me and my mom are really close were like best friends. But shes way to protective of me. Like she will let me go anywhere within my town or to a friends house but whenever i wanna go out she says no or she wants to know if parents are gonna be there. And even when i do go places she calls me every night and talks to me forever! Im 16 and almost 17 what can i do to make her let go.

Just explain to her that you are growing up and that you should be able to do more than you were able to do when you were say, 14.
I went through a stage like this with my parents, and at first they had a hard time accepting it. I'm not sure if you're the oldest child in your family, but if you are, that makes it even harder for your parents to "set you free."
Just make your mom understand that you love her and that you love spending time with her, but you just want to get out sometimes.
