If you say you're going to do something and your parents agree with it, do your best to follow through. If you tell them you're going to do something and do something else, you risk ruining trust. If you can prove to your parents that you can follow through with your plans, they will start to see you are more responsible and start to trust you more. Part of your parents' decision depends on what they think of the friend you want to sleepover with. In most cases however, their ultimate concern is your safety. They want to make sure you'll be taken care of. That's where the friend's parents come in. If your parents can put a name to a face, it will set their minds at ease when you ask to sleepover. If your parents don't already know your friend, it's a good idea to put a name to a face. By introducing them, your parents can see that your friend isn't near as bad as they may have feared. Even unruly friends tend to be well-behaved when other parents are around. Your parents will probably be trying to decide the sort of danger your friend may put you in. If your friend is known to be belligerent and irresponsible, you'll have a very hard time convincing them that it's a good idea to stay the night. By taking a leave from your own home, you need to take responsibility for yourself. That includes knowing to leave if you don't want to stay anymore. Even if it's late, your parents will probably be happy that you decided to call rather than sit through something unpleasant. If anything, it will prove to them that you can be trusted to call out a bad situation when you see one. For example, if you feel sick or don't feel comfortable spending the night anymore for whatever reason, call up your parents. Keeping your parents up to date with everything will make them feel more at ease. When you're either picked up or get home, talk to your parents a bit about how the sleepover was. What sort of stuff did you get up to? Was it fun? What was your friend's family like to be around? All of these can help show your parents that a sleepover is a healthy activity. Remember: You don't just want to make this sleepover work. You also want to ensure future sleepovers. Making it a pleasant experience for everyone involved will make sure you have the highest chance of more sleepovers.
