Tell them they are depriving you of learning a very important life skill as well as alienating you from your friends which is not a good thing to do to a kid! |

Parents dont seem to trust their young ones that much when it comes to driving. I say you talk to them and go on a few drives with them to show them your responsible enough..meaning no cell phone use and so on since u can easily ger distracted, Hope it works..Good luck and stay safe on the road. |

Ask them, "What can I do to earn your trust to be able to take Driver's Ed?" |

Maybe they have their reasons. I'm sure they are not trying to torture you. Believe it or not, most parents aren't out to ruin their kids lives.
Are you a responsible person?
Do you make good grades?
Do you do household chores?
Can you be trusted behind the wheel of a car?

sit your parents down and ask them why it is you cannot take driver's training.
don't feel bad about it! i was the oldest one in driver's training. i graduated high school before i got my license! i didn't get my license until 2 weeks before my 18th birthday. |

from what it sounds like your parents are very smart people...and your not going to be able to change their minds...do you know the stats for car accidents for those that are driving at 16 and 17? just give it time |

You don't say how old you are. That may have something to do with it. You need to set down with both your mom and dad and have a talk. Be prepared, got good grades? bring that up. You should talk to them about how responsible you are. Give them examples. Ask them calmly what else you can do. Don't cry, Don't yell. Good luck. |

I hate to be the one who tells you this but do you have money for your own car? or for insurance? Driving is a privilege not a right and if your parents are making you wait they must have a good reason for it.
Kids should not be allowed to drive until they are 18 |

I know how you feel, when I was 16 my parents did not want to put me on the car insurance so none of them allowed me to take driver's ed. Do extra chores in the house & tell them you'll get a job to save for your own college education. That may help. |

really? geeze!
now, will they let you take the class in another year? is that the case?
is it a financial reason, or is it because they don't think your ready?
i took driver's ed a year later than everyone else, but that's because the classes were $300 and i'm a twin..and at the time of enrollment, we didn't have the extra $600 to do it.
but, it didn't phase me too much. with my friends haveing cars and liscences i was able to get around with them. and then when i got my liscence a year later, it was my time to do a little bit of bragging.. all out of bitter humor. my friends got a kick out of it.
tell your parents that they will just have to suffer the wrath of you needing rides all over the place for another year. |

is it because you sound like your four years old |

Tell her you need it just in case there is an emergency...another reason is, most places only accept a passport or drivers license as a form of identification.
How I know this? My daughter is 19 and she doesn't have a driver's license. It's a pain because we do not carry the passport around and there are times when we need it for identification and we would have to go home and get it. |

Are they waiting until you're 18?
After that you don't have to take training to take the test, and then you don't have to pay all that ridiculous money for it. There's nothing you can do if your parents say no, because you need their permission so you can't just take it yourself.
Try explaining to them how you feel about yourself. Crying makes you look like more of a baby and maybe you just need to show some maturity. |

Ask them why?Demand that they drive you every where. School etc. They will get sick of it. |

this happened to me too. i gave my mom (who was the one keeping me from getting the permit) the silent treatment for 4 whole months before she finally relented. Im sure you are at a point where no matter what your parents wont budge. In the end you are under there house and their is not much you can do about it. |

You don't say how old you are, so I'm going to guess you're around 16. I've been driving for a long time, and I can tell you, a lot of drivers are crazy. They don't look where they're going, they think they own the road, and a lot of them drive too fast, or under the influence. Their reasons may not have anything to do with you. Driving is a BIG responsibility, and it can be dangerous. The added cost of car insurance may be too much for them. The cost of the driver's education class may be expensive. Or maybe they think you aren't ready yet. There are a lot of reasons. You really need to try to understand what your parents' reasons are. Sit down, and calmly discuss it with your parents without freaking out and crying.

Why wont they let you? Tell them that you being able to drive will benefit EVERYONE. You can run errands, and drive yourself places instead of bugging them for a ride. |

talk to your school councilor and have her talk to your parents. but you have to convince her of your responsibility first. |
