Say, mom dad, I need to talk to you… actually, I need to tell you something, and I would appreciate it if you would sit down and just listen to me until I’m completely done talking, then at the end, if you have any questions or concerns, we can address them then. As adults, your parents will be pleased to see and hear you asking them for this. They most likely will co-operate, but if they don’t and they try to talk when you’re not done, tell them, please remember the rules, I’d appreciate it if you’d wait until I’m done talking to speak. Then make sure you voice your opinion and say whatever you gotta say, be sure to have reasoning behind whatever it is you’re trying to get across to them. If they disagree with whatever you say, ask them if you can compromise instead of being completely blown off. Make sure you’re willing to compromise too though, it goes both ways.

If there have been heated arguments on the subject, let some time pass.
Then make an appointment to talk to them.
Choose a time that is convenient for them and when everyone will be relaxed, refreshed and not rushed.
Sit around the table. Calmly tell them your point of view on whatever issue you want to address. Give them reasons that support your point of view. Use notes so you don’t forget anything or get flustered.
Be “part of the solution” rather than “part of the problem.” For example, if you want to go to Europe, give them a proposal of the dates, cost, who you will be going with, how you will keep yourself safe and how you intend to raise the money to pay for it.
When you’ve finished expressing your point of view, ask them if they have any questions. Answer their questions calmly and whatever you do, DO NOT raise your voice. If you do not know the answer to one of their questions let them know you will research it and get back to them.
Conclude by thanking them for the family meeting. DO NOT ask for a response/answer on the spot. Be patient, give them time to absorb what you’re saying, to discuss it with one another in private and to marvel at your new-found maturity. 🙂
Good luck!

you must speak in a reasonable tone and pay attention to how they react

basically sell your idea to them like why you should be aloud to see the concert like ive been working so hard, this will be my first concert who better to go with than my best friend who you know so well, i should be aloud to drive i gotta learn sometime.
Before you try to persuade first think of all the reasons why you should (the good) & reasons you should not (the bad) & things your parents might say (the ugly) so youre prepared to get your voice heard however do so without raising your voice believe me they ll listen.

Ask your parents to sit down with you, either in your room or at the kitchen table. Turn off all radios, tvs, cell phones, etc.
Ask them to listen to what you have to say and not to make judgment or tell you what they think until you are done speaking your point of view.
If your parents are unwilling to listen to you, maybe you should try and talk with your grandparents, pastor, priest, friends parents and then take them with you the next time you want to chat with your parents.
