My mom expects me to do everything at the same time as my older sister. She was a late bloomer and didn't ever dye her hair or wear makeup until...well...late. My mom expects me to be like her, but I am not! I try to convince her that I am old enough, but no, i have to be exactly like my sister. How can i convince her that I am mature?

You didn't give your age and if you are under 16 you are much too young for make-up. If you are under 18 years of age you need to abide by the rules that your parents have set. Once you are 18 years of age it's time for mom to consider whether you are responsible to wear makeup in good taste.
Why don't you bargain for a lip gloss and mascara by helping around the house doing extra chores. It seems you want to start much sooner than your older sister. And, because you claim that your older sister was a late bloomer and your not says quite a bit why your mother is holding you back on makeup. You are giving her to much trouble by being a nag, Miss Not A Late Bloomer. Be patient......wait your turn.

How old are you first of all?
Secondly, you have to show that you are mature by your actions not just telling her so.
Usually the 2nd daughter gets away with much more at an earlier age. I think your mom will come around. I am 10 years older than my sister, I got to do everything first, but at a much older age. I'm 23 now, married, a teacher, and my 13 year old sister gets to do everything I didn't get to do and more. She got to do everything I did at an earlier age also.
Give it time, I think your mom will loosen up. I started wearing makeup in 7th grade, and dying my hair in 8th grade. I don't think makeup should really start until 9th now, it ruined my face!!! I got break-outs and then I had to wear makeup to cover up the zits! It was horrible. Then my hair was fried, and my mom was even a hair-dresser. With teenage hormones running wild, your hair is fragile, really. Dying it fries it out more. I suggest 16 years old for that. Looking back at the things I did, I think it was too young for some things, and then my sister gets to do things even younger than me.
You have it easier.. You will see!!!

Well it all depends how old u r. But just tell ur mom that u don't have to do everything that ur sister does at the same time she did it or the same age because every one is different . As long as u put the right amount of make-up don't go to the extreme. Just show ur mom that u r mature. Don't wine at ur mom 4 not lettting u do what u don't want. Just give her time & act like a grown up & in no time u r going to be looking hot w/make-up. Maybe is because u r just the youngest than ur sister.

Well, I would say, theres no way to convince your mom to let you do all of those things you want to do. However, you can try to compromise with her. Like, maybe you can both go pick out makeup colors together that are ok for you to wear. As far as the hair thing goes, my mom was the same way. Some times you just have to suck it up and wait until your older. And when your old enough to do all those things you want, you'll just be wishing for the good old days when you still had to listen to mom.....

I am hearing two different issues here. Dyeing ones hair and wearing makeup are two separate issues. Don't try to rush things. Id start with the makeup first. Ask mom for a trial period and also for tips on how to wear it properly. After a while she may see that you are not overdoing it and then maybe you can approach her on dying the hair. Good Luck!

well, first off, you never mentioned your age, so I'm assuming you're a bit younger than you'd like to admit. I'm 24, and my mother never let me dye my hair when I lived under their roof. It was a bit harder for me to understand because she would dye her hair all the time. But you know what? She was my mother. I will still live a decent life if the color of my hair is the color that God created it. And you know what else? Guys like it when a girl doesn't have to paint on makeup to look pretty. I'm sure you're a pretty girl. Just take pride in who God made you to be, and by not badgering your mother about all this, she will learn to respect you because you will be ACTING older.

you never put how old you where but I will tell you when I started to wear make up I was 15 as for dyeing the hair that was weird colors at 16 and my dad stated as long as I did well in school it was cool you could start acting like an adult and not like a kid help your mom around the house and tell her that you would like to be like a young adult

Don't dye your hair,it kill your roots and sometimes you can't go back to your normal hair color.but if you want to prove to her your mature,clean your room/help around the house/ect...and don't keep asking her about wearing makeup and dying your hair because that not what mature people do.I didn't wear make up till i was 15 and when I wore it I look like a clown because I wore piles and piles of makeup.Maybe that your mom fear is you will look like a hooker/clown

First start by acting mature. You really didn't reveal any information about yourself on your profyle so I tried to get something from your best answers, you have none, so I tried to get something from your answers, and I did. Your answers are more or less a typical teenager. I think she feels like me. At a certain age teenagers began to look older and grown men will take you for that. I want my child to look her age for me and for herself. You have plenty of time to do all of the above. I think she is just trying to protect you from the outside world because young girls are vulnerble especially to a predator or a pervert. Money, Love, and Freedom is all teenage girls need to hear and quickly they forget what mom told them. She's just trying to keep yor head on straight instead of taking the wrong turns at an early age.

if you quit bugging her, and prove to her that you are a responsible and mature teen, then she may come around. just lay off until you've proved yourself, then bring up the subject again. you could also try asking her for just a temp dye, or just being able to wear powder foundation and mascara, and not go for the whole over the top thing. just take it all in stride and ACT mature, and maybe your mom will see you that way
