That im not her little girl anymore, and that my friends mean alot to me. I just started a new school, and am now getting invited out to their houses for sleepovers and such. But my mom is soooo overly protective. I went over to my friends house for a sleepover last week, and it was great, i was safe and it all went smoothly. And now this weekend, i was invited out to go again. But now she's saying " your not going out two weekends in a row". RIGHT when im starting to get a social life, she's already putting an end to it. I'm VERY mad at her, and very upset. How can i make her see that theirs no logical reason for her doing this to her teenage daughter, who needs a social life! All she says is " because i said so". Im definatly a person who is happier when im around my friends, than when im around my parents, mainly because they are like this. Any ideas? thank you.

If logical arguments get you nowhere, then there are few options. Sometimes you just have to follow yr parents. But when I was young I wasn't allowed to go every weekend either... but when I stayed home one weekend, it was easier to get out the next... and I learned to make lots of excuses,... but that was never fun. It is honestly no fun to lie and live a double life just to get a social life... so find the middle way... go one weekend, stay home the next... go out again... stay home again... it should work. And perhaps you could have one of those sleepovers at your place as well... involve yr parents, if you want to or not.... depends on yr age a bit.

I think that your mom has reasons to say so...remember this: parents are always right so you have to get along whether you like it or not...instead of going for sleep overs (which by the way is not safe if you have just moved+you don't know the kids or their families) go to the movies or to the mall with your friends...you'll spend time with them, your parents will have no problem with that+you'll get time to do your homework...that is equally important as having friends...don't get overwhelmed with your new friends as you hardly know them and you have other things in your life too...

understand that it is hard for her to let her little girl go... mom's are overprotective... it is a fact of life... quit being self-centered for a moment and think about it... oh wait, you are a teenager... that's impossible...
send yourself a link to this question and look at it again when you have a teenage daughter wanting to do the same thing you are doing now...
