Answer 1

SAME, I'm 14 and I secretly painted my nails a pretty pastel blue. It was over a holiday, so my mom was ok with it. Before, my mom would never let me paint my nails because "it distracted me during school." I told her I was mature enough to not get distracted in school, so she let me keep it after the holiday was over. One week later, for some crazy reason, she decided that it would be a great idea to change her mind and tell me to take it all off. I'M A GIRL, AND I AGREE, I'M NOT TAKING DRUGS OR DYING MY HAIR FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, NAIL POLISH IS EVEN REMOVABLE!??!?!? She told me to get it all off because "no nail polish for school girls," everybody else paints their nails (but I'm not doing it to stay in the norm, I just like it because it's pretty.) Also, my grades have not been dropping or anything. The nail polish has NOT changed a thing or affected my school. She paints her nails, but tells me that "shes an adult" and I think her reason is ridiculous.

 Instead of painting your nails maybe you can paint your toenails and wear socks so your parents won't see it.

Answer 4

 My mom won't let me paint my fingernails any color because she says it makes me look older. I'm a 13 year old girl and I look nothing like a adult. I can't even sit in the front seat of a car! I wish I could grow up like a normal person! Ahhhhhhh!!!!! 

But in the end I love and respect my parents and have to fallow their rules. Good luck to you fellow kids in need.

my mom wont let me do anything if i paint my nails and she sees them she will say that they look ugly and make me look too old... and she will tell me to take them off or else im grounded, but my advice is that you paint it a color thats not really noticeable, thats what i do, and  then i kinda avoid showing my hands ha ha

I have the same problem but I am a 12 yo boy. I want to paint my toenails but my parents wouldn't like it. So I have my sitter do them with pinks and silvers.
