Tell your mom that you know that maybe she's not ready to let you guys go for camp, but try to tell her that you two will be just fine because you will have each other. My mom was like that, too. She used to not even let me go to sleepovers or anything. I told her this: "Mom I'm gonna be alright and you know that. There will always be some way for you to contact me if you need to check on me so don't worry". Like I said, if your mom is worried about you then she can find out how to contact you if she needs to and then maybe she will be less worried because she will know that you two are always a phone call away.

You didn't mention how old you are. The best answer would be for you to sit down with your mom and discuss it. Discuss her fears and reassure her you are mature enough to handle the responsibility of being away for a few days. Beside you will be around people you know. Your sister and church family. Maybe, you can have one of the adults who is going on the trip to talk with your mom to reassure her as well. And on the other hand, if you don't go, it's not the end of the world.

are you sure her issue is about you growing up? of course it's possible, just asking. my advice to you is to first calm down a bit. then sit her down and have a calm conversation where you express your feelings and listen to her concerns. dont go in with the mentality that you need to convince her to let you go to camp. in fact if you are really trying to convince her that you are growing up, the camp thing shouldnt even come up. instead keep the conversation general. the point is that you want to lessen her fears and not put her under pressure. trying to convince her to let you go to camp will take the conversation offtrack and put her on the defensive, which you definetly dont want. tell her how you feel, give her examples of your maturity and ability to take responsibility and then give her some time to digest all that. letting go of your kids as they get older is hard for parents and it takes some adjustment. be patient with her and help her understand your point of view, that should help a bit. good luck.

What makes you think you deserve to go? Have you done extra chores? Attempted to earn the money to go? Proven you're mature and responsible enough?
Seems to me you feel you're entitled to go and assume "It's only $85." Rich or not, $85 each for two people can be a lot when you're raising two daughters, running a home, and dealing with a lot of grown-up responsibilities.
Try to earn it instead of demanding it and acting like it's owed to you. Your mom seems to be trying to teach you a lesson. Take heed. You clearly need this lesson.

Awe, Sweetie! Kids can't tell their moms that they are growing up! I've been a mom for over 27 years now and all of my children are my babies! Hugs to you and maybe if you aren't overly naggingly persistent, she may allow you to go. It's really hard for some of us to let our kids move on...

well how old are you? im 16 and my mom still doesnt want me to grow up... but its something EVERYONE does and i explained that to her.... for example she wouldnt let me hang out with my boyfriend (hes 18) because she didnt want us kissing or something.... i explained to her that it was something that was going to happen... im mature and responsible so she agreed to let us hang out but there are conditions... you need to learn to reason with your mom.... if your daughter wanted to go away for a few days youd miss her wouldnt you? and youd be worried... i know i would be! just tell your mom how you feel and tell her that you will be safe especially because your sister will be with you... trust me talking always works... i learned the hard way!

One doesnt TELL anyone anything. One sees one's maturity in one's actions.
