"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes to simply be human. Maybe, we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."

I know what it's like to have a mother you get along with. First I would like to say, try and work it out with your mom. But if that's not possible, is there anyone you can stay with, an aunt, uncle, grandparent? If emancipation is the only option left, then go for it. You'll need to go to your courthouse and discuss things with them, because I'm unsure of the exact process. I know that it's a lot of work and it's a long process. I know what it's like to not get along with your mom and I once tried to get emancipated from my mother, but we worked things out and things between us are really good right now. But, whatever you decide to do, I hope everything works out for you. Good luck with everything and hang in there!

I'm 13/f, and I have an overprotective mom. She can't leave me home alone for 15 minutes. I was going to my friend's house. I told my mom that my friend's babysitter was going to be there, which was true, and my mom didn't believe me. She followed me to my friend's door and STUCK her head into the house, and looked around. I was SO embarrassed. She could have at least asked my friend if her mom was home or something. And I'm going to my friend's house soon and I'm so scared that my mom will follow me to the door again. My mom never used to be so overprotective. HELP!! How do I get to calm her nerves down? I live in a town where nothing bad has ever happened. (link)

Trust me, I know what it's like to have an overprotective mom, I mean, I'm 18 and she calls every five minutes to make sure I'm ok. But like everyone else said, you are 13 and she has every right to worry about you, however, I do agree that her behavior is a bit much. You might want to try talking to her and letting her know how you feel. Let her know that you appreciate her concern and that you understand she worries but there has to be a balance. Reassure her that she can trust you, but that she also needs to learn to let you grow up. But, don't be in such a hurry to grow up and remember in today's society, your mom has every right to worry. Just talk to her and hopefully things will get better. Hope everything works out for you!!
