What exactly happened to your mom? Traumatic experiences happen to all of us humans sooner or later in our lives. It is natural for you to feel like a protector to your mom. Your mom was right, you should have friends and go out and do fun things. What your mom is trying to tell you, she can handle things on her own. She also appreciates what you are trying to do, but she also wants you to not worry so much and have fun with others.
Fears of the unknown is a fear most every human faces in their lives. But fears can also rule us too. Fears can prevent us from having fun with friends and family and take away our lives.
Are you or your mother seeing a psychologist or having any kind of therapy? It sounds like the two of you could benefit from it. Or make an appointment to see your family physician and he or she may recommend you to someone who is more helpful.
Good luck to you sweet heart! Be happy in the knowledge that your mom loves you and cares about you so much! Some children your age aren't loved by their parent(s).
I hope I was some what helpful.

try going to school things, or 4 h or find some friends to hang out with. If you like going to the mall or walking in the park or what ever outside activity will help you. I too struggle with anxiety as well. I have had anxiety since I was younger. Has your mom taken precautions to keep safe? There are lots of things that can be done to help her and you..the links i send are really good sweety. I hope things get better for you. If you need some one to talk to yourmore then welcome to email me any time. Im a good listener.. I too have been through a lot in my life so I do understand where your comming from.. Take care now and have a good day..

sometimes doing something new can be scary. if you want to join an activity find a person who is already involved in that activity. make friends with them. that way it is easier to go into a activity. then they will help you with what you need. chances are that that person will have friends as well so if they like you then you will have more friends. everyone has anxieties but you have to try and control them. if you are really that worried about your mother just call her. i was rather nervous when i did swim team for the first time but it gets better.

find some friends from school and just be around them soon you will find some fun things to do together. try out for some sports where your mom can go and watch you and she will meet new people too. I have a 12 year old girl who is really into softball and most of my friends ive met through her

Can your mom afford buying you a Firefly cell phone? That way you can go out to the park or whatever and call her. Or maybe you can borrow her phone? Heck, pay as you go phones are $30at Wal-mart! that can give you peace of mind and still enjoy your childhood. It's not good for you to be with her all day long, you need to have friends and go out, too.

Try out for sports. Do you like soccer? Give it a try. Its fun, and your mom can come to your games and watch. It will keep you both busy. Sports are a good way to meet friends too. If you dont like soccer, try some thing else, like basketball, or softball is really fun, (I used to play).I hope that helps a little.

Perhaps you could join a sports club or something where your mom could come along and watch you, so that you are getting out and enjoying yourself, without worrying about your mom.

They have a spell checker that you can use before you post your question, I think you should use it!
