I'm thirteen years old and female. For much of my life, I have been wearing clothes that I feel are too feminine, and I want to wear things that are more masculine.

Whenever I shop for more clothes (which I honestly don't do often), I stick to the girls' section, because that's what my mom probably wants me to do. But everything in the girls' section is too feminine. I always find myself glancing toward the guys' section and hoping that I can wear clothes from there instead.

I've tried bringing up this topic to my mom a couple of times. But she always says, "No, your clothes aren't too girly. They're fine." She doesn't like it much when I talk about this either. And it's hard for me to bring this up anyway.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is, how can I tell my mom that I would feel more comfortable wearing clothes that are more masculine?

Thanks for any advice! (link)
I have a feeling your mom is having difficulty understanding why you wish to wear guy clothing. I would try addressing that issue in particular. If she is unwilling to have a conversation about it; than I would do as the other reply stated and save up your own money and purchase the clothes you would like to wear. It's better to use this as a last resort as undoubtedly your mom may be a little upset but it will force the conversation to the forefront.
