Just tell your mom that you're 12 years old now and that you're smart, you know about that stuff. And you know what to do and what not to do. You just like some of the stuff on MTV and its not like you're going to do exactly what they do (example JACKASS lol). Start out watching like Newlyweds, Ashlee Simpson show, music videos and then maybe she'll let you start watching MTV. Just tell her its not all junk and you won't watch all the stuff on MTV (not everything on MTV is great lol). Hope that helps if you need any other help on this just post back and I'll try to help =P good luck hun!

Your mother is trying to let you grow up more slowly than everyone is pushing you into. MTV is not all terrible, but it isn't appropriate for a twelve year old who doesn't yet know what to do with all of the information thrown out by the music world. Its only goal is to sell music, no matter what You could see if she would watch it with you and explain why she believes you shouldn't watch it, but she probably won't. She will relax rules as you become mature enough to make your own choices. I realize that you already know something of sex and drugs, but you don't yet understand how bad those things can affect your life.
I used to sneak to a friends house to watch MTV. I wouldn't suggest it, but more things you do right the more privileges you get.

well i mean ... you cant really do nothing becase she is your mom so there for i would just say listen to her ... and plus MTV DONT HAVE JUNK ON IT what i would do in this case would be to like show her a GOOD episode so she will think mtv is good so like in that case let her watch somehing like boiling points .. that isnt bad .. to me at least

if you are 12, not to sound too mother-y, but there is some pretty innapropriate stuff on there sometimes. i know that you are not completely in the dark about sex and drugs, but your mom is just trying to sheild bad things from you. maybe if you really want to watch it, have a talk with her about what you know and maybe have her watch some shows with you to show her they aren't that bad . peace out

MTV isn't bad in my opinion. They do have those public service announcements though. Tell your mom a general idea of what you want to watch.

Tell her most parents that are over protective usually have kids that get older and do thigns just to piss their parents off, ask her to let you have some freedom

Tell your mom that you know about sex and drugs. Say that your smart and you know that what can haooen if you do that stuff, and your smart enough not to do it. Its just a TV channel and your old enough to watch it! And if that doesnt work, just watch it when shes not around, but dont get caught. Hoped i helped. Rate me plz*

The only thing you can do is tell her to have a talk with you about sex and drugs, otherwise she'll think that no one has told you about it. If you tell her you already know, she'll think it was because of MTV and stuff. Tell her that you just watch it for the music and not the graphics. I hope this helped
