I could use a little encouragment

[StupidBird]

let your folks trust their gut.

I've paid dearly for ignoring my "gut feeling" about several things involving my DS. Let it ride for this BUT ask what circumstances would make them feel comfortable.

oh nevermind. I also remember being quite put out that my Dad never did any of the glorious things that he talked about, 'cause I was a girl.

Not much help here, huh? Sorry

Don't worry,be happy. I also was youngest and left out of many things----I showed em. At 17, I joined the Nuclear Navy (subs), traveled the world, got out and got a job that traveled all over. I've now done more things and seen more things then my whole family several times over. Your adventure is only beginning.

I am the fifth child (out of seven). My brothers had a lot of restrictions while they were teens, but by the time I was old enough to get into trouble my parents had mellowed out quite a bit.

Being younger really is the best, you miss the strictness of new parents, and you have a bunch more toys/games/fun stuff to borrow.

I totally agree with Mamaroo...

But for what it's worth, it just shows how much they love you to want to protect you like that. I had parents that let me do whatever I wanted and I would have loved if they cared enough to keep me safe. All of my friends envied my freedom, but I envied them for having parents that cared.

thanks everybody

I didn't really make a big fuss over it, I'm not like that, I just let them know that I was disappointed and left it at that, maybe they'll let me go next year

Very mature of you. If your siblings are like you, I commend your parents.
