Safety in numbers sweetie - I wouldn't let you go by yourself either.

We live in a paranoid society where missing children seem to be a common problem in our world today. This can make your mom seem edgy, uptight, and overprotective. However, if you have proven to your mom that you are responsible, she should allow you some room for self-exploration and self-discoveries outside of the home environment given that she sets some definite boundaries such as curfews and places you are not permitted to go. Nevertheless, she may trust you BUT not society that is lurking with many predators (whether it be drug addicts, sex offenders, etc).
There really isn't anything you can do to put her at ease at this point due to her distrust for society. I wasn't allowed to go out on my own until I was at least 16 yrs of age. At that time, I was exposed to some of the things your mom fears the most. Your only option may be to wait til you're legally an adult and out of the house and perhaps a few thousand miles from her. As for now, perhaps you can sit down with her and ask her if you two can agree upon a written and set limit on what you can and can't do. See if she's willing to budge and compromise. Good luck and enjoy your youth!

I had the same problem when I was younger but I'd much rather have an overprotective mother than one who didn't care where I was. You're much better off with one who will protect you than one who will let you roam around on you're own. Talk to her about it. If you you don't have a cell phone, ask her to get you one to call you on so you can go to the football games. Tell her you'll do chores to make up for what she's paying. Good luck!

Even though you think that your mother is overly protective, she has good reason to be. Even though you think you are a responsible person, the fact is that there are too many kidnappers, and pedophiles out in society. Think how your mother would feel if she lost you.

You're ONLY 13 and you can't even spell responsible. Relax, she just wants to protect you.

Be grateful she loves you...I know its a pain in the a** now but it will get better. Talk to her reasonably and respect her decisions. My Mom died when I was way too young so you could be worse off. best of luck
