So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and don't lie to them. Try a friendlier way.If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don’t just say, “All ______ kids can stay out late. ” Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you’ll be and how important it is for you to stay out late. Then they just might say, “Yes. ”
