Dear Mom and Dad:
Don’t you get frustrated when you have four kids that need to be chauffeured and they all have a place to be at the same time? There is a perfect solution to this; let others especially teenage friends who can drive, drive me around. First, it gives me an opportunity to be more social. Second, it gives you more time to yourself because you don’t have to chauffer me around. I believe that you should let me be in the car with other teenagers and a teen driving because I can be more social and you would get more time to yourself.
Now you might say this is too risky. Most automobile accidents happen with a teenager in the car and when they are driving. You might also think that if you are not the one driving you won’t know exactly where I am. There are easy solutions to these concerns. First let me have a cell phone that way you know where I am at all times and second trust me and give me an opportunity to be responsible. Also we could set boundaries so I am safer when the teenager is driving. With these solutions the problems aren’t as great.
Letting me in the car with a teenage driver gives me an opportunity to be social. Are you not always saying, “Andrea you need to socialize more, go hang out with some friends”? Well letting other teenagers drive me around would be a perfect opportunity. I’d get to go to more places and meet new friends. There would never be an excuse that I couldn’t get a ride because my parents couldn’t drive me. Socializing helps both you and me out. First, I am not in the house as much so you don’t have to worry about me. Most importantly however, I would develop more. This is one of the reasons to consider for letting other teenagers drive me.
You also benefit from this because you would get more time to yourself. “How?” you might ask. Well, first you wouldn’t have to chauffer me around. This gives you more time to yourself to look for a job or spend more time with the other kids and it takes me off your hands. You will also get more time to help the other children. Most importantly, I won’t be home to cause trouble with the other kids. I have shown in the past months that I can be responsible and trustworthy. I believe that this benefits you and you should let this happen.
Mom and dad, I know you want me to socialize more and I know that it sometimes annoys you to drive me around. By letting me be driven by other teenagers all these problems could be fixed. Please let me be driven by other teenagers because I could socialize more and it would give you more time to yourself because you wouldn’t have to chauffer me.
From your loving daughter,
Andrea Hunt
