 Re: My dad’s being unreasonable!  By: Lion King>> Tuesday, December 3, 20 _ at 8:30 P.M.  
Current mood: I'm so up set!  This afternoon I had my birthday party and all my close friends came to my house. We were playing some games when Dad came back from work. He looked shocked when he saw T.’s dyed hair and ripped jeans. I think T. felt uncomfortable, so he said goodbye to all of us and left. After the party, Dad told me T. could be a bad influence on me and I should stop being friends with him. He said a good student should not dye his hair and should dress properly. 
I think Dad is being unreasonable. He should not judge my friends by their looks. T. is one of the best students in my class, but he wants to look different. His dream is to become a famous actor and film director. He is very talented and has already acted in a few films. I can`t stop being friends with someone just because my father doesn`t like them. 
I wish that my parents would allow me to stay out until 10 o'clock in the evenings. How can I make my parents change their mind?
