Attempt to show to them the various merits and address the concerns of whatever it is that you are in dispute over. If any more concerns pop up, cut them down with logic and reason. If that doesn't work, nothing will; your best bet would be to just do x or y whilst lying - i.e. go to Party x while claiming to be going to the cinema with Co-Partygoer d, and synchronise stories if the situation arises where you are asked.Geek@Heart said:I'm almost 19 and my brother is 20, and our parents are still extremely over protective.CrazyBerk said:Also woh, you really 17?
