Hey, OP here. I couldn't fit everything inside the 300-character limit, so I'll just explain it here. She says we don't have the money to go, which currently we don't, but she refused all of my fundraising ideas and made me take down my GoFundMe page, and since she doesn't let me get a job either, I'm stuck with no way to pay for it. I've tried again and again to get her to let me go, but she won't let me. I want to live in Japan as an adult, and this trip might be the only chance I'll get before making that decision. She also says she's concerned about my "safety," although we have 24/7 support, a bilingual tour guide with us at all times, and one adult chaperone per six students. I really cannot convince her otherwise, so I guess I just can't go. It was nice getting all of your supportive comments, and I look forward to being able to go as an adult.

Yesterday’s Hokkaido earthquake isn’t going to help your case either.
At least you know she loves you...

I’ve heard of Helicopter parenting, but to not let your kid make their own money for the trip of a lifetime is just the worst parenting at all. Why doesn’t she let you work for it?
If I could support you, I would. I’d sell my nasty relatives (and only the nasty ones) for a chance to go to Japan. Good luck kiddo.

This honestly really angers me. You're given one chance to go with a group of people you all know on a trip to Japan, and she blows it. She really shouldn't have the power to dictate that decision for you.
Just WTFing F? Won’t let you get a job? Won’t let you be a responsible adult? Holy mother of control freak

North Korea isnt stupid enough to do that. It would mean the end of North Korea.
Tell her she'll be safe 20 floors below sea level in a bunker. and don't forget, like Bert the turtle says, Duck and Cover

Jackass.
Your mother should follow the news. According to his best friend Donald, Kim Jong-Un won't send any nuclear missile.
Dude, mom's like that are easy to control. Just respond with "If you refuse for me to get a job to be able to pay for this opportunity myself, then I don't have to take care of you in your old age either. Your choice"

Listen to your mom! Kim Jung-Un will take the opportunity to eliminate another dictator-for-life, even if you’re just the Dear Leader of a high-school club.
I just came back. It's fine, the weather in Kansai was the real threat. Your mum needs to chill. My mom did something similar when I was a child about Europe, and you'll never forgive them for that at least if they don't cool it.
