How can I get the money/permission to study abroad?

i have been offered several times to go to europe with an educational group but my parents always say no. i understod when i was in middle school but i am almost a junior and feel ready. how do i convince them i am mature enough to go?





also, both of my parents make 100,000$ plus a year yet they say we dont have the money to pay for the trip (about 5,000$ paid over a year) any ideas on how to earn money quickly so they might pay the diiference?

lucky! lol





make sure that they can trust you- do things that SHOW this. Talk to them with a cool and collected mind. Think about what you want to say and how you are gonna say it. If they refuse, dont throw a tantrum (no matter how tempting it may be- i know from experience), and dont yell at them. Ask them WHY and how come?





As for the money issue, if u are a junior, then you prob have a job? Save some money. Ask if they can LOAN you the money- it dosent seem like that much for them if they're earning tons of money.





Good luck!
Reply:Sit down and talk to them! That the only way you can do it. I had to show my parents I was responsible enough to go to a University right out of High School. I had the grades and stuff, they just didnt know if I was ready. SO I prayed to God (which was very helpful) wrote out a list of reasons why I should go. The wrote a response they might come up with that you be negative and made sure I had a respons for that. IT WORKED! And they were very proud of the way I handeled things. Also, if you can get some teachers to back you up, you can set up a meeting with them and you parents and present your case infront of them. That was my second plan but I didnt need it.





I know someone who was offered a trip like a sudy abroad, but for some leadership thing to CHina. His family had a fun rasier at his house and raised the money to go, and it worked. The sold food, and charged for the jumper thing and all kind of stuff. You can do like a silent auction, etc. And invite ALL you family and friends.





I personally dont like hand me downs, but if it is the only way you can get there, and you really want it, GO FOR IT. You only live once! This is a chance of a life time. I HOPE YOU GET TO GO!





You should let me know if you get to go, because I'll probably be wondering about you! hahaha!





Later!
