hey. im ashley and im 13 years old [going into 8th] i havent been through everything but i can help you with a lot!

advice

my mom is kinda a control freak...
She won't let me shop with anyone but her. .not my dad, any of my friends.. or anyone.
She has to even be in the same department with me...
I only have a pair of jeans and two pairs of (very very ugly) capris that don't fit right.. so I really need to go shopping. She always says that she's too busy or that i don't need anything. I keep explaining to her that I need to go shopping because I am lacking in things to wear.. and she always makes up excuses. I'm also afraid that if we go shopping that she won't let me wear what I want to wear (low rise jeans and form-fitting baby t's) because she wants me to wear things from the girls section still. And when we went into aeropostale (once) she made me buy everything a size too big so I pray that it will shrink. I just don't want to look like i'm too poor to buy clothes.
HELP ME!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!
13/f (if it helps size 1/3 and shirts small)

try to explain to your mom how you feel about things..tell her you need more clothing and that you feel like you can not make any of your own decisions..maybe go online and pick out some different clothes that are inexpensive,print it out and let her know what you are thinking... anymore questions im here! -ashley

OMGG I realllllly wanna go to the Fall Out Boy concert and my sister just told me that she was going...FOR FREE..How can I get my mom/dad to bring me?????
PLEASE HELP I'LL RATE 5''S FOR almost ANYTHING!!
THANKS IN ADVACNE

deffinately DO NOT SAY ITS NOT FAIR!! that is what will make them not want to take you!! try acting really really responsible around the house and after like a week or so ask them once and tell them... i really would like to go to the concert and i was wondering if i was allowed..please think about it and then let them think, but DO NOT keep asking them because thats just annoying to them and they will want to say no!! -ashley

My little brother can be extremely annoying. I dont want to tell him to go away, but somtimes i lose my temper. I hate yelling but he just deserves it so much!!!! How do i get my mom to relize that he's the monstor not me and to start dishing out the punishment to the right person????

He has chased me around with knives, hit me, refused to let me eat, and done countless other things! He really hurts my feelings.

What do i do?

I rate 5's!

okay well everyone knowes little sibblings can be really annoying so first when your little brother isn't around talk to you parents and tell them how you feel about this and if that doesnt work when he comes to chase you or bother you try and distract him with things he likes like hey i think your favorite tv show is on or something like that and you could also try threating to kiss him cause i know boys HATE that (well younger ones at least lol) -ashley

ive been wanting a cell phone for so long. and dont think i havent tried getting one. ive had the money and saved it, i even offered to pay for one. i wrote a whole 1 page essay on why i wanted one, how i used it, and if i did something wrong they could take it away. im on computer like 24'7 so i told them it would occupy my time and i wouldnt be on as much. but NOTHING has worked.
is there anything else left to try!?

okay well a lot of kids tend to have this problem one thing you can do is instead of reminding them of it[which is just annoying]you can start acting VERY responsible around the house like cleaning up after yourself and doing all your chores and that might make them relize that hey she is really responsible and i think that now we can trust her with a phone and hopefully that will work but NEVER keep bothering them about it because that will just want them to keep on putting it off. -ashley

my grandma recently past away, & i love my grandpa i just don't know what to talk to him about can someone give me ideas?

im really sorry about what happened! i no its hard and the same thing happened with my grandma.. but eventhough you think that you will hurt your grandfathers feelings by talking about it.. you will actually make him feel better.. how? well by letting him know that you can talk about it with him is sort of a comforting thing because he knowes he can tell someone and let the pain out other than keeping it in which is much worse...at first this might sound like a bad idea but giving him almost a shoulder to lean on is so much better than having him keep it inside... again im sorry about the loss
