What if my parents want to be prom chaperones?

If you're going to your Junior Prom, and you're fifteen years old, or fourteen years old, chances are you can't really debate with your parents on being your chaperone. They're going to want to be there to monitor you. Since they're paying for so much of the prom, most likely they're paying for everything -- your hair, your makeup, your dress -- you don't want to debate them on it. They're going to go, and just let it be. If you're a little bit older, if you're a senior in high school -- obviously in college, you're not going to have a chaperone -- but if you're a senior in high school and your parents want to chaperone, you maybe want to sit them down and have a discussion with them, and say, maybe, "I'm a responsible person. I haven't done anything wrong. You know me Monday through Friday. Nothing's going to happen on Saturday that wouldn't happen Monday through Friday." And most of the time you can sit them down, have a conversation about it, they'll budge. If not, just keep working on it. If you know that they want to be chaperones, you want to start talking about it, not the week before, but the month before, maybe six months before.
