Oh that sucks, come on, your right smack in the middle of high school, you should be dating. Hmmm my mom never really bothered me so I don't know what to tell you. You are going to have to work the weak points and find a way to manipulate her or something. Maybe offer to bring the guy home to meet her before you two go out (probably not what you want to do cause it's embarrising but it's a start). Tell her you aren't going to have sex (which you shouldn't anyway, you're too young, trust me wait) but if it makes her feel better you will go on the pill. Then again you might not even want to mention the "s" word. Try mentioning you will invite the guy over first and see how that goes. Also explain to her "remember what is was like to be my age" your in high school for god's sake. You can also threaten her with "if you don't let me do anything now I'll just be worse when I go to college and you can't supervise me". LOL that will piss her off but it's the truth. Good luck and if worse comes to worse just lie and say you are hanging out with friends (the old school solution). Hope something I said helps.

Sorry, I agree with your Mom. I couldn't date until I was 16. I never got into trouble, was a good student, good daughter but 16 was it. Rules are rules.
Your Mom knows a lot; she was 15 and she knows what guys were like. You don't want to hear it, but your mom knows more about life - and where you are in yours - better than anyone on the planet. Right now it may seem like she's cramping your style, but trust me: she's right on this one.
The other thing you may not want to hear, but is true, is that being 15 back in the day is pretty much like it is now. The only real difference are the dangers you guys face from STDs, Aids and overly aggressive boyfriends. Trust your mom, she's trying to protect you.

Unfortunatley, those are the rules. Your mom made them, and unless she said it's because she doesn't trust you, then there's really nothing you can do about it. It's not about trust, it's about age. Unfortunately, you have to look at it in her eyes, look at all the young girls getting pregnant these days, she's probably not thinking that you will, but it's a BIG worry for her. Also too, maybe she doesn't want you to get your heart broken so soon. Having a boyfriend is like being on big roller coaster: There are a lot of ups, and downs, and sometimes you get off the ride too fast and sometimes you feel like you are on it forever.

I think you are too young for a single date. Double dating would be ok. I think a 2 year rule should apply..meaning a guy not older than 17 for you and a curfew of 10:30 pm on weekends and 9pm on school nights. Honestly, you are too inexperienced to handle a one-on-one date with someone at your age. I think your mom needs to try harder to trust in you granted you have been raised with good morals and if you demonstrate good judgement and maturity.

She is just trying to protect you, your mom knows that guys are interested in getting a "little" whenever they can, and that is the number one thing on their minds. 15 is a little young, but I won't say too young. It really depends on your maturity. Maybe you could try having your guy friends over as just friends and once she gets to know them a little better, she may bend the rules. You are going to have to ease her into the idea and start out small. Whatever you do, don't sneak behind her back. Chances are she will find out and will never trust you.

How are your school grades and do you take care of your home responsibilities without having to be told to do so? I ask because these are great ways to show maturity, and responsibility. Other than that, I would bring the guy you wanna date around the house to meet your mom. (This is what I had to do.) After about a month of him always being around the house my mom got to know him, eventually she let us start going to the mall together, then it was movies (at first only during the day - had to be home by 8 pm), then we'd go out for dinner and movie. It just took my mom some time to meet and get to know him then she started letting me date him. HTH!

Yes I agree with your mother a whole lot. Mom is your eyes and
she see things that your not mature enough to understand. Mom
really wants the best for you. Dont rush have patient and your
decision making will be a lot easier.

sorry, I can't help you.....I think you are too young to date also. Maybe hang outs with several friends..(guys and girls), but not alone...nope, no way. We are all to nieve at 15....if its not sex, then it's something else
