I know you don't want to hear this but your parents only worry about you because they love you. No it is not always fair, but I promise you in a month you will not even care about this anymore. The only thing you can do is possibly talk to your parents in a calm mature fashion and explain to them that you will be supervised. Maybe even ask them to join you, maybe that would make them feel better about it. If you are still not allowed to go just remember it can always be worse no matter how sucky it seems right now.

Your parents should let you go … you’ll be with friend, and have a good chaperone, and since it’s on your birthday, and you are getting the book as your ‘gift’ I think it would be a ‘truly wonderful memory’ … and you may SHOW this to your parents if you want to.

I’m the mom of four now ‘grown’ kids, and have two (so far) grandkids … and you should let your offspring do this … since she’s a reader, she’ll be ‘okay’ and her friend’s mom will be there, too, so PLEASE let her go! I would take her if I could … but I live in Seattle. I want to go to a Harry Potter party, too, but I’m ‘too old’ and all my kids have ‘preordered’ the book and it’s being mailed to them. DARN!

you need to show them you're a responsible young adult if you want them to stop treating you like a big baby. do your chores, get good grades, and maybe have your parents talk to you friend's mom so they feel more self assured.

Ask your mother to come along, too...then she will have no reason to worry

If your parents trust her parents and her mom will be with you guys the whole time, then I don't see what the problem is. Talk to them and tell them they can call your friend's mom to talk to her about it and make sure you'll be safe. Also mention how much it would mean to you as a birthday present.

Have her mother talk to your parents and ask permission to bring you.
