My mom doesn't let me go anywhere without her?
I am 14 years old and i can't go out without my mom.She doesn't let me go anywhere alone-to school, to the mall.If i go with friends to the mall, she will hang in the mall too (not with us).I tried to explain to her in the most kind way, that because of her i don't have any friends (i didn't said that, but i told her that i feel like i am locked from the life).My mom usually drops me and picks me up from school, so the other day we were going to the mall after school.One girl from school that i talk with asked me if i want to go with her.I told her about my situation with my mom and she asked if we could just walk to the mall together (the mall is less then five minutes away from our school).I called and asked my mom, she said no.Then she explained that she didn't know that girl and she left me at school and she was going to pick me up from school too. We have talked about this problem a lot, but nothing changed.Next year i will be 15 and i will still have to go everywhere with my mom.
Im 15 and my mom won't let me go anywhere?
Honey you and my daughter it sounds are a lot in the same boat.My oldest daughter is 12 almost 13 and she has a younger sister that is two about to be three in a week.I do make my daughter do a lot around the house only because I want her to be an independant woman when she gets older. So I am trying to teach her the ropes now.I would also like for her to make a good wife one day.She asks me all the time to do things with her friends and I always tell her NO.The reason is because I love her so much and dont want to see anything bad happen to her. I want hre to finish her education and become something one day. And I dont want her to become involved in drugs/alcohol. Or be influenced by her peers into doing something that she'll regret the rest of her life.And that we cant take back. When you grow up honey you will understand we "mom" are only doing this because we love you and want the best for you..I know thats hard for you to understand but one day you will be thankful that you have a mom that cares as much as she does..It will get better,and all the things that you are dying to be able to do,you will have your chance as you still have a long life to live sweetie. Take care and always remember your mom loves you and moms know best for our children. We were your age once..were only trying to look out... Stay safe and good luck
I'm almost 16 and my mom won't let me go anywhere, how can I convince her to let me?
I was sexually abused from the age of 11 and raped at 14. As a result, I was terrified that the same thing would happen to my girls and was overly protective of them. Is it possible your mother has experienced something herself and she doesn’t want anything similar to happen to you? It may be time for an open conversation. Do it when you are calm and rational. Be mature about this and willing to openly listen to her point of view and her fears. Say things from your perspective using “I” statements e.g. “I feel like you don’t trust me when you say I can’t go anywhere. Please help me to understand why I’m not allowed to go and see my friends when they are allowed more freedom? I know you love me and want me to be safe but I need to know you trust me because if you can trust me, I will show you I can be trusted.”Ask her what she is afraid will happen. LIsten carefully and allay her fears calmly. If it doesn’t work, suggest going to a counselor together. An intermediary may be able to help your mother understand that restricting you too much is counter-productive.Please don’t rebel but rather work on winning your mother’s confidence and overcoming her fears. Remember this is her way of showing you she loves you and doesn’t want harm to come to you.
My Mom Doesn't Let Me Go Anywhere W/ Friends?
Maybe you can enlist the help of another relative who could talk to your mom for you? It doesn't seem that your talking to her is doing any good. This is a tough one because even if you go to a relative for help your mom may get angry because you went outside of your immediate family, meaning her. Maybe instead of talking to her you good write her a nice letter telling her how you feel. That way she couldn't interrupt or argue with you and you have the chance of completing your thoughts If you do this, make sure you word it very carefully so she won't use it against you later if you slip up and say something mean.
My parents let me have a boyfriend, but won't let me go anywhere with him. How do I get them to loosen up?
EDIT: I'm 16, totally responsible, never did ANYTHING out-of-line, and get a 4.0 GPA each and every year. The guy I'm "dating" shares all of my interests and is sooo incredibly mature and respectful. Thanks you MASS MOUNTS for all of your answers and concern. It really means a lot to me. :)
How can I help my mother let go of control now that I am in college?
I really don’t know, but if I were in your shoes, I would get moving on to what I wanted to do with my life. I would probably tell my mom less about what I was doing. The less she knows, the less she can control.That said, who is paying the bills? Your bills? If she’s paying the bills, make sure your college degree and everything you do in college is about getting you a good paying job. Don’t think it’s about fun first. College isn’t an investment in fun. It’s an educational investment to increase your future earnings. If she sees that you understand that she will have comfort and less stress. And you will know in the future her wallet will have no control over you.
My parents wont let me go out late, HELP?

My mother doesn't let me go out on weekends, what should I do?
If you are really want to know and want to follow what is relatively correct, then here it is!You should follow her instructions blindly. Here is why if i say so:Any parents would not say no so their children for hangouts provided with a very good scoring in academics. hence it is clear that you are a below/average student in academics.No parents are against the wishes of their children. because, for parents nothing comes first than their children. I bet you, if there is a food which can serve only one, then your parents would be more than happy to serve you that food and stay hungry through out the day. That’s the love of parents.Now coming to the most important thing: Either give utmost importance to your education and leave your every enjoyment till completion of your studies which may be 2–3 years i guess and then enjoy your whole life with pride and satisfaction since you have studied hard and you will have a good job in hand where you will have a decent life ahead for your rest of your life.Else, enjoy yourself for next 2–3 years by having outing while you are nearing to exams and then live your rest of your life by working in a small companies with a very limited income source since you do not have the required qualifications as you did not gave a heed to the importance of education for the last 3 years.You decide where you want to study hard for 3yeras and live life like king for your rest of your life or enjoy now and regret for the rest of your life.What parents says is for your own betterment. Best of Luck.
