O.k. Jess, I don't Know wat the answer is, but if you find a Teen bible, you could get the answer from GOD, trust me it really worked when I thought my parents were overprotective with me, hope you take my advice.

Im not sure how old you are or how stirct your mom is but try to reason with her. Tell her all the *grownup* things you have down before for example you could use babysitting. You need to tell your mom the truth and that she is being over protective. Just tell her the truth and be honest! I hoped i helped! good luck:) xoxo BLONDE911

i know how you feel, but she is protecting you, maybe she had some troubles when she was younger and she doesnt want them to happen to you. my parents were and stil are super protective of me, and i know that a tun of band things would have happened to me if the wernt. bad as in, sexual stuff, losing virginity (possibly) drugs, alcahol, ect. so im glad that they were like that, even though i wasnt at the time. just try and see what it will e like in the future, im sure that this isnt what you wanted to hear, but its all i know, from my own experience, so that is all that i have to share with you, and i hope that i helped!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hope I helped--

ok first.. this completely depends on how old you are.. and treasure your innocents, because you only have it once in your life. When your older you'll be wishing your younger, hold dear these times that life is carefree without worrying about paying for a place to sleep or how you are going to be able to pay for food that day.

R-rated movies are supposed to be for 17 year-olds, unless you have someone with you. And it is so easy to sneak out. And if you're like 18...shouldn't you move out already?

poisonkissesox answered Sunday March 6 2005, 12:16 pm:
How old are you? Maybe the reason she won't let you have a boyfriend or watch R-rated movies is because she doesn't think you're mature enough for that stuff yet.

How old are you? When you get older you'll be able to watch the crap you want. Or think up some good reason as to why you should be able to do it. Then write her a page those reason, and now that you wrote a small essay, she might get wowed and let you go. Im seriouse about that too, it worked for me.

Sit down and talk with your mom tell her you are growing up and she needs to understand that everyone else is allowed to have boyfriends and watch rated R movies. Tell her with a boyfriend you aren't going to do anything bad like have sex.

sit down with your mom calmly and talk to her. Tell her that if she protects you from everything now then you wont know what to do when you get older. You wont be able to get through life on your own and that you will always depend on her for everything, and if she says that thats what she wants then let her know that thats not what you want! hope I helped!

KimRose answered Sunday March 6 2005, 9:30 am:
I would sit down and talk to you're mom one on one about how you feel. Point out how responsible you are (and if you aren't then start doing things around the house that'd be useful i.e.: making your bed, cleaning your room, taking out the trash etc.) explain to her that you need a little more independance and you don't feel that she is giving that to you. I hope i helped in some way!

aSk_M3_90 answered Sunday March 6 2005, 9:23 am:
Get real and deal cuz your mom loves you and mostlikely shes just trying to protect you. If you havent seen the moovie then how do you know if its good or not. And as for a boy friend you should ask your mom if you can have a b/f. You really like this guy and your mom knows hes a good person then she will probly say yes.

HOPE I HELPED!!!

Tell her you're a big girl and you can take care of yourself. Remind her that eventually you're not going to be there with her all the time. And you need time to experiment now so you dont rush things later on in life.

it also depends on how old you are. The R thing could mean that you really shouldnt be watchin them

I gave my INSANELY strict parents the same speach and they let me do whatever I want now as long as Im safe, check up with them, and IM back by curfew.

Tell them that you'll call every now and then when you're on a date (( but only a few times )) and that you'll let you're mom at least check out the movie before you go to it.

hope i helped

S_C answered Sunday March 6 2005, 7:24 am:
Well, how old are you. I know a lot of people who's parents still won't let them watch R movies until either the parent saw it first, pr depending what it's R for. Like since some movies are rated R just because it's scary/gory/language, that isn't as bad as rated R for nudity, because that's like gross. I mean, Hide n seek for example... that's pretty much just rated R for the whole horror thing, what else is wrong with it.
And as for having a boyfriend, your mom can't stop you, well she can stop you from going on dates and stuff, which pretty much rules everything out, because no guy wants to date someone he can't go out with... but like if you're over 15, then you really need to sit your mom down and be like, I think you're way overprotective of me, and if I want a boyfriend, or if I want to go see a rated R movie with friends, you should let me.
If you're 13-14, then a boyfriend, though it's a good thing, isn't the most important thing in life, and even though I'm 14 and I've been watching rated R movies since I was like 11, it still doesn't make it okay for you.
If you're under 15, wait it out, unless you're at a friends house and they rented a movie that was rated R, then have fun, enjoy, watch it. But the whole boyfriend thing, seriously talk to your mom about it. My mom was saying me and my sis couldn't date until we were 16, yeah, we had a serious talk about that one, because it wasn't fair at all, she gave in and said high school, and yet my brother is in 7th grade and my mom is allowing him to date (her baby child... ugh, he gets whatever he wants....)

But if you're 15+ DEFINITLEY talk to your mom, if you're under that, then you can try talking to your mom, but you can just as easily wait it out.
Good luck... LaTeR *~Kate~*

TeenageCupid answered Sunday March 6 2005, 7:00 am:
I think you should tell your mom how you feel. First of all , how old are you? I think you should be thankful your mom is over protecting you, that means she cares about you. Shes not letting you date cause you cant trust every single guy. Just tell her how you think you're old enough to date and watch R rated movies. I think she'll think about the dating issue, but it would take her time to be convinced you can watch R rated movies.
