Question

my mom is super over protective

like she wont let me dye my hair or pierce my ears again or go 2 the mall without an adult and she wont let me have myspace she says that shes doing it for my own good but is there a nice way 2 tell her 2 buzz off and let me learn from my own mistakes i feel like she won't trust me and its getting really old

help please!

Answer 1

Prove to her that your a smart responsible kid and that she doen't need to worry because you know better, your not like those other kids.

Answer 2

depends on how old you are.

if your 12, wait a year.

if your 14, moms need to get a life.

i agree with the above answer. and tell her to quit watchin the d**n news, and believing everything she reads in the paper. just because you have a myspace page and some earrings, isnt the gateway to tramphood. tell her that its important for you to express yourself in your own way, its important to fit in, shes holding you back socially, and thats a form of child abuse, promise you wont cross the line, tell her she raised you better than that.  

Answer 3

my mother was the same way with me until i moved out about a month ago. i dont know how old you are, but it depends on age. i tried telling my mom to let me learn from my own mistakes, but that never works. Really what does work is that you gotta stop fighting her. You just have to prove her wrong. Prove that you are responsible and respectful and maybe that will work. but dont yell at her or fight with her about it, because that just shows how much of a child you are. act like an adult, you'll get treated like one.

Answer 4

kick her in the shin and run like h**l

Answer 5

Your mom is only protecting you. At 13 your still a child, and yes you might be super responsible.. but are you responsible enuff..? Dont rush growing up.. youve got plenty of time for pierced ears and  hair dye.. i think 13 is to young to dye your hair.. and as far as myspace.. it is no place for a 13 year old.. and your mother is smart enuff to know this.myspace can be dangerous.. your mother smothers you bc she loves you and dosnt want to see you get hurt or make mistakes she did.. and at 13 your not yet a adult so not much you can do about her rules and what u can and cannot do.. im sure over time as you get older she will ease up and allow u to do more.. seems hard now, but your moms only doing whats right for you even tho u dont see it that way..
