Question

{You would like to attend a concert with some of your friends. Although your parents have allowed you this privilege before, this concert is different than the others. This concert is on a school night and you are unsure your parents are going to allow you to go.}
Which form of communication would be the most appropriate way to ask your parents for this privilege?

A. Email them your reasons and explain that you don't see why a
concert on a school night should be any different than any other night.

B. Leave a note on the kitchen table right before leaving for the concert and then hope that your family is asleep when you come home.

C. Write out a contract stating that your homework will be done before the concert and you will not miss school the next day. Present the contract to them in person when you ask permission to go.

D. Have your friends' parents call your parents to explain why they are allowing their children to go. Ask your parents to please allow you to go since everyone else has already been given permission.

Answer 1

C is the most appropriate the others will lead to conflict with parents. the first one seems to risky, because you sound like you're going to do something wrong. B is breaking the rules especially if you know it's a school night and the last one is using other people to support yourself. that isn't very professional.
