Ok, NOBODY "makes" you take or not take somebody to a prom. It's your decision. Are you afraid your parents are gonna spy on the dance and see that you took somebody else and ground you?

Hollywood Godz and j.d. enter the Prom. Hollywood Godz: Everyone's staring at us. j.d.: They're just noticing how beautiful you are. We go out to a party somewhere The moment we walk in the door People stop and everybody stares He don't know what they're staring for Godz don't know he's beautiful never crossed his mind Godz don't know he's beautiful no hes not that kind Godz dont know hes beautiful Though time and time i've told him so Even though you have forever tainted that song for me by singing it about Godz... j.d., I love ya man.

I was gonna say something like that. I mean, why the hell are you worried about your parents? What's the worse they can do? Screw your parents and start taking responsibility for your own damn life!

I don't want to sound insensitive here, but what's the story with your parents? Why do they have so much control over you? Do you come from a religious family or just some family with severe control issues (which I can fully understand believe me).
I don't know you very well, so I'm completely clueless about your back story.
How old are you?
I'm not making fun or trying to be a smartass - I'm just curious.

Even at 25, my Mum and Dad still think they can control me - sure, I appreciate their advice and assistance - but I don't even live with them anymore!
My Mum used to work for the Police, so I got the overly paranoid parent syndrome spiel from her until I was 16 or so. She used to look through my belongings and read my books / poems and write comments on them!
Still, despite all this, I never really rebelled against them, I just got out of their way - the best way if you ask me.

So it has nothing with me being a large man? Well it didn't seem to deter you from me..... Hey! Godz! I promised you we'd be a committed, long term thing, and now all this with j.d? I'm hurt man.

SRFB, I'm gonna repeat some words of wisdom I offered to you a month or so ago in your "girl issues" thread.
If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll always get the same result. Don't expect something different from the same behavior.
By the way, I thought you had finished HS? The parental issues you are having sound a bit on the extreme side. A lot of control and manipulation, along with favoritism.
That said, honestly you need to stand up for yourself in a respectful way. You post in Off Topic a lot either 1.) complaining about girls or 2.) complaining about your parents.
There is a distinct pattern here. Have you done anything to bring this iron-fistedness by your folks upon yourself?
You seem like a decent kid but situations change all the time.
Quit dwelling on the misery you're in and focus on how you can make it better. If your parents are that controlling then I think you'll have to earn their trust and hopefully they will loosen the reins on you.
PM me if you need more.

Ok, I'll spare you the annoying (but in some rare cases very much appropriate, and this is clearly one of those) MAN UP line, because I'm a nice guy.
BUT
Jesus Franklin Christ, again with the prom girl?
You should have said NO when they "proposed" you to go with that girl. Standing up for yourself in a "serious" issue about your life doesn't mean being a brat or a ungrateful son or anything like that.
They basically decided your date without taking into account your plans, and that's a despicable lack of respect ((c) Lex Luger) coming from a parent.
Then again you did nothing (or not enough) to change it, so now you got to live with it.
About the "they favour my sister" thing, sorry buddy but that's how it works with siblings. Either you're The Golden One, or you're the Other One.
Bottom line: what's done is done, try to learn from it so next time you can tell them NO and have it your way.

Judging by a lot of what you've said in the past. I do think you have a problem standing up for yourself. Dont let anyone walk all over you. You're not being disrespectful to your parents by disagreeing with them. But a major part of growing up is making your own decisions. The longer you put that off the longer its going to take you to develop a steady stream of self confedence and success.
