Im going into highschool next year and my mother signed me up for an Arts Magnet School. I got accepted but the problem is that I want to go to the public school that all my friends are going to.Most people would say that I could see my friends still but my mother doesnt let me got out, AT ALL. She afriad someone will kidnapp me and rape me or that something horrible wil happen. Shes overprotective.My social life is at school.And my social life will be going to the public high school. She keeps telling me she wont send me their but when she says it she has this smile on her face like shes going to anyway. If u were in my postion or my mothers postition what would you do.

Your Mom is watching out for you but she's too protective. She needs to let go and let you have a life. My daughter started high school last year and I have let her go. Sure, I watch out for her but you cant be too careful. You guys deserve to live and have fun. I hope she will reconsider and let you go to the public high school. Good luck honey!

Well i can sort of relate because I am in highschool (a public one) but my mom hates when i go out cuz she is also overprotective. Now basically i think you should just tell her how you feel, not get angry or anything. Just tell her. If it upsets you that much maybe have some tears? Hopefully your mother will understand and maybe she will let you go out more often.
Id say try that before any yelling or screaming. Then if that doesn't work... get angry =D

Your mother may be over-protective, but you can not blame her for wanting to be protective, that's her job. She is tipping the scales on being so protective that it keeps you from doing your "job", which is to be a "kid", hang out with friends, learn, be happy, in short, enjoy your youth. In the end, she is your mother and whether you like her decision or not, you need to respect her. Acting out and arguing with her will not help your situation, but maybe letting some time go by, maybe even in the fall once you have started school, tell her how things are going and if you have not seen your friends, how much you miss them and would like to see them (even if it means they come over to your house). Be patient. Raising children is tough. Raising parents is tougher :)

honey i am a mother. i felt the same as you growing up. but now that i am older i know why my parents did it.
for one- just fo to the school that they want you to go to, but on the other hand mom needs to realize no place in this world is safe so no matter where you are she cannot avoid all the bad things she thinks may happen.
2- after highschool , it will be another adventure, you and your friends will separate( unless you have best friends) which i doubt you probably just have one or 2, and honey in this world you will make lots and lots of friends and that will be another adventure. friends are gonna come and go and in this world you are priority to yourself. always remember you come first, always remember who will always be there for you , and that will be your parents. you will tell in time sweety, cause i have been thorugh what you have.
