Re: My parents are too strict.

By: vu huyen>> Wednesday, October 14th, 2020 at 11.00 P.M

Current mood: I'm so sad!

My parents set a time for me to come home in the evenings. They expect me to be at home at 9 o'clock. I have asked them to give me a later curfew as i want to spend more time with my friends but they don't agree. Last Sunday night, i went to my friend's house to attend a birthday party. The party was so great that i forgot the curfews. My parents were very angry and kept calling me to go home. They said that if i didn't come back home right away, they would go to my friend's house and pick me up. So I had to say goodbye to my friends even though I didn't want to. My parents are too strict. It was a birthday party and they can give me more time to spend with my friends. I wish that my parents would allow me to stay out until 10 o'clock in the evenings. I want my parents to change curfew with me. How can i make my parents change their mind?
