How do I convince my parents to let me lock my door?
Tell them you only want privacy for those times and not to lock your door all day. Just for dressing and undressing etc. Make sure you stick to it too and don’t keep your door locked all day long. I would be worried if a 12 year old had her door shut for times other than getting changed.

Should you lock the door when your child wants privacy?
A child shouldn’t be made to feel guilty because they want some privacy with their friends or while they are changing clothes. Truth is, everybody wants some privacy every once in a while.

The locked door, may just be one way that they retain some sense of control over their own space.
How do you ask someone to let you close the door?
If you’ve not done anything wrong, you could ask them to give you a chance to prove you can be trusted, by allowing you to close the door.

How do I convince my parents to let me go out?
Try to barter and keep it at a level that they will be comfortable with. If your parents don’t want you hanging around with the opposite sex (which is another issue, but relevant), assure them that there will be a lot of people going. If they don’t like you being out past a certain hour, see a movie and be back before that time.
