how will you convince your parents???

Fortunately my father is not like your cousin's father. When my father sees that we really wanted to go, and beg for his approval, then he would just have to say yes. Last time I went out with friends, he was so angry and mad at me and my younger sister because we did not ask permission the day before. He said he can't do anything anymore since we are already ready for the outing. He got mad at us when we went back home but never shouted or talked bad things to us. Thank god it was a mother's day when it happened..lol! Anyway, if my dad will not agree for me to go out for an outing, I will now go and just plan something else so as not to ruin my day. I just can't go sneaking around. There might be something bad that will happen and when he finds out, I am already in a bad condition. Karma I should, for disobeying my parents. Disobedience is after all one of the commandments.

Back in college I only ask permission from my parents when I am already on my way out for my activity. That way they won't bother saying no to me since they have no choice anymore. I guess maybe its because my parents also know that I won't do anything stupid when I go out on adventures.

Hi! Just follow your uncle. If something happens, or worst an accident you'll be blame if your cousin went with you without his parents consent. Sundin mo na lng sila :)There would ne next time

Sometimes parents become strict with their children because they know that their children is not mature enough to be independent. Parents always notice and know if their children can be trusted. In the case of your cousin maybe he is not trusted by his father, and his father know that he will do nothing good in going there.. Next time your cousin must show to his father that he can be trusted, and he will behave. He must show to his father that he is responsible enough in doing things.. And don't allow your cousin to go with you because when something happens to him, you will be the one to be blame because you allow him to come with you. In one of the Bible verse said that " Children Obey your parents in the for this is right"... This means that he must follow what his father said. This Bible verse is excluded for those who are not staying with there parents (as my theology teacher said).. Happy Swimming Tomorrow!:))

of course it is not right to disobey your parents. Why not try to ask permission from his/her mom and ask her if she can convince the father to give permission to your cousin to go with you. Tell the father that your companion will be your cousins and that you will take care of each other while on the trip or just try to promise something to your cousins father that you think he cannot resist. And lastly, try to accompany your cousin while asking for permission and help persuade father to let her join you since it is a good time for bonding and it is still summer time. Have fun to your outing. Goodluck :-)

Hi asliah... I think your cousin's parents treat him as a kid who do not grow up. He can try to persuade his father that he has grown up and tell them he really want to join this outing.. You can join his persuation and convice his parents that you can look after for each other. Chief of all, your cousin could tell them he would pay attention to safty. I think this is parents' biggest worry. And then can tell them his plan, what he want to do during this outing, and what he will learn or get form this outing. If he did all he could do, they still do not agree with him...I suggest him to give up this outing, because there have some problems of communicaiton between him and his parents. His parents do not trust him.. He may do something to prove that he has grown up in the future.

No, I will no longer come because I am an obedient son. I understand that my parents are only concerned about my safety. I am aware of the numerous drowning incidents during outings and get-together by teenagers who are just innocently trying to have a good time. I understand that it is because my parents love me so much that they do not want any harm befall me. (On the other hand, I have heard that Majayjay Falls is an interesting place. That's the downside of being young. You have to ask for permission for anything you do. Say good luck to your cousin for me on convincing the elders.)

hello asliah, Of course it's not good to disobey parents. But maybe your cousin can convinced his parents if he will promised one thing. You cousin must think of one thing that his parents like/want him to do or stop with his behavior or his habit,that he will bargain to his parents blessings. Now,if it still doesn't work,maybe you can talk with his parents,and gives them assurance. Sometimes parents are just aware of their kids safety that is why they don't allow them to go somewhere else without them around. Just pray that your cousin's parents won't asks to be tagged along (hehehe) Enjoy your outing and hope your cousin can go with you guys

I don't think i'll be able to go anywhere if my parents disagree. But, theres still a way out of it, you talk to his/her parents or let your parents convince. It might not work when it comes to your parents convincing your friends parents, but, it should work here, since you are relatives.

Sometimes accidents happens. That's what deters us , parents in allowing our children to go on outings like that, where there is no adult to accompany you all. So i guess, your cousin should just follow his parents. You can all go by yourselves but not without him because he wasn't permitted. It still pays to listen to your parents.

well, he can't disobey his father but in my case if my cousins and I go to an outing and my father would oppose they would just come together and gang up on my father to let me come, you could do that and promise to be careful and to get home on a said time...but if that doesn't work then you can't do anything, we must always follow what our parents say, if we wan't a peaceful life, but well, in my case I would sneak out and tell my cousins that my father relented in the last minute...it always got me in trouble but hey! it was all worth it, though looking back I now know it's wrong and I even got my cousins in trouble for my rebellion too so I wouldn't advice my course of action to be taken by your cousin...
