WTF? i mean theres 20 people there. hooly s**t im not freaking 8 years old. and when i got home i was mad so i walked up the stairs pounding my feet on them & she called me down and said yea im sure they're were 20 people going. and i was like mom i named the people. what do you think im lying. and she said i only do it because i care. but i mean. i never get to do the stuff EVERYBODY else is doing. and i always have to make up some lame excuse why i cant go. ugh. i need help!. pleasee im deperate

Alpha345 answered Sunday August 7 2005, 8:49 pm: Well, find out exactly why she is being so overprotective. She needs to atleast give you a valid reason for you not being able to go. I'm sorry but "because it is dangerous" isn't a very good excuse when your going somewhere with 20 people, 2 of them being old enough to have some responsiblity over the others, to a place right down the road from where you are. You need to tell her your getting older and your old enough now to be able to go more places, and especially getting to go places where there is an abundance of friends you obviously know very well. You also need to tell her this in a calm matter, and if she still disagree's, pursue the conversation, let her know how frustrated you are with all this overprotectiveness and keep telling her about it and to give you more freedom and responsibility. Be honest about it and keep at it.
I hope this helped and and your mom eases up a bit.
