Okay well I know how your mom can be overprotective. But alot of moms are they just want the best for you. Tell her if i go to boarding school I will be safe. You wont have to worry about getting into trouble. You will be able to concentrate and stay focused. Maybe you can get some of your friends parents to talk to your mom. This may convince your mom to breakdown and say yes. Your mom can always visit you! good luck =) xo

Ok, this is what you do. So, just sit her down at the table one night and talk to her. Tell her that you're growing up and you need your space. You cant be babied forever and she needs to face the facts that you're not a baby anymore who needs your mom to scare the monster out of the closet every night. I mean, you might be going to college and you just want to be prepared to be able to leave your parents for a while. Tell her that you'll be safe and maybe you can write her a letter weekly? I hope I helped.

Tell your mom that you can't be her little child anymore and that you are old enough to make your decisions and that you shouldn't be treated like a baby. If I told my mom that I wanted to go to boarding school, she would be the happiest person ever, since she wants me out of the house and wouldn't care how much it costs. Tell your mom that it's time for you to make a change in your life that you need to be independent. Also tell her that boarding school would make an inpact on your life somehow.


To convince your mom into letting you date, talk to her and tell her that you are old enough to know who and not to go out with and that it's time for you to start dating. Tell her that you are older and you know what to expect in life when it comes to dating and so on. Just explain to her your reasonings on why you want to start dating and I'm sure she will let you.


You should tell your mom that it's time for her to face the fact that you are older and that you are going to be making your own decisions, whether or not she knows about them. Tell her that you can't be her little child anymore, where she treats you like one. Things will change, once you talk to your mom.


Hope I helped :)

I think that you should tell your mom that your not a baby anymore and that you want to make your own decisons. You need to show her that you are more responsible than she thinks and maybe she will give you abit more confidence than the one she already has for you. I mean show her that you can take care of yourself.

probably my advice is not very the best, but i feel that sometimes there have to be a storm before the rainbow can come up. Just be firm and consistent about wanting to go to a bording school, tell her how bad u want to go and why. your mom is probably going to get angry and doesn't want you to bring up the subject. But you have to show her how bad you want to go to boarding school by keep bringing up the subject. AND let her know how much you appreciate and love her for being overprotective of you, but you want to expirience what's it like to be outside of the house, to be independant.... or something like that..... about the dating stuff, once you in boarding school, you'll figure it out :) lemme know how it goes if you decide to take my advice
