My parents are forcing me to attend my schools end of year celebration. How can I convince them to reconsider?

either your trolling or your one of the most sophisticated and mature 9th graders ive ever heard of. Frankly i agree with your parents and urge you to reconsider and attend partys and your end of the year celebration. I understand how you feel about partying, dating and socializing that is not beneficial to you. However it is beneficial to your growth as a teenager, though you may already be mature for your age these milestones and experiences are things that help you mature and give you life experience that is beneficial to you. Especially dating even if your not looking to be married soon sometimes relationships in high school do work out to last for a long time and eventually into marriage. Both of you sharing first time experiences that other wise could be regretted later on because they were not with someone you trusted. Also going to partys and socializing with different groups and people in general give you the basis on how to handle dealing with different people. What to say and do in different situations that may show up later on in life as well as the fact that these are the times in your life that you are supposed to go out and experience new things with friends and make memories. Take it from someone who did what you did and focused on studying more rather than getting out and taking part in stuff like this. Youll look back and regret not celebrating with your peers, or going to prom, or going to partys. Because once you get older its harder and a lot less likely for you too be able to experience these things when you want too. So let loose and have fun because studying all the time and worrying about exams will stress you out and going out having fun will help you maintain stress levels and unwind relaxing you giving you the ability to do better and think clearer during exams.
