No my mom is not worried I will have sex, she knows I won't do that.

Ask her if she is afraid you are going to have sex. Promise her that you won't and be sincere. You may have to listen to the whole sex talk, but it should make her feel better.

I tell my kids, "I'm not the mother to those other kids."
If we as parents decided on how to raise our teens by how other's raised theirs we would probably be doomed. I seen so many teens today getting to do whatever they want to do whenever they want to do it and I also see these same teens doing drugs, drinking alcohol, getting pregnant and so on.
However, to be fair these same things are going on behind the backs of parents who have a little tighter reign on their kids also.
I'm sure your mother has her reasons for not wanting you to date until you are 16. It is a frightening world out there today for parents of teens. We see our teens faced with decisions involving violence, drugs, sex, and all the consequences that follow. It's not like it was when we were teens, some things are the same but even the things that are the same are more dangerous.
If you really want to try to convince your mother to let you date before you turn 16 you will need to prove to her that you can handle these pressures. Talk to her, show her what you know and let her fill you in on what you don't know. But realize, she does have your best interest at heart.

I am 26, my parents said I could not date until I was 16, They did it for my own protection. I secretly, dated a guy before I was 16, and he was not a nice person. You mom says that she does not want you to date until you are16 because she loves you.

well I am sorry to say but my daughter is not allowed to date until she it 18 so I think that you are lucky. BUT if you really want to date then I suggest that you attempt to prove by actions and words that you are ready. also be prepared to discuss dating with your mom. Don't just ask and beg. Give her a compelling arguement with facts and reasons that you are responible enought to date and take care of your self. even try offering a set of stippulations. Like that you will only date boys your age and that you will only double date. This gives parents a feeling of saftey. good luck

I know a lot of kids who had to wait until they were 16. Dont date. Just have friends. Bring them over let your parents meet them. Go to movies and stuff as a group. Dont date.

Well, just show the responsible side of you this year and if a guy asks you out next year tell him it's a parental issue if you can or not. If he really like you he will understand and let you ask. Most likely if you show your responsible than your mom will say yes.

There should not necisarrily be an age-limit. What I think you should do is gain her trust that you are more mature. Like do stuff that she reallly would like you to do. Like clean the house, make good grades, stuff like that. Then your Mom will gain your trust and see your maturity and reconsider what you are capable of doing as a teenager.
If you already do all that stuff, put extra effort into it then.

In my church all the young people are instructed to wait until 16 to date. You should wait, if you respect your mother's wishes she will allow you more freedom when you are 16
