My boyfriend really wants me to go but we live around 4 hours away from each other. i am able to get there and his mum allows his mates and anyone to stay over so i can stay over but i need to find a way to ask my mum and dad and make sure they let me go because they treat me like i'm 2. i aint even allowed to be in the house by myself overnight. They know he is my boyfriend but they havent met him. i have met him though. the weekend the party is on is when my parents are away on holiday anyway so they would have to find a place for me to stay because I am not going so it would be okay if i stayed there so they dont have to find anywhere. how can i ask them or once i have asked them if they say no how can i get them to let me?

 What does it mean " I have met him though " ? If he is your boyfriend, of course you must have met him ! Oh wait. Don't tell me this is some LDR Internet -generated romance ? Ouch. In this case, your chances to convince your parents are close to zero. Even if they were not rather overprotective, I don't think the average parents would let their 16 y.o. daughter spend the night 4 hours away from home at the place of people they have never met or heard about or know anything about.
The only chance I see is if you involve directly your bf's parents. Like, if they call your parents to invite you officially and reassure them that it is just a little family party with no shenanigans going on and they will be there to sort of keep an eye on you as if you were their daughter etc. etc.
I don't say it will work because after all a voice on the phone is just a voice on the phone and offers no guarantee of reliability, but it is always better than nothing.
