my mom is really overprotective. she doesnt like to let me go hang out with my friends. i guess she doesnt trust me, but i just dont know why. she seems to thimk that i will get kidnapped or something. but whenever i go out its always with a lot of people, but she still doesnt trust me. none of my friends parents are like that. how can i earn her respect and trust? oh yah im 13 and a girl
beachhun101 answered Saturday July 9 2005, 10:13 pm: ive had the same problem awhile ago...i just gave her reasons to trust me and how she should know that im not gonna do anything stupid while out. tell her you have good judgement and give you a couple chances the first time and if shes not comfortable maybe she can reconsider...hope that helps!

dreamandhope14 answered Saturday July 9 2005, 7:30 pm: My mom was like that too at one point. Try talking to her... you know being all "Mom, you gotta start trusting me, I know what's right and what's wrong... I'm growing up" etc... Sometimes, parents like to hear there teeangers, especially teenage girls, tell them they are ready to act older... and hang out with friends. Good luck.

After she turned 13 her parents still were overprotective, like your mom. What you need to do is sit down with your mom and say "Mom, I'm 13 now and I am mature and responsible enough to take care of myself without your supervision. And since I've become more mature and responsible, I think I deserve more rights as a teenager"

ShYbl0nD3 answered Saturday July 9 2005, 4:16 pm: maybe shes having a tough time letting you go, since you're getting older and more indapendent. Try talking to her about it. I'm sure you two can work something out.
good luck!
