my mom wont let me out. she gets mad even if i go to my friends house. since its summer vacation i dont want to stay in my house all bored. but she doesnt let me go out. i dont have cable, im an only child, and the only thing is the computer but i hate playing games in it and a computer cant entertain me for 12 hours a day. what can i do at home thats fun for me? or how can i make my mom let me go out. im tired of staying here. thanks!
But the best thing to do is talk to her in a calm ,reasonable way about things that you can do during the summer. Let her know that you need the socialization and activity. Look into things that are going on where you live. Do you have a YMCA near you? Then ask about any activities that they're offering for teens. Sometimes schools or churches will offer summer activity programs for teens too so you can call around and ask about these. This way, if your mom is worried about your supervision and safety, you can tell her that these are supervised by adults and you can put her mind at ease.
If she doesn't want you going over to your friends houses, then ask if a friend can come over to your house to visit. If it's at all possible, maybe you can ask an adult friend of the family or a family member to speak on your behalf or to offer you some moral support.
