tanning!
15/f.
i really really really wanna go to a tanning bed, my moms friend has one, and she always says i can use it. but my mom will never let me. like i know i can talk her into it. but she always says that im not pale, but i feel pale. i just wanna be a little darker. i just want to use it a few times. thats it. i DO NOT want to use that stuff that you put on, like tanning lotion, that makes you streaky, and yea i just dont want that... so how can i convince her to let me go?

my mom didn't want me to go tanning either, and she doesn't want me to start back up again. I first started around christmas for a dance at my school called the SnowBall....I had really bad tan lines from my bathing suit, and needed rid of them for my dress so thats the only reason she let me go. maybe that will help if your going to any end-of the year dances.
I convinced her to let me go before summer because I convinced her it would be better for my skin in the end. I'm not raelly that pale, but i'm outside alot in the summer, and i burn really easily. i told her that is i was able to tan before summer in a way that i woudlnt' get badly burnt, i would be darker for summer, and not burn as easily.
I'm not sure if these will work on your mom, but good luck :D

Before you even try convincing your mom, you might want to know that tanning beds may damage your skin. If you absolutely in need for a tan, then the most natural way to do it is by going outside and being active. Play some sports or take a walk with some of your friends. Your mom is saying this because she cares about you and loves you just the way you are. Sure, there are some days where you may feel like you're at the bottom of the barrel, but you should be happy with who you are and shouldn't have to feel that you have to change you. Some exceptions to that are if you may, for example, need to have a surgery in order to stay healthy, but that's kind of an extreme example. I'd think about it more before you're absolutely sure you want to do this. Do some research about tanning beds. Make sure it safe and good for you. A person's gotta take care of themselves, right?
Hope this helps! Let me know how it works out!
