okay, I understand where she is coming from. I am only 18, and my mom is still somewhat over-protective, but i understand why. as a 13 year old, you are probably very pretty and going out by yourself with a group of friends, (which are probably all girls), is not the best idea. Some older guys are attracted to young girls like you, and you can get into a lot of trouble and bad situations. Offer a solution: Ask to take an older brother or sister to watch out after you, or convince your mom to go with you but not walk with you. Good luck

Don't convince her to let you go you are 13. You may think now she is over protective and don't want you to go out with your friends or on your own, but she is right. Have you seen or heard the news lately where so many children are being kidnapped, raped, killed etc. She is fearful of these things and have your best interest at heart.
Possibly suggest to her if a couple of mothers could go along with you all. If you and your friends are not getting up to mischief then I don't think you should mind. What do you think

Hmmm, not sure that's a good idea. I may sound like an old biddy, but I think you're a bit too young to go to the mall by yourself with your friends. Waaaay too many creeps and wierdos out there who are waiting to pounce on some kid. Take your mom with you and your friends, and agree to go your separate ways and meet in an agreed upon spot in, say, 40 minutes or an hour, just to check in.

Let her meet your friends so that she trusts them and you. My mom was the same way. 13 is still a little on the young side, but yes you are growing up and should tell your mom how you feel and how she should trust you and your friends. Or have a parent go with you, Good Luck!

Thats just a mom being a mom. Ask her if you can go for a short while and then build on it from there. Also if your mom does not know your friends sometimes it will help if you bring them over to meet your mom. This way she knows who your friends are and will trust you more. Good Luck.

You need a parent go with you because there are scary people out there and you could easily get kidnapped. I know what you're thinking "whatever", "you're lying"
But its true young teens have been getting raped, killed, etc..
You may not see it coming but it will happen to you even if you're careful. So please be safe and have at least a relative over the age of 18 go with you to the mall.

well if it is one of the busier malls... i can see where she is coming from... start out by going with a group of friends who go to the mall alone all the time... and also explain to her what ur plans are... like first i'll be going to amercian eagle, then abercrombie & fitch, then i'll get some lunch, etc. then say what time u'd like to be picked up at or where it should work... and if u have a cell phone asure her tha it will always be on and u will pay attention to it very carefully

attempt to appreciate your mom's concerns a touch better right here. She's no longer fearful about you doing something incorrect, she's fearful about people. She's accurate - you extremely can't believe all of us at present. daily on the documents - no count number the position you stay - there is continually something about a mushy lady or lady going lacking or demise. Your mom will be DEVISTATED if something got here about to you, and not in any respect quit beating herself up over letting you do something antagonistic to her most suitable judgment if something got here about because of that. Your very last sentence stuck my interest... "i understand *a thanks to shield myself." i elect to placed that into perspective for you. you may *understand*, although the real truth is that you actually can't. i do not care in case you're a black belt in each practiced martial artwork... you're a 12 year previous lady with a collection of 12 year previous friends. ANY guy can overpower you if he extremely needs to. virtually any guy can overpower an entire-grown lady. Sweetie, your most suitable "protection" is concern. If someone is messing with you, you do not attempt to wrestle and shield your self... you run away. era. as far as your unique question... you opt for to bypass to the mall along with your friends. no longer an unreasonable request for a lady of your age. attempt to compromise along with your mom. tell her that she will be in a position to bypass to the mall with you, and also you'll carry out along with your friends one after the different and meet at a particular position contained in the mall once each hour to ascertain in. That way you get what you opt for, and he or she is shield.

My mom did the same thing to me until I was 16.
You basically have two choices:
1) Deceive her, go behind her back.
Pros: you get to go to the mall! Yipee!
Cons: What happens when you get caught?
2) Wait it out
Pros: a mother who trusts you has MANY MANY benefits when you're older. Believe me.
Cons: don't get to go to the mall
My advice? Get over it... find something else to do.
Talk to your mom about it. Maybe, somehow, she'll understand. Do something to make her know that you're mature enough to make responsible choices for yourself.
