my mom wont let me do anything!!?

Question

my mom wont let me do anything. She thinks im to young to go to the mall with just my friends, where tips(for special occasions), and where makeup besides lipgloss. Everyone in my class and in the 7th grade (im in the 8th grade) is able to do all that stuff. How can i let my mom let me do all that without her screaming at me??

im dont wanna do this because everyone else is but im old enough. And also my mom said i can do all of this stuff when i turn 13 and im now 13 and i cant

Answer 1

Im 13 and i can use some makeup. Your mom is just a little over protective.My frineds's mom is over protective and she didn't even let my friend go to my birthday party at an ice rink because it was too ''dangerous'', probably it because she does not trust you enough. Show her that you are responsible and you are capable of taking care of yourself. Hope my advice works!

P.S : you seem like a really nice person feel free to email me, I would like to talk with you(on the computer):p

Good Luck!

Answer 2

ur mom's right about the make up thing. i didn't start until i was in high school. maybe you could ask her if you can wear either mascara or eyeliner and lipgloss. see if she'll let up on that.
as for the mall, what you could do is go to the mall with your friends and mom. you and your friends and your mom could split up and go your own ways. you, with your friends, can go to any stores you guys want and mom can do the same. then make a time and place all of you can meet before going back.
but remember, don't fight with your mom. if you want her to let you go to places, show her that you truly are a mature girl.

Answer 3

How old are you? 12/13 maybe? Your mother's right. You're just a pre-teen or just becoming a teenager. You don't need to wear make-up and all that stuff. It only makes you look artificial and at your age that's way too much stuff for you to be wearing. Your mother isn't trying to make you feel bad, she just wants to protect you from child molestors. If you dress a certain way, then you're just drawing attention to yourself, attention which you may not always feel comfortable with. How about you start with something small, like allowing your mother to accompany you and your friends to the mall and you can go off on your own provided that you don't go too far from her.

Answer 4

You are going to have to work on one thing at a time, so pick the issue that's the most important to you to try first. If you want to hang out at the mall, have your Mom take you and your friends, and meet up with her at a certain time again and don't be late. That way you get your own space but she is still nearby. After awhile, she will begin to trust you nore and will feel safer with letting you go without her (dropping you off and picking you back up in an hour for example). Your Mom is just afraid to let you grow up too fast! Share a favorite fashion magazine picture with her of someone whose style/makeup you would like to try, and ask her if you can go to the mall together and try a beauty makover at one of the makeup counters. Getting her involved will begin to win her over. Also, going together for a manicure can lead up to eventually asking her for nails for a special occassion...the whole idea is to make her feel like it was HER idea! And please don't worry, eventually she will let you do all these things. You just need to show her that you're ready by acting in a mature, responsible manner, and most of all including her in your interests...for example, ask her about a good skin care routine that maybe she herself uses, and use that "in" to discuss makeup! Gradually you will win her over, not by begging or whining but by making her feel like she is your mentor.

Answer 5

Just wait. 13 is the age you should do these things anyways. Be glad you have a mom who is protective of you. Most kids who have no boundaries will do anything and everything they want if they know no one cares. Thsi girl in my class has a mom like that who let's her do whatever she wants... she has two kids and she's 15

Answer 6

I think that you can convince her to let you go out with your friends by always asking a week beforehand and then be really "good" for that week and ask her to consider it. You can convince her to let you wear more make up by asking her if you can use clear mascara first, then every two months, ask her to switch to black. As for eyeliner, just wear so little that she cant tell. When I first started wearing make up, my mom couldnt tell til she saw me on a sunny day and my eyeshadow was sparkling. So wear as little as possible when youre getting out of the house, when you get to school, just add more in the bathroom. Hope this helps, good luck with your mom!

Answer 7

Life is not all happening at the Mall..

If you do all of the things that young adults do ...you will have nothing to look forward to...

Wait until you get into High School...

Only sheep want to be just like everyone else

Answer 8

well u know, I agree with ur mom.now I 'm a university student ,and when I at ur ages, I also want to do this stuff by myself but mom don't let me to.Actually she is right.when childs grow to the early teens, that have the urge to do anything by themselves and thought they r adult rightnow!But actually they don't.U have mentioned makeup,u r too young to makeup right now.most of the cosmetics r harm to ur health now because u haven't grown up. And why u look at others?U shouldn't compare with ur mates about what they have done but u don't.the things won't always goes reght even most of the ppl r doing it.If u want to let ur mom shut up and let u to do all of this, my suggestion is wait paitenely.She will let u to do all of this at the right age(Mom let me to buy clothes is when I was 15?I can't remember but it is around that age.)trust me, no one (even the ppl who answered ur question paitently)will care of u more than ur mom.She is the ppl who gives u all of her care and love in this world.Listen to what her said,she won't to the things harm to u , NEVER!

Answer 9

You should talk to your mom about how you feel, but in a non- accusatory way. However, don't be surprised if she sympathizes with you, but doesn't budge. Not being able to do all of the things your friends are allowed to do is not the end of the world.

Answer 10

Im in 9th grade..and i think around 8th grade is a good time it start wearing some make-up a light blush maybe a pink eyeshadow and a little mascara not nothing too dramatic..It will take her sometime to getting used to don't worry and goodluck
