I am a straight A student, I have a awesome attitude, and I am very trustworthy, but my mom still won't let me go anywhere or do anything. For example tonight I wanted to go to my friend Kimberly's but she said no and she said she don't have to have a reason...What should I do??? I really need to have a social life opther thans school!

How old are you? Does she like Kimberley? Were her parents home? Can you have friends at your house?

A lot of this depends on your age. Maybe your mom wasn't allowed to do things like that when she was your age.
Your mom could be afraid of what the other kids may do. She doesn't know all of them and their parents. She may think they drink or do drugs. The only way to get her over this fear is to have the kids come to your house and let her see what you do in your spare time for fun.

That's what I went through a year or two ago. So I talked to my Mom and convinced her I'd be OK. I introduced her to my friend and their family. 'Let her get to know them, you know. I showed her where the house was and told her that I'd have my cell phone w/ me at all times and it would be on just in case she needed to call me or I needed to call her.
You should try my idea. If you don't have a cell phone, see if you get one or borrow your Mom's. If that doesn't work, stay at the friend's house at all times and give your mom the house number just in case she needs to call.
Good luck. You sound like a good kid 'n' I'm sure soon you're Mom will give you more freedom. 'Just wait a little longer-you're almost there.

Ask her but in a non combative way. Tell her you want to understand that you are not just trying to change her mind. Communication is the best way to develop strong trust for each other. Her rules may suck, but some parents don't care (it's much, much easier to be your kids buddy and let them do anything they want) Really loving your child is to care enough to bear the pain of having them hate you if it's best for the child. Remember- your mom would literally die to protect you- awesome thought , isn't it?

Most parents are like that. I guess they are still really over protected of you. Talk to her and let her know that you will be a good responsible kid.

Invite people over your house to let your mom get to know them and maybe then she will let you. Or let your mom meet your friends parents and maybe then she will be ok about you going over other peoples houses.

Gurl my mom be trippin too!
Just have at least one friend or a couple group of friends that your mom can get to know and trust you around. Once you've accomplished that, if you're going out just let her know that they're going to and she might..... just might... let you go.
