if its not a punnishment then no. its i innocent little dance. its not like anything goes on.

depends wat u did

whatever there reasons are, it must pertain to that.

No.

Do they have a good reason for not letting you go? Have you done something wrong to make them not trust you or ground you? More details would be helpful but from what you've said I would say it's not fair.

no...
they're really fun!
plus there are always teachers at the dance to make sure nothing happens.
^ tell your parents that.

GOOD LUCK

depends if you have been good or bad..try sneaking out

what the reason they wont let you go.?

more details please..add more and i will help you out.

If it;s because you;re in trouble, than yes.

If they are worried about "inappropriate dancing" then tell them there are teachers watching, and u can always say no thank you to somebody if you dont feel like dancing.

What did you do to piss them off?

yup, its fair if you did something bad.

well, are u grounded? if ur not, then NO

I dont think it is fair, BUT, it actually depends wut u did, and Y u did it. I meanm if it was bad, then u shouldnt have been in this situation!!!

it all depends if you have been good or not just think have the teachers called home have you got many detentions if not you might be seeing family but dont blame it on them

well what did you do?

Well...Do they have a reason??

Does it matter? Fairness is not guaranteed in life.

May be you did something you shouldn't have or perhaps they're old fogeys.

Well it would depends on what you did. If you didn't do anything then no, its not fair.

you'd end up hating it, listen to your parents, they really do know what's best, even if it seems ridiculous at your age :) bear with it

maybe there paranoid. maybe they are just afrais to see their kid grow up......they may not be ready because they dont know what dances are really ike- a time to chat and eat. they may think its lk serious slow dancing and stuff. well dont sweat it-just be lucky u arent me because everyday when i get home from school my mom asks if i have a boyfriend yet.lol, she cany wait.

Just Go!
Tell Them Your Not 5 Anymore!

hahah- what did you do.. post what you did, then we can judge.

im in 8th, and the dances aren't that much fun-- when you get to high school., you can cry.. because high school ones rock.

No! I think espically if its at your school you should be aloud to go to your dance i mean usually at school dances there are chaparones and things like that so its not like your going to do anything bad.

are you a good child?
are you grounded?
their must be a reason

I'm sure they have a reason... but generally, I think it's strange. They should let you experience things like this for yourself if you are willing. If you haven't asked them why yet, you should. But do it calmly or anger levels rise and nothing gets solved. Just try to make a decent curfew, have your phone, say what is safe and what they want and all.

Yes, it's fair. What you did was very wrong!

Depends on the reasons. If its because you did something wrong, your parents are correct for not letting you go to the dance. Also your parents might not like letting you go to a dance. Will there be adult supervision, etc. Try talking to them to get more info on why you can't go to the dance.

No I dont think thats fair cause my parents do the same thing to me all the time but sometiimes I have to go cause I am prom queen and a cheerleader so just try to work it out between your parents even if you have to bribe them ! GOOD LUCK!

Did you ask them why they won't let you go? Maybe they are afraid it won't be properly chaperoned, maybe they don't want to have to get out of bed to pick you up after the dance or maybe they are punishing you for something they think you did wrong.

I'm a parent and I can tell you that there is no "fair" when parenting. MOST parents have legitimate reasons for saying no.

It just depends on the reason they gave you. If they said "you're too young" and the dance is informal with friends, then yeah i'd say they'd be overreacting. But if you've gotten into trouble recently, you guys don't have a close relationship, or you can't trust each other, then that's a different story. I've had friends that were not allowed to go and I had no idea why. She is trustworthy and just wants to have fun with her friends. I'm sorry you can't go :( but maybe try talking to your parents about it and think up of reasons why they should let you go...like you're responsible, they should trust you, you've never let them down, etc. Good luck! :D
