope that day your mom will allow you. I understand her concern over you, because you're her daughter and loves you so much.

One of the way is to take your mom there at the reunion. But I know that is not at all possible. May be you should try to convince her to believe you that nothing wrong or bad will not happen. The best way is to take your friends to her and make her confident about the fact that there is no danger and everything will be fine. Your friends are there to take care of you, and you are there to take care of them. You have already promised, so don't you dare miss it out else your friends won't like that. And the last and the final way that I usually use, is not to tell her that you are really going. Just go and fake her with your night stay at your friend's house. When my parents do not allow me for something, and it is really very necessary, I don't ask them, I just go and make it sure that they never come to know.
