My mom will NOT let me go out anywhere. Im 14 years old and i still have yet to go out to the mall with my friends. Shes way too over protective. Im not even aloud to walk down my street to mcdonalds which is not even two minutes away. I have tried numerous times to talk to her about this situation and she still sticks with the same awnser of "no your too young!" She bearly lets me go to school events, and mi grandmother pushes her into the no awnser even farther.
Thanks Rebecca ♥

Oh wow.. seems like you have no way out. My parent's were sort of like that but they still let me go places. I'm 14 now and they still won't let me go to some places and it's just crazy .. I hate it. They don't really understand that when you're young you have to have some freedom and go out and have fun because life is too short for that. Put yourself in your moms shoes. Think about how she feels. She says no because she wants to protect you from getting hurt or from anyhing happening to you. Just wait a little bit longer and try to have a real conversation with her without arguing. Let her know how you feel and both of you should try to understand each point of view.

If you watch the news at all, you can sorta understand why she is so overprotective. There are bad people out there!
There does come a day though when she needs to let you use your brain, and the things she has taught you to do some exploring on your own.
Have you asked her just when she feels you WILL be old enough to do some going to the mall & things with your friends? Start there. Make her actually think about it instead of just saying no.
You need to stress to her that YOU know what to do and not to do if approached by strangers. Until she is comfortable with it tell her you will stay in a group. Maybe you could have a couple of friends walk to and from with you. Those kinds of things.
If it is easier write it down and give it to her that way. She may still not let you go alone...but she will think about it a little more. :)
