As harsh as it may sound - listen to your father. He is the one who has fed, clothed and raised you, and looked after your best interests all these years.
I can guarantee that raising YOU has been no picnic - no child ever is, and he is looking after your best interests still.
If he says "no" - he means NO for good reason. Who are we, (or indeed you) to go against that?
I agree with HIM because HE is correct - get a good education, then a good job. Superficialities like "We Will Rock You" can wait until you are older.
Then when you are gainfully employed, (or old enough if you are not) you can lead the life you truely wish to lead.
BTW Corrin Davis: Frankly, be thankful I am NOT your dad, as I would not trust ANY teenage daughter of mine who was so eager to give out personal information such as name, destination and "...cell-phone number, or address, or somthing..." so freely to strangers over the internet.
Indeed, I think such mails would be the nightmare most parents fear.

Is there anyone here that would be able to help me get enough money to see "We Will Rock You" in Auckland...? The only way my parents will let me do it is if I catch a tour buss there and back, and the best price that I can find is $230...
I'm only at high-school, so there is no way I have that kind of money (and I don't have much chance of earning it, eaither, because according to dad, jobs and edication don't mix)....
So, please, please, please, and if anyone is interested in helping a poor, passionate, teen Queenie, then reply here, and I will give you my cell-phone number, or address, or somthing.
Much love, F.M (AkA- Corrin Davis)
Get a weekend job and save up.
Although to be fair, if I had $230, I would not be spending it on going to see WWRY, it's one of the worst musicals I've seen.
John is absolutely correct. Obey your father's decision, he only wants what is best for you. I would also suggest NOT giving out personal information on the World Wide Web. You would not only be putting yourself in danger, but you would also be putting your family in danger.

Yes. And furthermore, just think about what your Dad is going thru right now.
His son, the one that's supposed to be carrying his legacy, the family name, has just informed his Dad that the most important thing in his teenage life right now is to GO SEE A MUSICAL.
Hopefully you have a brother.
You can't afford the cash and your father wont let you earn it so you immediately start begging. Have you even considered any of the alternatives? Why not sell some of your own possesions to raise the cash. Or you might consoder selling one of your organs on the black market. I hear a healthy kidney can be worth up to £1,000 these days. Crime is another easy way to raise a few quid. Old ladies in particular always carry a lot of cash and rarely put up much of a fight so why not follow an old girl down a quiet side street and kick her to death before running off with her purse. Living in Australia, you could always become a drug mule. I hear that certain folk will pay handsomely if you agree to fly to Thailand and back with a couple of kilos of skag up your arsehole. Or you could prostitute yourself charging ten dollars or so for a handjob, you'd have the cash in a couple of nights that way.
Try out a few of these and if you still haven't raised enough for the show, come back and we'll see if we can't help you out.
Your pal
fatty.

Do you even realize how dangerous it is for you to post a thread like this? Some rapist is going to come and say that they can meet you up somewhere and pay you, when really they're going to pull you into a trap and rape you. If I were you, I would just forget about any help from most-likely online predators, and sell some of your old stuff, or get a weekend job. Maybe even get a friend to buy two tickets and tell your dad you were invited. Then you can pay him or her back when you've come up with the money, if you don't have the time to make it now.
I can't see how donations would help you...
Unless you're a girl and you'll need some blades to shave your face MANY times until your moustache gets thicker, or maybe buy hormones...
