i cant leave my house to go to the mall , i cant go to my friends house, i cant take a walk. and when im bored she tells me to find something to do. well all i can do is watch tv or eat, haha or my favorite do choress [[not]].
it gets on my nerves and she tells me everything i do is wrong.
which i barely do anything at all becausee im in the house all day. im in colombia away from her 3 weeks and she sais im spending my birthday here and i cant do anything over there.
shes soo overprotective and sais ive been ''acting up lately''
because my boyfriend gave me a hicky....
i mean she acts like im going out and fucking some random person and getting drunk and high at the age of nine.
which is all not truee.
i dont know what to do to make her less over protectivee or to get off my back.

I think I might know why she's so protective. Well, there has been a lot of girls missing lately, think Kelsey Smith, Kara (don't know her last name), and Natalee Holloway. I think that she's just worried about you, or maybe not, but I'm just guessing. Sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk with her, ask her to please listen, and tell her what you're telling us (not word-for-word, lol). Just tell her that you're 16, and before you know it, you'll be 18 and an adult. If you go somewhere, promise to pick up her calls when she calls, or call her at least a few times while you're out, so she won't be worried. I turned 15 a few months ago, and my mom is really overprotective, but she's learned to 'let go' a little bit. I explained to her that no matter what, I'll still be her little girl, no matter how fast I grow up. She calls me like every hour, which I don't find annoying (as I used to), but I'm glad that she cares.

Just talk to your mom and explain that you want to have some freedom. Start out with something small (spending the day at your friend's house just hanging out, spending the night, ect.), and ask her if you can go.

Wow. Your mom does sound pretty strict.
If you can't go to your friends houses, bring your friends to your house. Show your mom that you are responsible. When you ask her if you can do something, ask nicely. Don't start arguing with her is she tells you "no".
There might be something going through your moms head that maybe shes losing her little girl. Haha i know, its kind of weird. But don't argue with her. I know this sounds bad, but ask your mom to take you and your friend to the mall. Then ask her if you and your friend can go look around by yourselves, and you'll be back in 20 minutes. ( I know, that sounds like a pain, but if you show her that you can be responsible she'll cool off)
I'm sorry, thats the best i could come up with. Good luck.
