mom is too overprotective
my mom is way overprotective of me. i mean, i am her first born, only daughter (i have 1 sibling, a brother 4 years younger), and getting ready to graduate next year. i know hse is just scared for me, but she wont let me do alot of stuff. i mean, i dyed my hair from blonde to black a few months ago and she wont let me touch up my blonde roots (i look silly) and she wont even let me do silly little things...like i want to go and see the fireworks this year with my friends, instead of my family like it is every year. is there any easy way i can make my mom realize that im NOT a little girl anymore, i am 17 and ready to do stuff for myself and make my own desiciions?

my dad is like that he wont let me go out or nething. tell your mum that ya not a kittle girl and that u need to have a life. act calm and mature and she will let u have a life. she probally wants to make sure you r ready for the world and wot life throws at ya

Well,just tell her that you are growing up and let her set limits!I know it sounds babyish,but it will probably get you a lot more trust.Also set up certain rules and consequences! Trust me, it will work!

Well, of course your mother is going to get upset when you dont wanna go with the family specially on the firework thing. Your friends, my mom would be upset if I said I wanted to go see firewrks with my friends and not her. You should just accept the fact that she Loves you and is trying to worry about you. Mayb she just doesnt want you to get hurt. I used to hate when my mom did supid stuff like wouldnt lt me do anything but then I told her I was responsible and that I knew and understood why she was always so worried about me, but sometimes I needed my own time too..and my mom understood, and now I still hang out with my family, and still have time for my friends! Just dont push your mom away because she will always be thee no matter what!

You are old enough to do things with your friends at age 17. I'm glad that you realize that your mom loves you and is just showing concern for you. She probably questions some of your decisions after you decided to dye your blonde hair black. (I have gone through various colors myself!) If your mom is having a hard time letting you go because she wants you to be part of a tradition of seeing fireworks as a family, then ask her to compromise. Tell your mom you would like to have dinner with the family and ride with them to the fireworks. Once there, you would like to join your friends and go with them to watch the fireworks. If you are given a curfew to be home (and I'm sure you will be) stick to that time. If you fufill a promise or agreement, it builds trust and your mom will be more likely to listen to your suggestions. You can gain more freedom while making your mom feel at ease.

Well I have thew same problem but Im 13. My parents dont trust the people out there they say. I cant even cross the street without a walky talkie or them! All the advice I can give you right notw is just go with the flow. When your 18 you can do whatever you want by law ecept drink! Unless you stilll are living with them. I just take it step by step start with little thing like going to a mov ioe and work your way. Remember there are doing for the sake of your life and theres! Well I really hope I heped you with this! Also one more thing Dont try to do things behinde their back they alaways find out and you would lose all you worked for!
