Here I thought this was about personal security from predators!
To the OP: I agree with Dee that you should ask your family Rov, with your parents present so that both sides can be heard.
PAA: The Shulchan Aruch is not discussing girls, and for good reason. Girls (as others pointed out) have no mitzva of limud, and it is questionable if a year in Sem in EY is appropriate for a girl (especially after recent events). Kibbud would be based on causing your parents worry that their daughter is in a (in their minds) Makom Sakana (similar to why smoking or taking drugs is being over Kibbud Av (as per Rav Moshe Iggros YD chelek 3)).
