My mom...
On the last day of school (the 20th for me) my friend wants me to walk to Rita's Water Ice with her. It's only a few minutes away from school. My mom won't let me. How can I persaude her to let me go? I'll tell her i'll bring my cell phone, and the roads we're going on all have sidewalks, and she can pick me up when we're ready to leave.

Dear Friend,
Overprotective parental alert! Your mother is being absolutely ridiculous. Does she realise you aren't a four-year-old?
Ask her for a solid reason why she will not let you go, and find a way around it! If it's a safety issue, ask her to pick you and your friend up from school and drop you where you're headed.
Don't let her stop you from enjoying your adolesence.
Love,
Ainsley.

Get more friends to go. Your best bet is to try and have a large group. Two people might run into trouble, especially in a worried mom's mind, but if there are four or five, it is safer. Go with lots of friends your mom already knows and trusts, in addition to the other precautions. It may help.

Well your mom is just being a parent, you probably would do the same if you were a mother. But your not so you wouldnt know,
the truth is you are 13, so I'm guessing your what, 7th grade or 8th grade? I would just wait a little bit, and dont bug your mom about it, i know it seems like a small thing, but parents have their reasons.
But if you really want to go, be mature and ask her once more, and if she says no, just accept that as the asnwer.
take care<3
