Your mom is probably worried that other people will look down on you for being a tomboy... that other girls won't accept you, and that boys won't be interested in you. She wants you to be happy... and in her mind, being accepted by the popular/preppy girls and liked by boys equals happiness.
Just let her know that you're perfectly happy the way you are. She may not believe it, but that's about all you can do. And it might not hurt to give in once in a while. Let her dress you up from time to time... it'll make her happy, and maybe she'll ease up a bit.

your mom is probably trying to look out for you because she thinks that you may be made fun of by others. im not sayingg you are, but your mom might think so. your mom is most likely only trying to give you a happier life (which in this case she thinks making you more mainstream will do so). make it clear to her that you are happy with how you are. shell get the point. dont yell at her because it wont help. tell her that you like who you are and it wont change. dont let anyone change youu!

She probably wants you to be more of a girly-girl, but it's not okay that she is trying to change who you are. Talk to her about this, and let her know that it is really bothering ou that she is trying to change the girl that you are. Most of all, be confident in whoever you are and stay calm and positive when talking to her, so that she knows you are really looking for a way to end her desire to change you.

I'd say it's because most moms want a daughter they can "spoil", go shopping with, and do other "girl" things with. She doesn't want to change who you are, just make the way you dress & act a bit more girly. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's part of her job as your mom to make you act like a a proper young woman & she may be worried that you aren't.
So don't change who you are, but at the same time compromise- if she wants to do your hair one day, let her, but you don't have to consent to a full head of foils & a full makeup either. Know what I mean?

maybe she thinks that it just doesnt fit you. my mom wont let me die my hair darker because shes afraid im going "goth" and she wants me to be "normal".
your mom just probably wants you to be "normal". but just keep telling her "mom, NORMAL is stupid and boring. NO ONE IS NORMAL."
everyone has their own style. if everyone were "normal" we'd be a pretty damn boring group, now wouldnt we???
take care, :)

Every parent has plans for their children the moment they are born. Your mom probably expected you to grow up and be a miniature version of herself. The fact that you want to be different is probably what's making her rebel.
If you feel comfortable, ask to talk to your mom about it and ask why she won't except you for who you are. I'm sure your mom doesn't mean any harm by it because she only wants what's best for you. Parents aren't perfect either and they make mistakes sometimes. That's where communication is important.
You just keep being yourself, but try to make amends with your mom at the same time.
