What to do if a couple of months ago my mom and dad said that I could visit my biological father but now they are saying that I can’t?

Can I visit him still or no? I am 15, almost 16.

I can surely understand how upset you might be about this but if your parents will not let you travel to see him then you may have to abide by their wishes.  They are your parents and legal guardians.  They may not be opposed to his visiting you, though, closer to home and where they can make sure that it is the best situation for you.  Maybe that is their concern here besides the obvious one of traveling.  Speak with them calmly about it all.  Good luck.
