for may long weekend. I have a ride out there and there will be a lot of us and everyone is pretty responsible. The only drinking would be done by those who are already 18(legal age here) or older, I'm 16, but most of them are 18 or older. She knows my friends, she trusts them, she is just weird about this one thing and I think it's because when I was hanging out with a different group of people who did a lot of drugs like coke(I never did, I took care of everyone) I got raped, but these are different people, several of my best friends(people that date back to age 12) will be in attendance and I'm the only one who's parents are even iffy about it, not even the other 16 year olds invited seem to be having trouble getting permission. I'm a bit offended because I've always proven myself responsible. Is there anything I can say or do to help along the process of getting permission?
