i say talk to him and tell him your growing up and hes just gonna have to get over it. then if that doesnt work all i can say is keep those things a secret. say your going to the movies with your freinds and go with your bf. then the makeup thing. borrow some of your freinds and "accidently" keep it lol

Invite your dad to take you out to lunch because you want to talk about some stuff. Be prepared to talk to your dad about how you feel, but also be prepared to listen to why he does the things he does.
All girls do want this, but parents have lived 13, and 16, and 21, and we know what's best most times. Not all the time, but most times. Don't be in such a hurry to grow up, it's hard work once you get there and you'll finally understand why parents sometimes wish they were kids again. Enjoy ALL your years, they pass by quickly and you can never get them back. Some people grow up so quickly they never remember having a childhood. You spend all but 18 years of your life as an adult, make those 18 memorable.

Okay, I know you are going to think this is the stupidest answer ever, but just listen. I was feeling the exactly the same way as you are when I was 13. I actually obeyed my parents, and by the time I was 18 my parents trusted me so much...I could do what ever I wanted. Now my sister who would sneak behind my parents back and do stuff, now my parents don't trust her at all, and now they keep a close watch on her. And trust me once your 18...you are going to want to have all the freedom you can!!
So don't go behind you parents back and do stuff, so if you think you are old enough to wear makeup and have a boyfriend then you should be old enough to talk to you dad about these things, if he still says no...just agree and wait until next year to try again.
Okay I'm sorry, I know you didn't want a lecture, but just trust me on this?

Try comming up with things like im a good kid and i do my homework or something. I remember when i wanted to get my bellybutton pierced my dad said no right away without giving me time to reason. I waited a few weeks then came up with things like there are worse things i can do and im a good kid and i do good in school and i want it for me not anyone else. He ended up giving in and took me. Just understand where hes coming from you are his little girl. But im sure it will pass and he'll give in at some point. Just give him time and give him reasons why he should let you.

well, usually when girls want to wear make up and have boyfriends it tends to be for the wrong reasons like wanting to do What everyone else does. a lot of kids are into sex and drugs and crap so this probably concerns him. show him that your responsible and you will do whats best for yourself, Doing things like keeping your grades up, always being honest with him and taking part in productive activities. maybe then he'll let you grow up a little more.

It's better to have an over protective dad, than a dad who doesn't care. Keep in mind that he is thinking in you best interest... there is no need to rush growing up -- you will be an adult most of your life, your pre-teen and teen years are only a small part of you life. Don't be in such a rush to grow up, things will work out.
Focus on your goals in life... make up and boys are over-rated.

you're right, all girls WANT that .. and i know he says it's for your best interest .. but it really is. i know you don't appreciate it now, but trust me. i'm not some old woman or something - i'm 16 years old with very protective parents. i'm still not "allowed" to have a boyfriend. but in a few years you'll be glad you weren't allowed to wear make up. it can really ruin skin. i have the best skin out of all my friends because i rarely wear make up.
and if its something you REALLY REALLY believe that you WANT -and won't regret. try sitting down with your dad and talk to him MATURELY. don't get frustrated, show him you're ready to ACT like an adult, and maybe he'll start treating you like one.

Honey, you'll have your whole life to have boyfriends and wear make-up with & without getting into trouble! Later on in life you'll wish that you were still 12 years old, when all you worried about was make-up and boys! Live your life, you're still too young to stress about something so stupid.

Well, I'm sure you dad has a reason why he doesn't want you dating and all.
Seriously, I wouldn't either. The reason for me is that if you are my child and you want to date a guy, I would allow because I'm afraid that you mind get overly hurt if he dumps you.
If you don't understand why your dad is protective, than it is obvious that you aren't ready for the things he doesn't want you doing.

Listen to your dad, he has your best interests in mind. If you start too early with boys and makeup...well it may not be a good thing in the long run. Hang in there. You have your whole life to grow up!
