Okay so my friend asked me to go to wisconsin with her and her family this weekend and here i am all pumped up for it. I ask my mom and her answer is " NO." . Yup, thats all she says. NO. No reason to back it up. Which ticks me off might i add. She doesnt let me go anywhere. No concert,mall, or six flags. IM A FREEKIN TEENAGER FOR GODS SAKE. I am old enough to know not to go in strangers cars. I am old enough to know not to take "candy " from people i dont know. I AM OLD ENOUGH! She gets on my nerves. I have no clue what to do.
Oh, and shes those kind of moms who likes to IGNORE YOU while your talking which obviously donts help! UGHHHHHH. I NEED ADVICE. PLEASE!

Dear mom,
Earlier I asked you about going to wisconsin this weekend. I know the decision is entirely up to you, and I understand if there are things you don't want me to do, but it's really frustrating when you don't give me a reason why. I know that you care a lot about me and want to make sure I'm safe, and in the end if I can't go this weekend that is alright, but I would like to have a conversation with you about it so that you know all of the details before deciding, and so that you can explain to me why I can't go. I love you, but there are some things I really want to do with my friends that I would like to discuss with you before you just make up your mind.
thanks
chances are she will approach you if you give her this letter. notes like this, especially when you act mature and say I love you :) show your parents that you are a mature, caring kid that needs to be taken seriously.
lostlj004 answered Monday August 13 2007, 9:50 am: i know exactly how you feel but shes a mom and you gotta know that the reason she does that is because she cares.
just tell her how you feel about how she treats you and when she doesnt listen, tell her about it, tell her you never take your time to listen to me. make her feel a little guilty.
prove to her you are resposible, help her around the house, do her chores etc.
hope i helped [ lostlj004's advice column | Ask lostlj004 A Question ]
