I'm 13 yrs old, and I've tried the whole "being responsible" thing already. (It didn't work.) Everyone I know is allowed to hang out with their friends around the city, going to movies and shopping and stuff, without any adults around.
I'm missing out on all the parties and oppurtunities to have fun because my Mom is an overprotective control freak! My Dad and step-mom agree that I should be allowed to hang out with my friends too, but my Mom is holding me back. How do I convince her that I'm old enough to do things alone?

At parties it would mostly be hanging out with guys and other friends... No smoking/drinking/sex at all. And my friends are the most conservative people you'll ever meet. One of them still talks to her stuffies, and another watches preschool cartoons!!! That's another part of it; I can't make more mature friends until I'm allowed to DO stuff! And Hot Pants, I bus to and from school!

When I was your age, I felt the same. I know exactly what you mean. You feel apart from everybody when they start talking about going to the movies with so and so.Let me tell you this though, I guess your mom doesnt let you "hang out" because you are at that age where your hormones wake up and you begin to look at guys differently,ya know, right? Just learn to be patient your mom knows what she's doing.( I know you are sick and tired of hearing that "be responsible" bullshit but thats what you will be hearing the rest of your life, even after you're 18)im sorry i gave this long a$$ speach, but this question really affected me.
ps if people here say your stupid or something, 4get about it they felt the same sometime in their lifes 2.

Considering your only 13 their will be plenty of time to party, the question I ask is what are you going to do at a party? Drink Smoke Sex?? If not then it really isnt a party its just hanging out. Your young its going to be a while before you can go out and party legaly anyway.

It depends on how you act. Try talking to her. When you're thirteen there aren't really any parties going on but you can miss out on some oppurtunities. Here's a question for you: Do you think your Mom trusts you?

Well, Girl the only thing I can see is that you have been selfish. Try to sit in your mom's shoe and think about it. ask her what worries her.
1. Let her know all your friend,
2. Ask your groups of friends to come over your house to pick you out. in order for her to see your friends.
3. Importance of all pass your friend numbers to your mum for her to contact them to ask about you,
4. Finally let her know where you go, how will you be going, when coming back home, also how to contact you.
Last I can said is that she got her worries over her head, Lost there as she do not know how to let go. the media really convince your mom to take extra care for you there, unwanted SEX, BABIES............
To parents, own kids will always be their baby in their heart and eyes, even when you are 90 years old.
Care

Not knowing either you or your mom, I would understand her side because I'm a parent, too.
When my daughters each was your age I was more strict with them then to my son when he got to 13.
Peer pressure today is tremendous. Perhaps you're easily led? But if you feel you need a tad bit more freedom, talk to her again and win her confidence.

You are only 13, you will have plenty of time to party and hang out. Don't try to grow up too fast. Trust your mom, she knows you have to grow up, but she also knows the dangers of being out there too soon. Be patient, your time will come. :)

You are only 13!!!!
She is being a responsible parent and keeping you doing age appropriate things. You have plenty of time to do things on your own. Plus, she has to drive your a$$ everywhere.
Don't be in such a hurry to grow up, SHEESH!

You're stupid. Your parents know best. Listen to them. And, fyi, being responsible DOES work. They'll give you more oppurtunities to do things if you'd just stop complaining and maybe consider that they're smarter than you.

Just continue to prove that you can be trusted in the time that you are allowed to go somewhere and when the time is right, for her, she will allow it........

Maybe she feels your friends are questionable.
