Show her that she can trust you by acting your age. Do things around the house without being told. Take responsibility for being a good student (I suggest you spend some time with spelling and grammar, you write like you are 8). Be reasonable in your requests, and if she says no, then accept what she says without being a smart mouth. Ask if your friend can come over so your mom can meet her, or arrange for your mom to meet your friends parents. Your mom is not being over protective, she's terrified that someone will harm you. Its really hard for parents to let go, even for a little bit, but I don't think your request to visit a friends house is unreasonable. Obey her rules, and show her she can trust you.

hi, I'm a mother as well; I have 3 daughters ages 10 years, 8 years and 7months. I trust my kids to do things. Its other people that I don't trust. So its not so much you that your mom don't trust...its your friends or strangers or the weirdos that are strolling the streets. I know that is one reason why I have a problem with my kids leaving just the yard. I have to watch them even to make sure that they are okay when it comes to them waiting for the bus, and the bus comes 5-7min. after I send them out there. I just don't trust the neighborhood, or the people in our town. A lot of the cops around here really don't do their job, especially when it comes to our side of the town. So I get worried about my kids. I'm afraid that someone will run them over, kidnap them or beat them up something scary. I probably will be like this until I know my kids will be okay, or the day that I die. So don't be upset at your mom, because she's very protective...be upset at the people that ruin this freedom for you. I have just learned to let my kids cross the road by themselves and go to the store, which is just across the street alone...and to check our mail. So your probably not the only kid out there that is being over protected. I hardly ever let them go over to a friends house thanks to this lady behind us...she threatend my kids when they offered them to come over to eat dinner, with a knife, she was very freaky.

Well, some mothers are like that, It depends on the age too.
The only way to get her to trust you, ask her how long you can stay out and if she says 10, be in 10 min. before 10. The same if she says 11. Be never late!! Don't lie and tell her you're going to a girlfriends house and instead you're in a bar. But the main thing be home on time.

Always do what you are expected to do. Be home when you are told to be. Talk to your Mom and ask her to let you go somewhere for a short period of time and show her that it was ok. Parents love their kids and can sometimes be too protective. Be patient with her.

depending on how old you are,,,,she is over protective because she loves you and wants the best for you. its not an easy world out there .people can be very cruel. when she feels that you are old enough to go out and do certain things she will let you know. but shes only doing it for your own good,,,because SHE LOVES YOU AND DOESNT WANT ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN TO YOU.
